Art style: Lo-Fi Anime. The wide open door of a suburban garage revealing a dark interior completely filled with thick, billowing black smoke. Two older suburban neighbors stand on the bright concrete sidewalk outside, arms firmly crossed, smirking and shaking their heads in harsh judgment. Medium wide shot from the street looking directly into the dark garage. Harsh, flat midday sunlight contrasts severely with the murky, impenetrable shadows of the garage interior. The atmosphere is tense, awkward, and heavily humiliating. Washed-out suburban greens and harsh concrete grays contrast sharply with the dark charcoal smoke. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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: 16-bit pixel-art blended with modern webtoon comic illustration in a retro 90s anime aesthetic — crisp thick black outlines, cel-shaded coloring with flat colors and hard dramatic shadows. Gritty urban lo-fi hip-hop vibe. Moody atmospheric lighting with vibrant neon accents (purple, magenta, red) on dark backgrounds. Subtle CRT scanline overlay, glowing elements, expressive sharp anime-influenced features, streetwear clothing. Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Arthur: A fifty-year-old working-class man with a deeply weathered, expressive face, prominent laugh lines, and a thick, messy salt-and-pepper beard. He has intense, warm brown eyes that convey quiet strength and immense resourcefulness. His build is sturdy and broad-shouldered from decades of heavy manual labor. He wears a faded, red-and-black plaid flannel shirt with rolled-up sleeves, revealing calloused, scarred forearms, topped with a worn-out, high-visibility orange safety vest covered in dark grease stains. His messy hair is slightly visible under a dark, sweat-stained baseball cap. The background is a dusty, cluttered workshop with metal tools hanging on a pegboard. The lighting is warm, harsh, and dramatic.
