#### Head / Hair

* Consistent `front`, `quarter` and `side` shots
* Best if features like eyes, nose, mouth, ears, etc. line up between refs
* If the hair or neck has important details you might need a `back` ref as well
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Body / Outfit

* Consistent `front` and `side` shots
* If the back of the outfit has important details, include a `back` ref as well
* Close-ups of any important details like logos, styles, belt buckles, earrings, etc.
  {% endstep %}

#### Emotes

We try to give all characters flare and uniqueness when emoting. If you have refs of your character (or a similar character) making facial expressions that fit the vibe you're going for, that helps. Notes on the general persona of the character are helpful too.
