## Prompt

```text
Goal: Create a cinematic 6-panel character concept sheet showing the same older male character, {character_name}, reimagined across different genres and settings while keeping his face, age, posture, and stern expression consistent.

Canvas: Wide 16:9 image divided into a clean 3 columns by 2 rows grid, with thin white dividers between panels. Each panel is a realistic waist-up portrait, centered composition, high-end photographic lighting, shallow depth of field, detailed skin texture, gray wavy hair, short gray beard, serious direct gaze, hands often in pockets or relaxed at sides.

Subject details: The man is in his late 60s to early 70s, tall and dignified, rugged but refined face, silver-gray swept-back wavy hair, neatly trimmed gray beard and mustache, light skin, calm authoritative presence, looking toward the camera in all panels. Keep his facial identity identical across all six images.

Panel layout and exact count: Include exactly 6 discrete portraits:
1. Top left: Victorian or early 20th-century gentleman in a dark three-piece suit with waistcoat, tie, pocket watch chain, white pocket square, standing in an elegant private library or study with tall bookshelves, heavy curtains, warm window light, wooden desk, framed photo, and antique decor.
2. Top center: Modern noir version wearing a black turtleneck and long dark overcoat, hands in pockets, standing in a narrow wet city alley at night with streetlights, reflective pavement, cool blue-gray lighting, cinematic urban mood.
3. Top right: Ancient Roman or fantasy statesman wearing a deep burgundy cloak/tunic with ornate clasps, leather bracers, decorative belt, standing among stone columns and classical architecture, warm muted historical lighting.
4. Bottom left: Futuristic sci-fi commander wearing a sleek dark navy high-collar uniform with minimalist seams, standing in a clean metallic spaceship corridor or advanced laboratory with white glowing light strips and cool gray surfaces.
5. Bottom center: Post-apocalyptic survivor wearing a worn olive jacket, layered dark sweater, scarf, weathered practical clothing, standing in a dusty desert industrial wasteland with ruins, pipes, construction frames, and a hazy beige sky.
6. Bottom right: Contemporary luxury version wearing a fitted navy suit over a dark open-collar shirt with pocket square, hands in pockets, standing in an upscale dim lounge or hotel interior with dark paneling, warm lamps, sofa, and elegant moody decor.

Visual style: Ultra-realistic cinematic photography, consistent character likeness, premium film still quality, natural proportions, detailed fabrics, atmospheric backgrounds, dramatic but believable lighting, rich contrast, sharp subject with softly blurred background.

Constraints: No text, no logos, no captions, no watermark. Preserve the exact 3-by-2 grid and exactly six genre interpretations of the same man. Avoid changing his age, ethnicity, beard, hairstyle, or facial structure between panels. Use {overall_mood} and {image_quality}.
