CONDUCTOR S08 FIRST. Image 1 is the character reference: keep this same man, same face, wavy ginger hair and beard, long-legged proportions, smooth mustard-yellow oversized coat, olive turtleneck, dark brown cropped trousers, chunky tan boots, paper coffee cup and slim tightly furled navy-blue umbrella with a wooden crook handle. Images 2 and 3 are style references only: copy their painting manner, simple flat gouache shapes, clean graphic silhouettes, very little detail, big calm areas of pale colour, soft washed background fading into mist. Do not copy any person, place or object from images 2 and 3. Image 4 is the cast sheet: use these exact supporting character designs whenever they appear. Scene: Low curb-level medium shot. The elegant bride from the cast sheet stands on the curb in her crisp white dress, gasping, as the front wheel of a speeding vintage car plunges into a big dark puddle right beside her. Next to her our hero presses the umbrella tip down on the edge of a large iron storm drain grate lying in the puddle, sipping coffee with half-closed eyes. Generic city, no landmarks, no crowd, dry matte pavement without reflections. No text, no logos, no watermark.
