mature 2D animated drama frame. Adult characters with realistic body proportions and strongly stylized faces: sharp angular facial structure, narrow almond-shaped expressive eyes, extremely heavy black upper eyelashes, thick straight eyebrows, full defined lips, strong simplified jawlines. Serious mature expressions, not cute. Hand-drawn dark outlines with small imperfect sketch marks, flat digital colors, simple hard cel shading, subtle facial shadow lines, simplified skin rendering, minimal gradients and restrained detail. Clearly illustrated rather than realistic. Deep teal-green and muted blue-green environments, warm natural skin tones, vivid thin magenta-pink rim light along selected edges of characters, warm orange and soft purple highlights. Atmospheric cinematic lighting with clearly visible faces and readable skin tones. Darker environment without underexposing the characters. Moody intimate atmosphere, contemporary hand-drawn adult animation aesthetic, cinematic framing, expressive body language, characters often filling the frame. Slightly gritty everyday environments with simplified hand-drawn background details. 2D illustration only. Vertical 9:16. SCENE: The guy is walking the dog outside on an evening city sidewalk, calm focused expression, holding the leash with the dog alongside him under atmospheric streetlights.
