Character Theatrical Exaggeration Style

A high-resolution vertical Pixar-style 3D character illustration.

Main character:  
Salvador Dalí —
depicted as a tall,
slim,
and slightly exaggerated Pixar-style 3D character.

Wearing a classic blue
shirt,
yellow tie,
high-waisted plaid trousers with suspenders,
and leather shoes.

His iconic long
upturned mustache,
slick black hair,
sharply arched eyebrows,
and slightly eccentric
posture.

Stands with chest out,
one hand on hip,
head tilted slightly back in his typical
theatrical flair.

Background:  
Flat,
clean yellow background with subtle surface texture.

Strong
sunlight from top-left casts a distinct and enlarged shadow on the wall behind him.

Key Concept –
Shadow as spiritual projection:  
The shadow cast behind him does **not** mirror his body
shape.

Instead,
it takes the form of one of his most iconic artworks —  
a surreal melted clock
with long dripping arms,
inspired by “The Persistence of Memory”.

The melted clock shadow is
positioned diagonally,
starting from his shoulder,
stretching wide and low across the yellow
wall,
surreal and fluid,
yet unmistakably symbolic.

This shadow is **Dalí’s legacy made visible** —
a symbolic extension of his identity through time,
dream,
and visual distortion.

Lighting &
Rendering:  
Pixar-like rendering with detailed but stylized textures.

Use subtle filmic
grain,
soft shadows,
and warm color grading.

Subtle sparkles or light speckles inside the shadow to
evoke dreamlike texture.

Typography (top-left corner):  
“Salvador Dalí” in minimalist black
sans-serif font, “Dalí” bolded.
