Art style: Claymation. An interior shot of the Chum Bucket laboratory, filled with glowing green monitors and complex machinery. Plankton stands on a metal platform, wearing oversized headphones and holding a recording device. A holographic display shows a jagged red sound wave. The lighting is moody and dark, dominated by neon green and deep shadows. The atmosphere is tense and villainous. Plankton has a wicked smile, his single eye narrowed in triumph. The camera is at a high angle, making the tiny villain look powerful amidst his technology. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image in the following art style: high-end 3D cinematic claymation / stop-motion — hyper-stylized cartoon proportions with sharp geometric heads, huge bulging matte-white eyes with tiny sculpted pupils, sculpted hand-painted hair. Skin and hair show a tactile polymer-clay texture with subtle surface imperfections, slight bumps, soft matte finish — looking exactly like a physical hand-sculpted clay model. Clothing and accessories rendered hyper-realistically (glossy nylon, ribbed knit, leather, metal). Cinematic warm ambient practical-source lighting. 8k Octane render quality. Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Plankton: A very small, dark green copepod with a single, large yellow eye and two long, thin antennae. He is wearing bulky, high-tech black headphones and is surrounded by glowing digital equipment. He has a sinister, calculating smirk on his face as he looks at a glowing holographic display showing sound wave frequencies. The setting is a dark, metallic laboratory filled with blinking red and green lights. The atmosphere is moody and secretive, with sharp highlights reflecting off his smooth, exoskeleton-like skin and the glass of his monitors.
