FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Vintage Storybook" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Vintage Storybook". 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 "Vintage Storybook" idiom, not in any other medium.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Nick Leeson: Nick Leeson is depicted as a slim young man in his late twenties with sharp facial features, short neatly combed brown hair, piercing blue eyes, and a slight ambitious smirk. He wears a crisp white shirt with rolled sleeves, dark tie, and formal trousers. His vibe conveys clever risk-taking energy in finance. Vintage Storybook illustration style with soft watercolor textures, warm sepia tones, detailed line work, set in 1990s office surroundings with ledgers.
