Art style: Premium motion-comic illustration, grounded illustrated realism, realistic adult facial proportions, bold ink outlines, strong cinematic shadows, subtle halftone texture, hand-inked look, not anime, not cartoon, not 3D, not painterly. Young American AI founder, 25–28, a candidate applying to a frontier venture studio. Fast, sharp, restless and ambitious — thinks in prototypes. His strength is speed; he can generate faster than he can keep things coherent. Sharp focused face, dark hair slightly messy but styled, natural adult facial proportions. Stylish dark technical half-zip pullover with a one-third front zipper and a subtle custom merch detail, clean techwear silhouette. Small rented night-time AI lab: an open unbranded laptop, a compact glowing server box, AR glasses on the desk, rough paper sketches — personal builder atmosphere, not luxury, not a gamer room. Every screen glows softly but is completely blank: no text, no letters, no numbers, no UI. Low-key night lighting, cool blue screen light on his face, a warm amber accent glow from one side, deep shadows. Flat palette of dark navy and graphite with muted blue and a warm amber accent. Vertical 9:16 portrait. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Premium motion-comic illustration, grounded illustrated realism, realistic adult facial proportions, bold ink outlines, strong cinematic shadows, subtle halftone texture, hand-inked look, not anime, not cartoon, not 3D, not painterly" style.
