Character sheets from one image: model comparisons fail, this identity-lock prompt works

The author shares hands-on experience generating character sheets from a single reference image:

ZIT, their main tool, handles character sheets poorly with low success rates.
Qwen 2511's character workflow produces low-detail, over-smoothed fake-looking skin; Qwen2.1 has bad anatomy and poor reference adherence.
The working approach: crop the front pose directly from the reference, then generate the side pose with an identity-lock prompt and stitch them together. Key prompt elements: exhaustively list preserved attributes (face, hair, skin tone, clothing, materials), forbid redesign/beautification/stylization, and constrain camera (true side profile, centered, plain white background, no crops).
