CHARACTER: Canvas 940x940, transparent PNG.
Style: dark fantasy, heavy black ink outlines, flat cel shading with gritty texture, ember-orange and ghostly-teal rim light on bone white against void-black shadows.
Draw ONE base: a grim reaper with a bare bone skull head, NO hood.
Facing: three-quarter-right, head and body turned about 40 degrees so the face points to the viewer's right; the far eye socket is partly hidden behind the nasal ridge and the far cheekbone is narrower; a skull has no ears, so draw none. Head tilted slightly down, sockets looking up from under the brow ridge, slow menacing stance.
Placement: crown (top of the cranium) at y=220 with clear empty space above it for hats; eye line y=380; chin/jaw bottom y=530; narrowest neck y=560; head 290px wide centred on x=470 (head spans about x=325 to x=615); skull about 1.3x taller than wide with a domed, cracked cranium and a narrowing jaw.
Eyes: deep black sockets, each lit by a small glowing ember-orange point.
Jaw: smooth bone, NO teeth, NO mouth line.
Neck: bony vertebral neck, bare, about x=425 to x=515, meeting the shoulders at about y=600.
Body: broad shoulders and torso wrapped in bare bone (ribcage, collarbones), no clothing, collar, scarf, coat, cloak, chain or necklace. The torso runs straight off the bottom edge at belly-button height, no end, outline or empty space below it (never a floating bust).
Arms: the viewer's-right arm is raised OUT TO THE SIDE, upper arm angled away from the torso, forearm upright, bony hand in a loose EMPTY grip around nothing centred near x=800, y=590, the hand and forearm fully clear of the chest and belly; the viewer's-left arm hangs relaxed at the side. Do not draw any held item, hat, glasses, mouth or clothing. Nothing crosses in front of the chest.
Output: base.png.
Weights file: none (single base).
BACKGROUND: Canvas 940x940, opaque PNG, full bleed.
Style: same dark fantasy ink look, simplified: soft, low-detail, muted values, so the reaper stays the subject; keep the centre (x=250 to x=700, y=180 to y=940) calm with no strong detail or bright spots behind the head and body. No characters, no figures, nothing in the foreground.
Themes, 12 files: 1 foggy graveyard at night; 2 crumbling stone crypt; 3 blood-red moon over bare trees; 4 sea of green soul-fire; 5 cathedral window in moonlight; 6 swirling void of purple smoke; 7 graveyard fog in ghostly teal; 8 crypt lit by ember-orange torchlight; 9 red moon behind drifting mist; 10 soul-fire embers rising in darkness; 11 cathedral window, cold blue night; 12 rare lightning-struck sky.
Output names: background_01.png to background_12.png.
Weights file: background_weights.json with weight 10 for files 01 to 11 and weight 2 for background_12 (rare lightning-struck sky). Also write artifacts/base_b.png and artifacts/base_c.png: two more takes of the SAME character on the SAME template and pose, each a SEPARATE, FRESHLY GENERATED image (run the image tool again for each one; never copy, edit, recolour or re-save base.png), so that if one comes out too big, too small or off-centre another may fit.
Write artifacts/base.png, artifacts/background_01.png .. background_12.png, and artifacts/traits.json: {"backgrounds":[{"file","name","weight"}...]} with weights summing to 100.
