Art style: Realistic cinematic live-action. A close-up shot of Elias sitting by a large open window in a small, lived-in New York City bedroom. The room is filled with soft, natural daylight filtering through the window, casting gentle shadows across the space. In the background, the blurred silhouettes of classic NYC brownstone buildings with their iconic red brick facades and fire escapes are visible. The interior of the room features a cluttered desk with a lamp, a stack of books, and a simple bed with rumpled sheets. The walls are a muted off-white, showing slight wear and texture. Elias is framed centrally, looking directly into the lens with a focused and slightly weary expression. The lighting is soft and directional, coming from the side window, creating a subtle rim light on his hair and the edge of his bomber jacket. The colors are grounded and realistic, with deep reds in his hoodie and rich blacks in his jacket. The texture of the brickwork outside and the fabric of his clothing are highly detailed, showing fine weaves and subtle pilling on the hoodie. The overall mood is intimate and cinematic, reminiscent of a quiet moment in an indie film before an action sequence begins. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Realistic cinematic live-action" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Realistic cinematic live-action". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Realistic cinematic live-action" idiom, not in any other medium. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Elias: A man in his late 20s with a medium skin tone, thick black wavy hair, and a full, neatly trimmed beard and mustache. He wears black rectangular glasses and has an athletic build. His outfit consists of a black bomber jacket worn over a bright red hoodie and a black t-shirt. He wears black cargo shorts over black compression leggings, finished with red-and-white high-top sneakers. The lighting is natural and moody, highlighting the textures of his rugged streetwear and the sharp lines of his glasses.
