Nine-Panel White-Haired Samurai Pose Sheet

Goal: Create a square 3x3 anime pose reference sheet featuring {argument name="character name" default="a one-eyed white-haired samurai"} in an elegant historical Japanese setting. Canvas: Square 1:1 composition, divided into exactly 9 equal manga-style panels with thin dark borders and narrow gutters. Each panel should feel like a finished illustration but belong to one cohesive character sheet. Character details: The same adult male character appears in all 9 panels: very long messy flowing {argument name="hair color" default="white"} hair with many thin strands, pale skin, sharp calm face, red-tinted visible eye, black eyepatch over one eye, composed aloof expression, slim elegant build. He wears a layered dark navy-blue kimono and haori with ornate pale gold wave and floral patterns, white inner robe, black collar, and a belted waist carrying a katana with decorative tassels. Use a refined bishonen samurai aesthetic. Panel layout: Include exactly 9 distinct poses: 1) upper-body portrait with arms crossed, looking down confidently; 2) three-quarter back view turning over his shoulder beneath cherry blossoms; 3) close-up face portrait while one hand touches or adjusts the eyepatch; 4) half-body portrait holding an open folding fan with blue floral decoration; 5) cropped torso and hand gripping the katana hilt at the waist; 6) relaxed seated pose leaning on an armrest or railing with one hand near the chin; 7) dramatic low-angle bust shot under a large full moon with birds in the sky; 8) close-up portrait with one hand raised through his hair, faint knowing smile; 9) full-body standing pose among falling petals, kimono sleeves and hair flowing, katana at his side. Background and setting: Traditional Japanese architecture with wooden screens, temple rooflines, stylized clouds, pine silhouettes, moonlit sky in one panel, and abundant blooming cherry blossoms. Pink-white petals drift across multiple panels, unifying the sheet. Visual style: Highly detailed modern anime and manga illustration, crisp ink linework, subtle screentone shading, ukiyo-e inspired blue-and-cream palette, intricate textile patterns, elegant ornamental composition, dramatic hair movement, clean professional character-reference-sheet finish. Color palette: Dominant {argument name="robe color" default="deep navy blue"}, ivory white, muted cream, pale gold, soft cherry-blossom pink, black line art, and desaturated sky blue. Constraints: No captions, no speech bubbles, no extra characters, no watermark, no logo. Keep the same character design consistent across all 9 panels, with the eyepatch always on the same eye and the kimono pattern consistent.
