Art style: Comic book. A medium shot of Vince leaning forward in his chair with a conspiratorial and friendly expression. He is holding a small, worn leather pocket notebook in one hand and a short, chewed-on pencil stub in the other. He is in the middle of sketching a simple diagram on the creamy, lined paper of the notebook. The library background is warm and inviting, with the brass lamp casting a soft glow over his shoulder. The composition is focused on Vince and his notebook, creating an intimate, 'mentor-like' atmosphere. On the notebook page, a hand-drawn pie chart is visible. A large section is colored in with a green pencil and labeled 'BORING FUNDS (95%)', while a tiny sliver is colored red and labeled 'FUN MONEY (5%)'. Above the chart, the words 'MAX 5%' are written in shaky but clear capital letters and underlined twice. The textures of the leather notebook, the graphite of the pencil, and the wool of Vince's waistcoat are all highly detailed. The color palette is dominated by the green of the chart, the warm browns of the library, and the soft cream of the paper. The mood is practical, helpful, and grounded in long-term wisdom. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Comic book" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Comic book". 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 "Comic book" idiom, not in any other medium. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Vince: Strong rule: style --- Comic book ---. Strong rule: style --- Comic book ---. An elderly Caucasian man, approximately 74 years old, with distinguished short grey hair and a well-trimmed grey beard. He wears thin, delicate metal-frame glasses resting on the tip of his nose. His attire consists of a classic brown herringbone tweed blazer with dark suede elbow patches, a dark green wool waistcoat, a crisp white shirt, and a dark red bowtie. A polished gold signet ring is visible on his right pinky finger. He has a wise, weathered face with a permanent ironical squint and an air of retired professional confidence. He is seated in a library filled with leather books.
