Art style: Tim Burton-inspired.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright and centered at the rusted iron gates of an abandoned amusement park at night. Max is a determined, brave young man of about eighteen, lean and wiry with a tall, slightly angular build. He has a narrow pale face, high cheekbones, sharp dark eyes with faint shadows beneath, and messy jet-black hair swept across his forehead. He wears a fitted dark charcoal jacket with a high collar over a thin grey striped shirt, slim black trousers, and scuffed worn lace-up boots. A small flashlight is clipped to his belt, its beam cutting the fog. His stance is confident, weight forward, chin lifted, one hand pushing the creaking gate open. Broken carousel horses, a crooked Ferris wheel, twisted bare trees and thin drifting mist surround him.
