Exaggerated character features, intense expressions, deep wrinkles, highly defined musculature. High contrast lighting. Desaturated grim background colors (grays, browns) with stark contrasting pop-color elements. Satirical and edgy atmosphere, masterpiece comic art. Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Sarah: A woman in her mid-30s with a tired, pale complexion and dark circles under her expressive brown eyes. She has shoulder-length, wavy chestnut hair that is slightly messy. She wears a soft, oversized cream-colored knit sweater. Her posture is slightly slumped, conveying a sense of emotional weight. She is captured in soft, natural morning light within a minimalist apartment setting.
