   RIKO character sheet

   Image

   Copy

   Create a premium character-design reference sheet on a clean light cream / pale warm-gray studio background for an entirely original young raccoon named RIKO. Organize the image like a professional high-end 3D animated feature-film character model sheet. Every view must show the exact same Riko with strict identity, fur markings, facial structure, body proportions, paw consistency and tail-ring consistency.
   At the top-left, include the simple title “RIKO”. Under the title, include small character information reading: TYPE: young raccoon, PERSONALITY: clever / curious / cautious / overconfident, BUILD: small agile body / short legs / nimble paws / fluffy ringed tail, STYLE: premium realistic 3D animated character, AGE APPEARANCE: young. Include a small labeled color palette for SILVER-GRAY FUR, DARK FACIAL MASK, CREAM MUZZLE, INNER EARS, PAWS, TAIL RINGS and EYES.
   Show a large full-body front view and full-body side view on the left. In the center, show a large full-body 3/4 hero view and a full-body rear view. On the right, show head front, head side and head 3/4 views. Along the bottom, include an expression strip showing FOCUSED, CURIOUS, SUSPICIOUS, PROUD, PANICKED and AWKWARD expressions. Beside it, include three small action poses showing Riko sneaking low to the ground, climbing vertically with all four paws, and freezing stiff in place after hearing a sound.
   Riko is a completely original young raccoon with a small agile body, slightly narrow torso, short sturdy legs, compact shoulders and a soft fluffy silhouette. He should not look bulky, heavy or cartoonishly round. His body should feel lightweight and physically suited for sneaking, sliding, climbing and balancing. His fur is mostly soft silver-gray with slightly darker gray along the back and outer tail. His under-face, chin, throat, chest and lower belly are soft pale cream. His iconic facial mask is deep charcoal-gray and wraps across both eyes in a smooth tapered shape, but it should be unique and asymmetrical enough to feel original rather than generic.
   He has medium-sized expressive amber-brown eyes with visible irises and natural highlights. His eyes should feel alert, observant and intelligent, not oversized or babyish. His ears are moderately large, upright and rounded, with soft cream inner-ear fur. His muzzle is short and tapered with a small glossy dark nose and a compact mouth. Give him one small messy forehead tuft of slightly lighter fur between the ears as a subtle identity marker. This tuft must remain consistent in every view.
   His front paws should be small, nimble and dexterous with visible finger separation appropriate for raccoon anatomy, but not exaggerated into human hands. His hind paws should be slightly longer and flatter, useful for climbing and balancing. His tail is medium-long, fluffy and distinctly ringed with alternating soft gray and charcoal bands. Keep the tail moderately thick and expressive, but never oversized like a fox tail. The exact tail ring pattern must remain consistent in every view.
   Riko’s personality should come through in his posture and expression. He should feel like a tiny self-serious thief who believes he is extremely professional. His comedy comes from intense focus, cautious movement, freeze reactions and overconfidence, not from costumes or props.
   Do not give him any thief costume, mask accessory, hat, gloves, cape, tools, gadgets, backpack, shoes, belt or clothing of any kind. He must feel like a natural raccoon, not a dressed-up character. No logos. No weapons.
   Use premium realistic 3D CGI animated-film rendering with detailed soft fur, realistic fur breakup around the cheeks, tail and limbs, physically believable materials, natural eye reflections, subtle contact shadows and clean cinematic studio lighting. Combine believable raccoon anatomy with slightly stylized proportions suitable for expressive physical comedy.
   Riko must have a completely original visual identity and must not closely resemble any recognizable existing raccoon mascot, cartoon raccoon or franchise character.
   Use only the clean light cream / pale warm-gray studio background. No environment. No picnic props. No additional characters. Every model-sheet view must preserve the exact same face, amber-brown eyes, charcoal facial mask, forehead tuft, fur colors, body proportions, paw shapes and tail-ring pattern.

