Art style: Ghibli / Anime-inspired.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright and centered — a large, heavy-set man in his early forties, the stepfather, with broad shoulders and a thick, barrel-chested build that fills the frame. Square jaw with dark stubble, short cropped receding dark hair flecked with grey, deep-set narrow eyes under a low heavy brow giving a crushing, intimidating stare, lips pressed into a hard line. He wears a plain stretched grey undershirt, an unbuttoned dark flannel shirt, worn loose tracksuit trousers and scuffed house slippers. One meaty hand clenched at his side, the other half-raised. He stands in a cramped dim apartment hallway with peeling wallpaper, coats on hooks and a flickering bare bulb, oppressive shadows pooling around him, tense and domineering.
