Strong rule: style --- Studio Ghibli aesthetic, warm golden hour lighting, soft hand-drawn textures, cozy autumn mountain cabin, vibrant fall colors, cinematic 4K ---. Extreme close-up on Alex's hands caked in rich earth and rough bark, fingers nimble selecting twigs. Filtered forest light highlights textures, subtle shadows defining contours. Macro shot with shallow depth, emphasizing tactile labor. Honest, grounded mood of nature's work. Deep browns, organic textures in ultra-detailed photorealism.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Alex: Mid-30s man with a rugged yet gentle vibe, short tousled chestnut hair with hints of early gray at temples, warm hazel eyes framed by subtle laugh lines, light stubble on a square jaw, athletic build from city hikes now softening into calm. Wears a thick woolen flannel shirt in earthy reds, faded denim pants tucked into sturdy leather boots, a knitted scarf loosely around neck. Hands calloused from recent chores, expression of quiet contentment. Standing in a cozy autumn cabin interior during golden hour, soft hand-drawn textures in Studio Ghibli style, warm ochre tones, flickering firelight casting gentle shadows, wooden beams and fall foliage visible through window, cinematic 4K with vibrant colors and misty forest background. Air of serene resilience and rediscovered joy.