   Seedance 2.5 video

   Video

   Copy

   Create an exactly 30-second vertical 9:16 premium 3D animated comedy short. Use the attached Riko character sheet as the exact visual reference for Riko. Maintain his identical face, amber-brown eyes, charcoal facial mask, silver-gray fur, cream muzzle and chest, small messy forehead tuft, compact agile body, short sturdy legs, nimble paws and exact fluffy tail-ring pattern throughout every frame. The reference defines Riko’s appearance only. If a storyboard board is also provided, use it only as a sequence and composition guide. Every storyboard panel represents a different moment in time, so never combine multiple Riko poses from separate panels into one frame.
   Riko is the only visible character for approximately the first 26 seconds. He is a natural young raccoon with no clothing, thief costume, hat, mask accessory, belt, gloves, backpack, tools or gadgets. His “professional thief” personality comes entirely from cautious movement, intense observation, serious facial expressions, freeze reactions and overconfidence.
   The final reveal introduces a second raccoon named Moku. Moku is a completely separate individual and must never look like a duplicate of Riko. Moku is slightly smaller, has darker cool-gray fur, no forehead tuft, narrower amber eyes, a cleaner symmetrical charcoal face mask and a slightly shorter fluffy ringed tail. Moku remains entirely inside the picnic basket until the final reveal. Do not show any part of Moku before approximately 0:26. No paws, ears, eyes, fur or tail from Moku may be visible before that point.
   The entire story takes place in one quiet sunny countryside picnic clearing during consistent warm daylight. A large tree stands near one side of the clearing. Several meters away is one sturdy rectangular wooden picnic table with two permanently attached benches. The table remains completely stationary throughout the entire video. One large deep rectangular wicker picnic basket sits securely on the tabletop near the far end. The basket has a broad flat base and does not slide, tilt, rotate or fall. Its lid is attached by one fixed hinge along the far edge of the basket. The lid opens upward and backward. The hinge has enough resistance to hold the lid open after Riko raises it, so the lid does not randomly fall shut. Riko deliberately lowers the lid again during the final second.
   The tabletop contains only three other visible picnic objects. One white ceramic plate lies flat on the tabletop, one metal spoon lies flat beside the plate, and one tall closed green thermos stands securely upright farther away. The plate never moves. The thermos never moves, tips or falls. The spoon is the only small tabletop object that moves, and it moves exactly once after Riko accidentally nudges it.
   Inside the picnic basket is exactly one oversized sandwich. The sandwich is large enough for both raccoons to grip opposite sides but still small enough to fit comfortably inside the basket. Moku begins crouched low inside the deep basket with the sandwich in his paws. The basket walls and closed lid completely hide Moku from every exterior camera angle until the final reveal. The sandwich remains inside the basket until Riko opens the lid and grabs it.
   Use a premium realistic 3D CGI animated-film aesthetic with detailed soft raccoon fur, realistic wicker fibers, natural weathered wood, rich green grass, warm sunlight, cinematic shadows and expressive but physically controlled character animation. The overall presentation should feel like a serious miniature heist played for comedy. Maintain believable body weight, gravity, climbing, friction, object contact and momentum. Every moving object must have a visible physical cause. Avoid exaggerated rubbery anatomy or impossible acrobatics.
   From 0:00 to 0:02, open immediately on a close low-angle shot of Riko partially hidden behind the trunk of the large tree. Only his head, one shoulder and part of his ringed tail are visible. Riko cautiously leans around the tree and scans the clearing with intense concentration. Camera shifts with his gaze to reveal the picnic table several meters away. The wicker picnic basket sits on top. Its lid is almost closed but has one narrow natural gap of only a few centimeters. Through that gap, Riko can see only a small edge of the oversized sandwich. Moku is completely invisible. Riko’s expression instantly changes from curiosity to total focus.
