Art style: Lo-Fi Anime. A tight close-up shot of Alexei's face in a frozen trench, his eyelashes dusted with white frost and his breath visible as a thick mist in the air. His eyes are wide, glassy, and fixed on a crumpled piece of paper held in his trembling, dirt-stained hands. The lighting is a cold, ethereal blue from a winter moon, casting deep shadows in his hollow cheeks. The palette is dominated by icy blues, slate greys, and stark whites. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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): - Alexei: A young man in his early twenties with sharp, gaunt cheekbones and deep-set, intense hazel eyes that reflect a mix of fear and resolve. His skin is weathered, smeared with soot and dried mud, and his short, dark hair is messy and matted. He has a thin, straight nose and a firm, set jaw. The lighting is harsh and directional, highlighting the texture of his skin against a backdrop of distant, hazy smoke and charred timbers. He carries an expression of weary vigilance.
