Art style: Ghibli / Anime-inspired.
UNCLE HERON. Tall lanky gray heron in hand-painted Ghibli anime style. Slate-gray textured feathers with a white throat and a black crest plume, long crooked S-shaped neck, spindly yellow legs and a long yellow beak. Cracked round reed-framed spectacles sit on the beak. Ruffled, weathered feathers, soft side lighting, carries no items, caught mid-gesture.
Full-length shot, head to toe — the entire outfit and footwear must be visible. Character standing in a natural relaxed pose, front-facing, face clearly visible. This ONE character is the only subject in the frame — no other people, bystanders or extra characters present. Plain seamless studio background, even soft lighting.
