Art style: Ghibli-style 2D animation, Victorian greenhouse aesthetic, blizzard outside, warm lantern light inside, lush greenery, 4K, cozy atmosphere. SETTING: A dramatic low bottom-up view from water level on the misty tropical river as the Old Boatman's boat glides past. The long narrow moss-covered wooden hull looms above the camera, its weathered dark underside and prow cutting through the fog. Beyond and above, the boatman's seated silhouette beneath his conical hat is rimmed by strengthening dawn light. The glassy black water fills the immediate foreground, the boat's dark reflection meeting its hull at the waterline. COMPOSITION & CAMERA: Low bottom-up angle from just above the water surface looking up past the passing hull toward the boatman and the brightening sky, vertical 9:16 canvas, upright, no tilt. The hull cuts diagonally across the frame as it passes; the boatman's silhouette sits in the upper portion against the glowing horizon. Sense of scale and awe. LIGHTING: The golden-lavender dawn strengthens noticeably on the horizon behind and above the boat, backlighting the hull and boatman with a warm amber rim, god-ray hints piercing low through the parting mist. Cool teal shadow on the hull's underside facing the camera. MOOD & ATMOSPHERE: Awe, scale, quiet grandeur — dawn beginning to break, the guide passing overhead like a gentle giant. COLORS: Warm amber and honey-gold rim and horizon against dominant misty indigo, cool teal hull shadow, blue-lavender fog, with faint coral warming above. TEXTURES & MATERIALS: Weathered dark wet wood of the hull with moss patches at the waterline, glassy black water, soft cotton fog. DEPTH & LAYERS: Foreground — glassy water and the near passing hull edge; midground — the full boat and boatman silhouette; background — parting fog and the strengthening golden horizon with god-rays. WEATHER & PARTICLES: Fog parting and swirling around the bow, rising vapor, low god-rays breaking through, moisture haze. MICRO-DETAILS: Ripples peeling off the hull, moss glistening at the waterline, droplets flicking from the moving prow, the warm rim light catching the curve of the boatman's hat. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Ghibli-style 2D animation, Victorian greenhouse aesthetic, blizzard outside, warm lantern light inside, lush greenery, 4K, cozy atmosphere" style.

Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - The Old Boatman: A gentle elderly man in his late 70s with a slight, wiry frame and a lifetime of river work in his posture. Deeply sun-creased brown skin, kind squinting eyes framed by soft wrinkles, high cheekbones, and a sparse white beard. He wears a broad conical straw hat casting soft shadow over his serene face, a faded indigo linen tunic loose at the shoulders, and a woven sash. His hands are lean, knotted, and calloused from decades of rowing. A quiet, contented smile rests on his lips. Warm golden dawn light haloes his silhouette against drifting river mist, soft lavender and amber tones surrounding him. He radiates patient calm, humble wisdom, and deep peace.
