Character sheet prompt: “Create a premium cinematic character bible sheet for JOHN WICK. Use uploaded character sheet as strict visual reference. Do not change his appearance. LAYOUT: Single character centered format. John filling most of the sheet, centered and dominant. Bold deep red watercolor splash behind John — large and dramatic but controlled, radiating outward from behind him naturally, not filling every corner. Large bold brushstroke text JOHN WICK top left in deep red. Below small text: RETIRED ASSASSIN / NEW YORK. One massive dramatic cropped hero image of John centered from mid-thigh up — intense brooding expression, damaged black suit, dishevelled white shirt, loosened black tie, blood on face, gun raised directly forward toward the viewer, bold red watercolor splash behind him. BOTTOM CENTER: Bold dramatic JOHN WICK in deep black, slightly worn. Below it small text: NEW YORK. ONE NIGHT. UNLIMITED ENEMIES. Tagline centered below: YEAH I'M THINKING I'M BACK. OVERALL: Clean white background, bold controlled deep red watercolor splash centered behind John, John centered and dominant taking up most of the sheet, bold flat color blocking, chunky simplified forms, hard edge shadows, thick black outlines, vibrant saturated colors, minimal clean typography, cinematic cel-shaded 3D anime, hand-painted textures, not cartoon not Disney not Pixar, print ready."

John levels his pistol at the viewer, fires with a massive muzzle flash, handles the recoil with a slide-rack, and resets his cold stare.
- Row 1: John stands in a low-profile stance, gun leveled directly at the camera, chest rising slightly with a slow breath.
- Row 2: The gun erupts with a bright orange muzzle flash; John’s shoulders jolt back and his hair whips from the percussion.
- Row 3: He snaps the gun upward to clear the chamber, a single brass shell casing ejecting to the right as he pulls the slide back.
- Row 4: The gun snaps back down to center-aim, John narrows his eyes and exhales, settling back into his steady starting pose.
