Strong rule: style --- Comic Book ---. Comic book style, portrait orientation. A montage of dozens of television screens and loudspeakers, all broadcasting the face of The Manipulator. Jagged, sharp-edged speech bubbles with aggressive red text fill the gaps between the screens. The color scheme is dominated by aggressive reds and blacks. The composition is claustrophobic and overwhelming, with ink splatters for texture.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- The Manipulator: Comic book style. A man in his mid-40s with a sharp jawline, slicked-back black hair with silver temples, and intense, piercing blue eyes. He wears a high-collared dark charcoal suit with a blood-red tie. His expression is one of calm, cold confidence with a slight, predatory smirk. The lighting is dramatic chiaroscuro, casting half his face in deep shadow. He stands in a dimly lit, high-tech war room. High contrast, bold ink lines, vibrant but moody colors, and halftone dot textures in the shadows.
