Art style: Studio Ghibli. A tight close-up portrait of a young boy smiling modestly at the camera. A simple brass medal hangs around his neck, catching the light. The background is a soft, out-of-focus village landscape under a clear, post-rain sky. The lighting is bright and celebratory, with a warm afternoon glow. The mood is triumphant and inspiring. The colors are rich and saturated, featuring deep greens and bright gold highlights. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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: Studio Ghibli hand-painted 2D anime (Hayao Miyazaki look) — lush hand-painted backgrounds, soft watercolour-and-gouache textures, gentle pastel palette, warm natural daylight, clean confident line work, cel-shaded characters with simple expressive features. CRITICAL: EVERY element — characters, foliage, trees, animals, sky and the entire environment — must be rendered in this single consistent hand-painted Ghibli idiom. Do NOT mix in photorealism or 3D CGI; keep one cohesive 2D painted look across the whole frame. Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Chotu: A 12-year-old Indian boy with a lean build and a sun-kissed complexion. He has thick, neatly combed black hair and large, soulful brown eyes that radiate kindness. His expression is often earnest and determined. He wears a simple, clean cotton button-down shirt and dark trousers typical of a rural schoolboy. The background is a soft-focus village schoolyard with lush green trees. The lighting is bright and natural, highlighting the youthful clarity of his features.
