The Old Detective Runs Through Eight Poses
A retro hand-drawn animation-style character sheet — the old detective walks through a row of full-body poses.
Prompt notes
✍️ A character sheet lives or dies on whether the poses actually spread out — cram eight poses into one register and it's effectively just one drawing. The phrase 'tapered line endings' does more work than any style keyword; it's what decides whether the result reads as hand-drawn or vector.

📋 Prompt Midjourney Parameter Style
Picture a character design sheet built around an aging cartoon detective in hat and trench coat, shown full-body and walking through a series of different poses, drawn in the hand-inked feature-animation style of late-1980s American studios — springy tapered linework, rounded silhouettes, warm flat fills. Presented as a screen grab against a plain white background. --ar 31:24 --v 6.0 --style raw
