Art style: Lo-Fi Anime.
A 17-year-old boy with messy dark brown hair and wide, expressive hazel eyes. He wears a traditional watchmaker's apron over a simple cream-colored tunic and brown trousers. Strapped to his belt is a complex silver pocket watch with a glowing sapphire-blue clock face that emits a faint hum. His expression is one of newfound determination and wonder. He stands in a dimly lit workshop filled with floating dust motes and intricate brass gears. The lighting is warm and amber, highlighting the metallic textures of his tools and the glowing blue of the watch.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image in the following art style:
16-bit pixel-art blended with modern webtoon comic illustration in a retro 90s anime aesthetic — crisp thick black outlines, cel-shaded coloring with flat colors and hard dramatic shadows. Gritty urban lo-fi hip-hop vibe. Moody atmospheric lighting with vibrant neon accents (purple, magenta, red) on dark backgrounds. Subtle CRT scanline overlay, glowing elements, expressive sharp anime-influenced features, streetwear clothing.
Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
