Faceless Shinobi Character Redesign

Objective: For{argument name="character name" default="A rugged, wandering ninja"} Create a fresh take on an old-school anime character design, showcasing two versions on the same wide canvas: a large cropped portrait on the left and a full-body crouching pose on the right. Canvas: 16:9 wide, landscape image, matte gray paper-textured background, no border, no logo, no title. Employ a highly detailed anime concept art style with sharp, ink-like lines, layered cel shadows, weathered fabric textures, and warm rim lighting from the upper left. Layout: The left half primarily features a top and bottom cropped half-body portrait, its face deliberately obscured by a large, solid-color, matte dark brown rectangle. The right half shows the same character in a frontal crouching pose, its face similarly obscured by a smaller, solid-color rectangle. Present the two views side-by-side, like a character redesign comparison. Main details: The character is a weathered, elderly ninja or ronin, with messy, spiky gray hair peeking out from beneath a dark indigo turban. A small tuft of pointed white beard is visible below the obscuration. Clothing color scheme:{argument name="main cloth color" default="Deep indigo"} The outfit features charcoal gray, matte brown leather, grey-beige bandages, and deep red accents. It comprises eight clearly visible pieces: a wrap-around headband/bandana, a heavy, layered scarf around the neck and shoulders, a loose cloak or cape-like robe, a dark-colored undershirt, loose charcoal gray trousers, a pair of wrap-around arm guards and hand bandages, a pair of wrap-around boots, and a set of leather knee pads on the left knee. A circular red epaulette is added to each upper sleeve, each adorned with a pale floral emblem. In the full-body view on the right, a katana with a patterned hilt and small guard is slung across the character's back. Posture and expression: The face is not visible; the posture conveys the calm, dignified air of a seasoned ninja. In the full-body view, the character crouches, elbows close to the knees, bandaged hands loosely clasped in front of the body, knees apart, feet on the ground, and the cloak draped between the legs. In the close-up view, emphasize the layered folds of the scarf, the scattered strands of hair, and the beard beneath the face mask. Visual Style: Modern high-end anime redesign, similar to an exquisite samurai fantasy artbook; delicate fabric folds, worn boots, dusty bandages, aged leather, subtle scratches, restrained color palette, dramatic yet soft lighting, clean silhouettes, and a non-realistic style. Constraints: Includes 2 character images, 1 samurai sword, 2 red floral epaulettes, and 2 rectangular face mask blocks. Do not add any text, speech bubbles, UI, extra weapons, extra characters, or background landscapes.