   From 0:02 to 0:05, use a low lateral tracking shot. Riko leaves the tree and sprints low through the grass toward the picnic table. His body stays close to the ground and his ringed tail streams naturally behind him. As he reaches the near bench, he lowers his body further and quickly scurries underneath the fixed bench rather than jumping over it. The bench never moves. Riko emerges safely on the other side and stops close to one thick wooden table leg.
   From 0:05 to 0:08, use a clear side shot showing the full table leg. Riko places both front paws against the rough vertical wood and begins climbing. His front paws grip the wood while his hind paws push upward. His body remains close to the table leg. His tail hangs naturally beneath him and reacts only to his body movement. Riko climbs directly from the ground to the tabletop level. He does not jump, teleport or use the bench as a floating step. He reaches the upper edge and pulls himself safely onto the tabletop using both front paws.
   From 0:08 to 0:11, show Riko crouched low on the tabletop. The wicker basket is visible farther ahead. Between Riko and the basket are the white ceramic plate, the flat metal spoon and the upright green thermos. These objects remain in their established positions. Riko lowers his body and begins moving slowly across the tabletop with careful deliberate steps. He looks at each obstacle before placing his paws. His expression is extremely serious, as if this is a major operation.
   From 0:11 to 0:13, use a low close side shot of Riko moving beside the plate. His front paws pass safely around it. As his rear body follows, the edge of one rear paw accidentally touches the handle of the metal spoon. The spoon rotates only a few centimeters around one contact point on the tabletop and its bowl lightly taps the edge of the ceramic plate with one clear metallic CLINK. The plate stays fixed. The spoon immediately stops moving after the tap. Nothing falls. Riko freezes completely in place. His eyes widen. One paw remains suspended slightly above the tabletop. His tail stops moving.
   From 0:13 to 0:16, hold the tension for a brief beat. Riko slowly moves only his eyes from side to side, checking the clearing. Nothing else happens. No humans appear. No additional animals appear. The plate, spoon and thermos remain still. Riko slowly relaxes. His raised paw lowers gently onto the tabletop. He resumes moving toward the basket, even more cautiously than before.
   From 0:16 to 0:19, Riko reaches the picnic basket. Use a medium side shot showing the basket clearly resting flat and securely on the tabletop. Riko crouches beside the near edge and studies the narrow gap beneath the lid. He places one paw lightly against the wicker side to stabilize his own body, not to move the basket. He peers into the gap but can see only darkness and part of the sandwich. Moku remains completely hidden below the rim and behind the sandwich.
   From 0:19 to 0:22, show the complete lid-opening action clearly. Riko places both front paws underneath the near edge of the hinged basket lid. His hind paws remain planted firmly on the tabletop. He slowly pushes upward using both front paws. The lid rotates upward around its fixed far-side hinge. The basket itself does not move. The lid remains permanently connected to the hinge. Riko raises the lid until it is open at roughly 80 degrees. The hinge resistance keeps it in that open position after Riko releases it. The lid does not fall back down.
   From 0:22 to 0:24, use an over-the-shoulder view from behind Riko looking into the deep basket. The oversized sandwich sits near the upper center of the basket. Because of Riko’s shallow viewing angle, the basket rim and sandwich block the lower interior from view. Moku remains completely hidden below and behind the sandwich. Riko’s eyes widen with delight. He slowly reaches both front paws into the basket toward the near side of the sandwich.
   From 0:24 to 0:26, Riko grips the near side of the sandwich with both front paws and pulls it toward himself. The sandwich moves only about 10 centimeters toward Riko, then stops. Riko freezes. He looks confused. He adjusts his grip and gives one second gentle pull. The sandwich resists because Moku is physically holding the opposite side inside the basket. The sandwich never moves by itself. It never levitates. It never leaves the basket during this interaction.
