Art style: 3D Pixar. A stark, minimalist kitchen bathed in the cold, unforgiving light of a grey morning. The surfaces are clean but cold, reflecting the overcast sky through a large window. A female mallard duck stands with her back to the camera, her mottled brown feathers looking sharp and detailed against the white wall. She is looking out the window, her posture rigid and pained. In the midground, the male mallard duck sits at a plain wooden table, a bottle of spirits standing between him and his wife like a physical barrier. His charcoal overcoat is slightly rumpled, and his head is bowed in shame. The lighting is flat and high-contrast, creating hard, long shadows on the linoleum floor. The color palette is restricted to cold greys, muted earth tones, and harsh whites. Micro-details include a single damp circle on the table from the bottle and the steam rising from a forgotten kettle on the stove. The composition is a wide shot that emphasizes the physical and emotional distance between the two characters. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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: Pixar-style 3D computer animation (Pixar / Disney feature-film look) — fully volumetric 3D rendering with rounded dimensional forms, soft subsurface-scattering skin, physically based materials, soft global illumination, warm cinematic key light, gentle depth of field, vibrant family-friendly colours. CRITICAL: EVERY element — characters, foliage, trees, animals, water, sky, props and the entire environment — must be rendered as polished 3D CGI with real depth and form. This is NOT flat 2D illustration, NOT a watercolour or storybook painting, NOT cel-shaded anime. Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Duck: A realistic male mallard duck, species Anas platyrhynchos, standing bipedally at 65cm tall with human-like proportions. He has a brilliant iridescent dark green head with a metallic sheen and a crisp, perfectly white neck ring that is always visible. His breast is a rich chestnut-brown, transitioning into finely detailed grey-and-white feathered flanks. He has a bright orange-yellow bill with a small black tip and large, sturdy orange webbed feet. His eyes are deep amber-gold, positioned on the sides of his head, giving him a wide, observant gaze. He wears a clean, white open-collar cotton shirt in early scenes, transitioning to a heavy, dark charcoal grey wool overcoat with visible texture in later scenes. The feather detail is photorealistic, showing individual barbs and a natural oily sheen, set against a blurred cinematic background. - Wife: A realistic female mallard duck with intricate mottled brown, tan, and black feather patterns providing natural camouflage. She has a dark stripe running through her eye and a smaller pale stripe above it. Her bill is a dull orange with dark spotting. She stands bipedally at approximately 60cm tall, with a graceful and slender posture. Her eyes are dark brown and expressive, conveying deep emotion. She wears a simple, elegant thin gold necklace that rests against her feathers. Her wings show a hint of iridescent blue speculum feathers when she moves. She is often seen in soft, domestic lighting like warm kitchen glows or dim morning light, with a focus on her gentle, worried facial expressions.
