Strong rule: style --- Whimsical Ink and Watercolor Illustration ---. A medium shot of the professor sitting upright, rubbing a large red mark on his forehead. He is staring intensely at the red apple resting between his knees in the grass. His brow is furrowed in deep, unnecessary intellectual thought. The color palette is dominated by muted earth tones, with the bright red apple serving as the central focal point.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Professor Barnaby Ponder: Strong rule: style --- Whimsical Ink and Watercolor Illustration ---. A middle-aged man with messy, salt-and-pepper curly hair and thick, round glasses slipping down his nose. He wears a rumpled tweed jacket with leather elbow patches over a stained mustard-colored waistcoat. His expression is one of perpetual exhaustion and mild confusion, with a scruffy, unkempt beard. The setting is a sun-drenched university garden. The artistic style is cinematic and realistic, with high-detail textures on his skin and the wool of his jacket, captured in soft, warm afternoon light with a shallow depth of field.
