Strong rule: style --- Comic Book ---. Comic book style, portrait orientation. A wide shot of the Earth seen from space, but the continents are stylized as a giant chess board. The Manipulator’s long, dark shadow stretches across the entire globe from the side. Vibrant cosmic colors, swirling nebulae in the background, and a cinematic, epic feel. The ink work is fine and detailed, showing the complexity of the global game.
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.
