On the sun-bleached wooden deck of a sailing ship, a character crouches low, staring intensely toward the edge of the frame. Low-angle medium shot looking up. Harsh, direct midday sunlight creates high contrast and sharp, dark shadows. The mood is desperate yet darkly comedic. The background shows tattered white sails and a vast, empty turquoise ocean. Stylized 3D animation style.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Barnaby: A middle-aged man with a gaunt, angular face and pale, weathered skin marked by deep wrinkles and a small scar on his cheek. He has messy, dark brown hair tucked under a dark blue knit beanie. His wide, bulging light green eyes are bloodshot and set beneath heavy, furrowed brows. He has a lean, sinewy build and wears a tattered dark green shirt. His expression is manic and menacing, featuring a broad, sinister grin that reveals several missing front teeth. He is posed in a close-up, holding a rusty, serrated hunting knife with a dark handle near his chest, his gaze fixed intensely forward.
