Art style: Lo-Fi Anime. Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright and centered — Mateo, a 20-year-old Hispanic engineering student with warm light-brown skin, an oval face, dark brown eyes and softly tousled dark-brown hair swept over the forehead, a lean athletic build of average height. He wears a fitted charcoal-grey hoodie under a dark olive utility jacket, slim dark jeans, and worn white-and-grey low-top sneakers. A large green tactical backpack sits on his shoulders, and black over-ear headphones rest around his neck. He holds an open silver laptop in his left hand showing lines of code, and gazes at a smartphone in his right hand filled with colorful science apps. His expression is intensely curious, eyes bright with fascination, looking upward at modern glass campus buildings. He stands on a cobblestone campus path bathed in warm golden sunset light. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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.
