EDIT THE PROVIDED IMAGE. Preserve the ship EXACTLY as it is — do not change its shape, hull, funnel, masts, position, tilt angle, smoke, or the visible name plate "ЧЕЛЮСКИН". Preserve the entire scene: the ice field, the tents, the crates, the sled, the stove, the radio operator, and all other characters EXACTLY as they are. NO flags anywhere. NO text, NO watermarks, NO logos. THE ONLY CHANGE: Otto Yulievich Schmidt's pose. He is NOT pointing, NOT raising his hand, NOT giving any command gesture. NEW POSE: He stands quietly and still on the snow, both arms hanging down at his sides, hands slightly tucked into the pockets of his heavy dark winter coat. His shoulders are slightly slumped with the weight of the moment. He is looking down or staring into the distance with a quiet, sorrowful, melancholic expression. He looks exhausted, burdened, and sad — a leader who has just lost his ship and is now responsible for 104 people on the ice. No dramatic gestures, no theatricality. Just quiet grief and quiet strength. KEEP HIS APPEARANCE IDENTICAL: round open face, high broad forehead, receding hairline with dark hair on the sides, thick neatly trimmed dark mustache, deep-set intelligent eyes, strong jaw. Wearing the same heavy dark Soviet winter coat with fur collar, fur hat (ushanka), and high boots. STYLE: 2D hand-drawn animated art style of the 2019 film "Klaus" — painterly illustrated backgrounds, volumetric cinematic lighting on 2D shapes, soft warm color palette, hand-painted texture, gentle edges, storybook quality. Do NOT copy actual Klaus characters — original historical figures drawn in this aesthetic. Warm golden sunset light, soft blue shadows, atmospheric haze. Strictly 9:16 vertical framing.
