Strong rule: style --- Whimsical Ink and Watercolor Illustration ---. A medium shot of the professor gesturing grandly with the apple in his hand. He looks as though he is delivering a prestigious lecture to an invisible audience. His posture is slumped and relaxed, but his expression is one of absolute triumph. The background shows the peaceful garden bathed in the golden-hour light of late afternoon.
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.
