Art style: Cinematic Realistic.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright, centered — a lean African-American man in his late thirties, the story's unseen narrator given form. Warm medium-brown skin, a calm weathered face with high cheekbones, short-cropped black hair fading at the temples, a neat trimmed goatee flecked with early grey, and steady knowing dark eyes. Medium athletic build, relaxed shoulders. He wears a faded green flannel over a plain white tank, loose dark denim jeans belted low, and scuffed white-and-black low-top sneakers. Hands loosely in his pockets, quiet reflective half-smile, head slightly tilted as if recalling old streets. He stands on a cracked sun-bleached Los Santos sidewalk at dusk, palm trees and low stucco houses behind him, orange sky, long shadows. No text.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Realistic" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Cinematic Realistic". 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 "Cinematic Realistic" idiom, not in any other medium.
