Create a cinematic, production-grade character design sheet for a director, art department, and animation team. This is an ORIGINAL character built from the description below — there are no reference photos, so render his appearance precisely and keep it identical in every view. Character name displayed on the sheet: "BARSIK". Must feel like a high-end animated-feature development board, not a generic model sheet. CORE DIRECTIVE (NON-NEGOTIABLE): No generic layouts, no evenly spaced grids, no symmetry for symmetry's sake. Composition art-directed, intentional, slightly asymmetrical. Every section placed by hand. ON-SHEET TEXT: all labels in ENGLISH only, sharp and legible, no invented characters. Do not render any Cyrillic anywhere. CHARACTER IDENTITY: Name: Barsik | Species: domestic shorthair cat, male, 6 years old | Size: reaches just above a grown man's ankle | Build: genuinely overweight — heavy round body, low-hanging belly nearly brushing the floor when he walks, short thick legs, soft double chin, thick short fur | Design language: Pixar-style 3D animation, appealing rounded shapes, expressive over anatomical, original non-IP design. FACE DESIGN (STRICT — keep identical in every view): broad round skull, wide cheeks, prominent whisker pads, short muzzle | Fur: warm ginger-orange tabby with darker ginger stripes along the back, sides and tail, a classic M-shaped tabby marking on the forehead, cream-white chest, chin and belly, four white paw socks, a small white tail tip | Eyes: large, wide-set, amber-green with big round black pupils, huge emotional range | Nose: small, pink, with one darker freckle on the LEFT nostril | Ears: short, rounded, pale-pink insides | Whiskers: long, white, slightly asymmetrical | Collar: thin dark-red fabric collar with a small brass tag, worn in every view, slightly loose. PERFORMANCE DIRECTION: caught mid-moment, never posing. Comedy through stillness and timing, not big grimaces. Emotion read through the eyes, ear angle, tail position and body weight. Movement rhythm: heavy, soft, deliberate; explosive only in short bursts. Idle: sitting bolt upright, tail curled around the paws, quietly judging. TURNAROUND (STRICT): full-body front, 3/4 front, side profile, back, 3/4 back. Identical proportions, body weight, markings and collar in every view. No drift in silhouette or stripe placement across any angle. HEAD STUDIES: Alert (pupils fully dilated) · Deadpan neutral (his default) · Deeply offended (eyes narrowed, ears back, chin lifted) · Maximum innocence (perfectly round eyes, neutral ears) · Sleepy contentment (one eye open) · Predatory focus (whiskers forward, shoulders tense). All mid-thought, not posed. MARKINGS BREAKDOWN: close-up insets of the forehead M-marking, the back-stripe rhythm, one white paw sock, the tail tip, the nose freckle, the collar tag. LAYOUT: clean art-directed board on a neutral light-grey background. Include a height scale showing the cat against a human leg for size reference, English annotation callouts, a colour palette strip, and small margin production notes. STYLE: Pixar-style high-end 3D animation render — soft rounded appealing shapes, subsurface scattering in the fur, warm cinematic global illumination, rich fur with individual visible strands, big readable emotions. Not photorealistic. Warm limited palette: ginger orange, cream, dark red, oak brown, moonlight blue. CONSISTENCY RULE (STRICT): face, proportions, body weight, markings, collar and rendering approach identical across all views. No reinterpretation between angles. Ever. OUTPUT: high detail, sharp focus, development-ready fidelity suitable for an animated short pitch. 16:9 landscape board.
