Art style: Dark Cartoon. A medium shot of Dave sitting across the table, his hands clasped together. He has a patient, weary expression, the look of a man explaining basic concepts to a child. The background shows the warm, blurred activity of the restaurant kitchen. Soft, naturalistic lighting from the side emphasizes the fatigue in his face. The palette is dominated by calm navy and soft orange hues. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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): - 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.
