YouTube thumbnail art, bold and readable at small size. Keep the characters' faces, hair and costumes exactly as on the reference character sheets, one single scene (not a sheet). Leave the left 45% of the frame calm and darker for a title (no text in the image). Close-up of João (from the reference sheet) on the right side of frame, turning back over his shoulder with a frightened, wide-eyed face, dust on his cheeks. Behind him, 18th-century Lisbon: white church towers with azulejo walls cracking and collapsing into thick golden dust, the river Tagus and ships in the distance, red sun through dust. No blood, no injured people. Hand-painted 2D animated feature film frame with volumetric 3D-style lighting: visible gouache and oil brush strokes on every surface, painterly textured backgrounds, slightly exaggerated angular architecture, muted palette of warm ochre, terracotta, soft olive and cool blue shadows, soft rim light. Stylized characters with simplified painterly shading, elongated proportions, long noses, small expressive eyes. Lisbon, 1755. Cinematic 16:9 composition, no text, no letters, no captions.
