CHARACTER SHEET — YOUNG SANTIAGO, AGE 7 (3 VIEWS, GRAY BACKDROP) A single character sheet of one little boy presented as three panels side by side against a plain neutral gray studio backdrop: Left panel: full-body front view from head to toe, the entire figure including shoes fully in frame, standing straight, arms relaxed at his sides, facing camera. Center panel: full-body back view from head to toe, the entire figure including shoes fully in frame, same standing pose, facing away from camera. Right panel: tight close-up portrait of his face and shoulders, looking calmly into the lens. Young Santiago: a 7-year-old Spanish boy, slim child's build, about 1.22 m tall. Soft oval face with rounded cheeks and a small pointed chin; large, striking warm hazel-amber eyes with full dark eyebrows and long lashes; a straight little nose; soft full lips; olive skin lightly freckled across the nose and cheeks. Thick dark brown curly hair, voluminous and tousled, medium length on top falling in loose curls over the forehead. No facial hair. A calm, soft, slightly solemn expression — wide-eyed, gentle and direct. Outfit: a short-sleeve crew-neck t-shirt with bold faded horizontal stripes in dusty brick-red and washed navy, soft and worn-in. On the BACK of the shirt, crudely hand-painted in rough uneven black brush strokes like a homemade kit: "SANTIAGO" in wobbly hand-lettered capitals across the upper back with a large hand-painted number "30" below it — clearly done by hand, paint smudged and uneven, not printed. Paired with relaxed olive-green cotton shorts reaching mid-thigh; tall white tube socks with two navy stripes pulled up just below the knee; and scuffed off-white low sneakers with navy and red detail. The front shows only the plain striped tee; the painted name and number are visible only on the back. The same identity, outfit, and hair stay perfectly consistent across all three panels. Layout and consistency: three equal vertical panels with thin dark dividers, identical soft lighting and identical gray backdrop in every panel. Both full-body panels frame the complete small figure from the top of the head to the feet; the close-up isolates the face. Same child, same wardrobe, same hair in each view. Lighting: soft, even directional studio light from the front, gentle shadow rolloff, readable child skin texture and freckles, subtle catchlights in the eyes, clean neutral exposure. Optics: sharp focus on the subject, full head-to-toe body in the side panels, fine facial detail in the close-up, clean realistic photographic image. LOCKS: exactly one identical 7-year-old boy shown in three views (full-body front head-to-toe, full-body back head-to-toe, face close-up), child proportions, feet and sneakers visible in both full-body panels, plain gray backdrop, faded red-and-navy striped crew-neck tee with hand-painted "SANTIAGO" and "30" on the back only, olive-green shorts, tall navy-striped tube socks, scuffed off-white sneakers in every panel, thick dark curly hair, large hazel eyes, freckles, no facial hair, calm gentle expression. Hand-painted lettering, not printed. No extra people, no other text, no props, no cropping of the body.
Recreate
Photoreal, 8K, cinematic. An empty makeshift street football pitch in a working-class Spanish housing estate: a worn cracked concrete/dirt ground with faded markings, a rusty netless metal goal against a low painted wall, weathered apartment blocks with balconies, hanging laundry and graffiti on all sides, an old cast-iron lamp post, a couple of worn benches, a bike leaning against a wall. Warm golden-hour light, low sun, soft haze, long shadows, faded sun-bleached palette. Empty, no people. No text other than incidental graffiti.
Recreate
old, worn black-and-white panel football (regulation size 5), centered on a plain neutral gray studio backdrop, no people. Heavily used and aged: yellowed grimy panels, scuffed faded pentagons, grass stains and dried mud, cracked seams with frayed and loosening stitching, a couple of panels peeling, slightly under-inflated — clearly kicked around for years. Aged synthetic leather, dull worn surface with no shine. Soft directional studio light from the front, gentle highlights revealing every scratch and stain, soft contact shadow beneath the ball, sharp realistic focus across the whole ball.

PROP REFERENCE — HANDMADE LASHED-TOGETHER WORLD CUP TROPHY A single handmade trophy, presented as a clean prop reference centered against a plain neutral gray studio backdrop, no people. The object is a homemade, child-built imitation of the football World Cup trophy, NOT welded — instead crudely assembled, bound and lashed together from scrap parts using wire, rope, twine and bent iron rods. Form: it roughly echoes the iconic shape — two columns/figures rising from a wider base, curving up to support a round globe-like top — but lopsided and improvised. The pieces are held together by hand: bent iron rods and metal bars tied and wrapped with wire, string and frayed rope; knots and twisted-wire bindings visible at every joint; parts wedged, bound and balanced rather than fused. A dented metal ball or old can forms the globe on top, tied down with crossing wire. The base is a bundle of rods and a tin can lashed together. No weld beads, no solder — only bindings, knots, wraps and tension holding it. Texture and materials: rusty iron rods, bent wire, coarse rope and twine, scrap metal bits, a dull metal ball; patchy gold and bronze paint rubbed over the raw rust and steel to fake the golden look, the gold worn and uneven. Visibly fragile, handmade and a little crooked. Lighting: soft directional studio light from the front, gentle highlights on the metal edges and faux-gold, soft contact shadow beneath the base, clean neutral exposure that reads every rod, knot and binding. Optics: sharp focus on the whole object, fine detail on the wire wraps and rope knots, clean realistic photographic image. LOCKS: one handmade trophy loosely shaped like the World Cup, NOT welded — built from iron rods, wire, rope and twine all bound, tied and lashed together with visible knots and wraps, patchy gold/bronze paint over raw rusty metal, on a plain gray backdrop. Homemade, crooked and fragile, not a real polished trophy, no welds. No people, no text, no logos.
