1. Lock character identity first

Keep face shape, signature hair, body proportions, outfit colors, fur patterns, and key accessories stable. Expressions, poses, camera distance, and effects can change from sticker to sticker.

2. Treat style as a visual system

Do not add an art style as a final filter. Decide the rendering, acting, camera language, effects, and typography first, then let the same character perform inside that visual world.

3. Use a frameless 5×3 layout

The 5×3 grid is only an invisible placement guide. Avoid card-like panels, boxed backgrounds, and repeated vignette blocks. Each sticker should read as an independent character-centered cluster.

4. Design typography as part of the scene

Phrase size, weight, angle, outline, and placement should support the emotion without covering the face, hands, or silhouette.

5. Audit the whole set

Compare distant slots such as 1, 8, and 15 to catch gradual drift in face, hair, outfit color, proportions, and accessories.
