Art style: Anime. Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright and centered — Engineer Markov, a freed rocket engineer in his late fifties, lean and slightly stooped from captivity. Gaunt oval face, pale weathered skin, deep worry lines, grey-flecked short beard and thinning swept-back grey hair. Tired, intelligent hazel eyes behind thin wire-rimmed glasses, one lens faintly cracked. He wears a rumpled oil-stained grey work coverall over a faded olive undershirt, rope-frayed cuffs, a dog-eared engineer's ID lanyard, and scuffed worn leather work boots. One wrist bears a chafe mark from recent bindings. He clutches a rolled blueprint and a small notebook to his chest, shoulders tense, expression wary yet resolved as if about to reveal a secret. Setting: a dim concrete bunker corridor with exposed pipes, flickering wall lamps and a steel blast door behind him. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image in the following art style: 2D anime cartoon animation — cel-shaded illustration, bold clean black outlines, flat anime shading, hand-drawn anime look with anime facial features and stylised non-realistic rendering of objects, food and environments. NOT photorealistic, NOT live-action, NOT a 3D render, NOT real footage. Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
