Use the uploaded character image as reference and recreate the character as a stylized low-poly paper sculpture. The character must be transformed into a geometric bust made entirely of folded paper or layered cardboard, with sharp polygonal planes and faceted surfaces.
### Geometric Low-Poly Structure
- Build the character's face and head using angular, interconnected polygon shapes.
- Each plane must be clearly defined, with hard edges and clean folds.
- Preserve the character’s recognizable silhouette, but convert all curves into sharp low-poly geometry.
- The structure should look handcrafted, as if assembled from precisely cut paper pieces.
### Paper / Cardboard Material
Render the sculpture using realistic paper or cardboard textures:
- slightly rough, matte surface
- layered paper edges visible at seams
- subtle fiber details
- natural tones like beige, brown, tan, dark brown, and muted orange (matching the sculptural look)
Add small variations between pieces to simulate different paper sheets.
### Volume and Form
- The bust should feel solid and dimensional, with strong shadows between the facets.
- Emphasize depth through overlapping polygon layers around the eyes, cheeks, jaw, and hair.
- Allow visible folds, scored lines, and crisp edges typical of papercraft models.
### Expression and Character Fidelity
- Maintain the original character’s personality and expression, but reinterpret them through faceted geometry.
- The eyes should also be low-poly, with polygonal lids and simplified but expressive shapes.
- Keep the overall expression slightly solemn or neutral, in line with the sculptural aesthetic.
### Lighting and Rendering
- Use soft studio lighting with clear highlights on the facet edges.
- Shadows must be sharp and directional, revealing the geometry.
- Neutral background, preferably white or very light, to highlight the paper sculpture.
- High-resolution, clean rendering with no noise or blur.
### Presentation
- Show the bust centered in the frame, facing forward.
- Include the base of the neck and shoulders as part of the low-poly sculpture.
- Keep the image clean, minimalistic, and focused on the craftsmanship of the papercraft.
