ANALYZE THE REFERENCE
Compare clear views. Record the face shape and the features that make your fictional subject distinctive.
MALQFACE VAULTMALQ LEARN / FIELD GUIDE 01
A repeatable system for recreating facial structure inside character editors. Analyze the reference, choose a better base and make each edit answer a specific mismatch.
READRecognizability depends on the editor, references and your judgment. The method makes that judgment more deliberate: inspect, prioritize, test, compare and repeat.
Compare clear views. Record the face shape and the features that make your fictional subject distinctive.
Select a starting head whose underlying proportions require the fewest structural corrections.
Work through silhouette, proportions and feature placement before cosmetic finish.
Rank the largest mismatch, change one feature group and compare the next export at the same angle.
Use front, three-quarter and profile views to catch differences one view can hide.
Use focused prompts to describe visible differences and suggest the next one to three tests. Verify each suggestion yourself.
THE REASONING, NOT A SLIDER RECIPE
Ari is fictional. The guide compares his frontal reference with three original base-head schematics, selects the closest structure and works through two conceptual edit passes. No game interface or invented capture is presented.

Compare the upper-face width, cheek span, compact chin and eye line. Those relationships guide the choice of a base head.
Choose the base with the lowest correction cost in its major proportions.
Preserve the cheek-led silhouette, test upper-face width and eye-line placement, then review the lower third. The diagram passes show the reasoning direction and are not editor screenshots.
Reference analysis, base selection, structural hierarchy, controlled iteration, three-angle review and the fictional Ari case study.
Record target features, compare base candidates, rank mismatches, log edits and evaluate the result at matching views.
A readable PDF and copyable TXT prompt pack for proportion analysis, mismatch ranking and the next one to three edits.

Use the system in the character editor you choose. Results depend on the available base heads, controls, references and iteration.
