Art style: Dark Cartoon. A tight close-up of a crumpled white paper receipt resting on a dark, beer-stained oak table. The black ink clearly shows the total '£14.20' for two drinks. Dave’s rough, calloused hand is partially visible in the frame, holding the edge of the receipt. The lighting is harsh and direct from an overhead lamp, casting a stark shadow across the wood. The mood is one of immediate shock and frustration, with deep mahogany and stark white tones. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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 late 50s with a weather-beaten face, deep-set weary eyes, and short-cropped grey hair. He wears a faded navy blue Harrington jacket over a checked flannel shirt. His expression is one of quiet resignation. He sits in a traditional British pub with dark wood textures and amber lighting. The style is characterized by high-contrast shadows and a gritty, realistic atmosphere with a focus on facial textures and micro-expressions.
