Strong rule: style --- Ghibli-inspired 2D animation, warm cinematic lighting, cozy mountain cabin interior, lush forest exterior, soft textures, 4K. ---. A tight, eye-level close-up of a sharp, steel chef's knife slicing cleanly through bright orange carrots on a thick, heavy, well-worn wooden butcher block. The chopped carrot coins are neatly piled to the side. Warm, directional kitchen light highlights the glossy texture of the freshly washed vegetables and the metallic gleam of the blade. The mood is deliberate, focused, and unhurried, featuring vibrant orange, cool steel grays, and deep wood tones.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Elias: A gentle young man in his early 30s with a slim build, tousled wavy brown hair, and kind, expressive hazel eyes. He wears a cozy, oversized forest-green cable-knit sweater and soft corduroy trousers. His overall vibe is deeply calm, introspective, and nurturing, radiating a quiet warmth. The lighting is soft and cinematic, with warm amber sunlight filtering through a rustic cabin window, highlighting the dust motes in the air. The background features a cozy, cluttered mountain cabin interior with wooden beams and trailing plants. The artistic style is a rich, high-fidelity 2D animation inspired by Studio Ghibli, featuring muted, earthy tones, soft painterly textures, and a nostalgic, peaceful atmosphere.
