Use the attached images as the strict style and character reference: the clean standing figure defines his face, proportions and line style, the ragged figure defines his mood and grime. This is the same character. KEEP EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE REFERENCE The same face structure, the same eye shape and size, the same nose, the same hairstyle and hair colour #241B33, the same skin tone #F0C094 with #D19A6E hard-edged shading on the lower-right of every form. The same line style: uniform ink #241B33 outline of the same weight, flat fills, one darker shade on the lower-right and one lighter tint on the upper-left of each colour, one small white highlight per form. No gradients, no blur, no texture. The same camera: straight front view, orthographic, no perspective, no tilt, character facing the viewer dead-on. The same framing: tall portrait canvas, fully transparent background, character centred horizontally, total height from the top of his hair to the soles of his feet identical to the reference, feet resting on the same baseline at the same height in the frame. The same head size and the same head position in the frame. WHAT CHANGES Body: he is no longer starving. Arms, legs and chest return to the normal slim build of the clean reference figure — lean and lanky, but filled out. No ribs, no collarbone lines, no sunken stomach. Clothing: shabby, filthy, badly torn clothes, clearly scavenged and several sizes off. A faded grey #B9B3C4 short-sleeve shirt with a frayed uneven hem, two or three ragged holes, and one sleeve torn shorter than the other. Baggy muted brown #8A7263 trousers, too short for his long legs, with a torn knee, a frayed hem and one crooked patch of a different dull shade stitched on the thigh. On his feet, two mismatched battered shoes with split toes, one grey #B9B3C4 and one brown #8A7263. Every tear drawn as a simple angular notch in the silhouette, not as fine fabric detail. Condition: still visibly homeless. Small irregular grey-brown dirt smudges on his forearms, shins, clothes and one cheek. Messy uneven hair sticking out in a few directions, dull and unwashed. Mood: unchanged — hungry and deeply sad. Eyebrows angled up towards the middle in a pleading arch, upper eyelids drawn as flat lines lowering the eyes, dark #D19A6E shadow patches under both eyes, a small downturned mouth. Not crying, not comical, just quietly miserable. Shoulders sagging slightly, head tilted down by no more than a few degrees. Pose: legs and feet stay exactly as in the reference, straight and together on the same baseline. Both arms bend forward and hold the same cardboard sign in front of his stomach, at waist height, mitten hands gripping its lower corners. THE SIGN A rectangular piece of scrappy brown cardboard, wider than it is tall, held flat and facing the viewer. Slightly uneven hand-torn edges, one soft crease across it, a muted cardboard brown with a #241B33 outline of the same weight as everything else and one darker brown shade along its lower-right. On the cardboard: three or four rows of dark wobbly handwriting-like scribbles — continuous uneven squiggly lines that only imitate handwriting. They must not form any real letters, words, numbers or symbols in any alphabet. Uneven row lengths, the last row shorter than the others. The sign must not cover his face and must not extend past the left and right edges of the canvas. NOT Not photorealistic, not a 3D render, not sketchy, no pencil or marker strokes, no watercolour, no pixel art, no three-quarter or isometric view, no anime style, no chibi proportions. No background, no ground, no shadow on the floor. No readable text anywhere in the image.
