Art style: Dark Cartoon. A dimly lit, high-end London restaurant with dark oak panelling and plush velvet booths. A leather-bound bill folder sits on a white linen tablecloth next to half-empty wine glasses. The camera is at a low angle, focusing on the table. Warm amber light from small brass table lamps casts long, soft shadows. The atmosphere is quiet and sophisticated. Dominant colours are deep burgundy, mahogany, and warm cream. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Dark Cartoon" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Dark Cartoon". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Dark Cartoon" idiom, not in any other medium. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Nigel: A distinguished man in his late 60s with sharp, aquiline features and slicked-back silver hair. He wears a bespoke charcoal pinstripe wool suit, a high-collared white shirt with a silk cravat, and a gleaming gold monocle over his right eye. He exudes an aura of eccentric wealth and stern detachment. Set against a backdrop of a high-end, dimly lit London club with mahogany panels. The lighting is dramatic, highlighting the texture of his expensive suit and the glint of his monocle. Captured in the style of a classic oil portrait but with modern clarity. - Dave: A man in his mid-40s with a relatable, weary face and kind, slightly sunken eyes. He has short, salt-and-pepper hair and a neatly trimmed beard. He wears a simple, high-quality navy merino wool jumper over a collared shirt. He looks like a sensible professional who hasn't had enough sleep. The setting is a warm, bustling restaurant with soft bokeh lights in the background. The mood is grounded and slightly stressed. The lighting is soft and naturalistic, focusing on the expressive lines around his eyes and mouth.
