   Step 1

   The character reference

   Full-body character reference of an original character: a dignified adult frog butler standing upright on two legs, photoreal glossy emerald-green skin with tiny gold speckles, large amber eyes with horizontal pupils, a wide deadpan mouth, a single gold-rimmed monocle over his right eye, a crisp black tailcoat with long tails, a mustard-yellow waistcoat, a white wing-collar shirt, a black bow tie, white gloves on his four-fingered hands, black patent shoes. He stands beside a gleaming silver hotel serving cart with a domed silver cloche on top and a polished chrome rocket engine mounted on the back. Plain neutral grey studio background, soft even light, sharp detail, cinematic photoreal. Exactly one frog with two arms and two legs. Original character, no logos, no text.

   Low wide angle from the cobblestones: the frog butler stands upright on the back of the rocket-powered silver serving cart as it blasts straight toward camera, a long blue-orange flame jet from the chrome rocket, his tailcoat tails whipping behind him, plain foil-wrapped candies flying off the cart, sparks and puddle spray. Same frog butler as the reference image: same face, gold monocle, black tailcoat, mustard waistcoat, white gloves; same silver serving cart with the chrome rocket engine. Halloween night on a wide wet cobblestone harbor promenade lined with hundreds of glowing carved jack-o'-lanterns, drifting fog, moonlit harbor water, warm lamplight, cinematic photoreal, 35mm film look, glossy reflections. Exactly one frog with two arms and two legs. No people, no signs, no text, no logos.

   The frog butler in the image (same face, monocle and outfit) surfs upright on the rocket-powered silver serving cart as it rockets toward and past the camera down the wet pumpkin-lined promenade, the rocket flame roaring, foil-wrapped candies flying off, his tailcoat whipping, puddle spray and sparks, fog swirling, jack-o'-lanterns flickering, harbor water rippling. Fast, kinetic, low tracking camera. Exactly one frog with two arms and two legs. Sound effects only: rocket roar, wheels rattling on cobblestones, splashes. No music, no speech.