   From 0:26 to 0:28, use a close shot looking across the basket rim. As Riko continues holding the near side of the sandwich, two different darker-gray raccoon paws slowly become visible gripping the far side. Riko stops pulling. Moku then slowly raises his head and upper body from the deep interior while still holding the sandwich. Reveal Moku clearly for the first time. Moku is smaller and darker than Riko, has no forehead tuft, narrower amber eyes and a visibly different symmetrical face mask. Riko remains outside the basket. Moku remains inside the basket. They are two separate raccoons with two separate bodies. Never merge them. Never replace Riko with Moku. Never duplicate Riko.
   From 0:28 to 0:30, hold a clear two-character composition. Riko and Moku stare silently at one another for a brief awkward beat while both still touch the sandwich. Moku calmly pulls the sandwich back toward his own chest. Riko voluntarily releases his grip. Moku takes one slow satisfied bite while maintaining eye contact with Riko. Riko’s expression changes from shock to embarrassed disbelief. Riko then places one front paw on the near edge of the still-open basket lid. He slowly lowers the lid downward around the same fixed hinge. Moku remains safely below the rim with the sandwich. The lid gradually hides Moku from view. End just before or as the lid gently closes with one soft wicker THUMP. Cut to black.
   Maintain strict Riko consistency throughout the entire video. Riko always has the same face, amber-brown eyes, charcoal facial mask, cream muzzle and chest, silver-gray fur, forehead tuft, body proportions, paw shapes and exact tail-ring pattern. He has exactly one head, two ears, two front paws, two hind paws and one fluffy ringed tail. Never create additional limbs, human hands, detached tails, duplicate Rikos, ghost bodies or motion-trail copies.
   Maintain strict Moku consistency during the final reveal. Moku is one separate second raccoon with darker fur, no forehead tuft, narrower amber eyes, a symmetrical charcoal facial mask and a slightly shorter tail. Moku exists only inside the basket. He never appears outside the basket. Riko never enters the basket.
   Maintain strict picnic-table geography. The tree, table, benches, table legs, plate, spoon, thermos and basket remain in the same positions throughout the video. The table never rotates or changes construction between shots. The benches stay permanently attached. Riko approaches from the tree side, passes beneath the same near bench, climbs the same table leg and reaches the same tabletop. Do not mirror the environment between shots.
   Maintain strict prop continuity. There is exactly one basket, one hinged lid, one sandwich, one plate, one spoon and one thermos. The basket never moves from its place on the tabletop. The lid remains attached to the same hinge for the entire video. The plate never moves. The thermos never moves. The spoon moves only during the single CLINK gag and then remains still. The sandwich moves only when Riko, Moku or both raccoons are visibly holding it.
   Do not allow the sandwich to slide deeper into the basket on its own. Do not allow Moku to appear before his reveal. Do not allow the basket lid to open or close without Riko physically moving it. Do not allow the basket to tip while Riko pulls the sandwich. Do not allow any food, plates or props to duplicate or disappear.
   Prioritize clear readable physical actions over flashy camera movement. Use wider shots whenever the climbing route or tabletop geography needs to be understood. During the final reveal, keep both Riko and Moku visible simultaneously so the audience clearly understands that there are two separate raccoons. Do not use a transformation cut. Do not cut from Riko to Moku in a way that could imply Riko transformed into the second raccoon.
   Use playful cinematic heist-style orchestral music with light plucked strings and soft percussion. Begin with quiet suspense as Riko watches the basket. Increase the rhythm slightly during his low sprint and climb. Reduce the music during his careful tabletop approach. Use one clear metallic CLINK when the spoon lightly touches the ceramic plate, followed by an immediate brief musical stop and near silence while Riko freezes. Resume the quiet heist rhythm when he continues. Add soft wicker creaks while Riko opens the basket lid. Reduce the music again when the sandwich unexpectedly stops moving. Use one small suspense cue as Moku’s paws appear. At the full Moku reveal, use one tiny surprised orchestral note rather than a loud sting. Let the final awkward stare play almost silently. Add soft sandwich bite audio, then one gentle wicker THUMP as Riko closes the lid. Cut to black.
