Art style: Dark Comic. A medium shot of Elias leaning over the book, his face illuminated by the harsh, flickering candlelight. His eyes are wide with disbelief, and his brow is deeply furrowed. The background is a soft blur of out-of-focus book spines and dark wood. The lighting is high-contrast chiaroscuro. A tense palette of teal shadows and warm gold highlights. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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: dark graphic-novel illustration — gritty comic book art style, heavy black inking, bold outlines, detailed cross-hatching and dramatic shading. Exaggerated character features, intense expressions, deep wrinkles, highly defined musculature. High contrast lighting. Desaturated grim background colors (grays, browns) with stark contrasting pop-color elements. Satirical and edgy atmosphere, masterpiece comic art. Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Elias: A man in his late 40s with sharp, intellectual features and deep-set, anxious hazel eyes. He has messy salt-and-pepper hair tucked behind his ears and wears a weathered brown tweed vest over a wrinkled white button-down shirt. Small, round wire-rimmed spectacles sit low on his nose. His expression is one of intense focus and dawning realization. He stands in a dark, atmospheric setting with soft light highlighting the textures of his skin and the fabric of his clothing. His overall energy is restless and scholarly.
