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): - Julian Vane: A man in his late 40s with sharp, sculpted facial features, a strong jawline, and piercing slate-blue eyes that convey intense focus. His hair is a sophisticated salt-and-pepper, styled in a precise, short back-and-sides. He possesses a lean, athletic build and carries himself with an air of effortless authority. He is dressed in a bespoke, dark charcoal three-piece suit made of fine wool, with a crisp white shirt and a silk tie. The lighting is dramatic, highlighting the contours of his face against the backdrop of a sleek, high-end executive lounge with leather and dark wood accents.
