Art style: Dark Cartoon. A bustling, grey-toned British railway station lobby with sleek digital ticket kiosks and yellow floor markings. A wide shot from a waist-high perspective shows Dave standing by a machine while Nigel stands behind him. Cold morning light filters through high glass ceilings. The mood is mundane and chilly, with a palette of steely blues and industrial greys. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Dark Cartoon" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Dark Cartoon". 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 "Dark Cartoon" idiom, not in any other medium. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Dave: A middle-aged man in his late 40s with short, thinning salt-and-pepper hair and a face etched with the weariness of daily commuting. He wears a faded charcoal puffer jacket over a thick navy jumper and a simple woollen scarf. His eyes are a tired blue, and he has a few days of stubble. He is captured in a gritty, high-contrast urban environment with cool, overhead fluorescent lighting that highlights the lines on his face. He carries a battered canvas backpack over one shoulder, looking frustrated. The style is realistic with a focus on tactile textures and honest, unpolished character details. - Nigel: An elegant older man in his late 60s with perfectly coiffed, thick silver hair and a sharp, aristocratic profile. He is dressed in a bespoke navy wool overcoat with a silk burgundy cravat peeping from the collar. He wears gold-rimmed spectacles and holds a leather-bound diary. He is set in a clean, modern transit hub with soft, expensive-looking ambient lighting. His expression is one of calm, detached curiosity. The palette is rich with deep blues, creams, and polished mahogany tones. He exudes an aura of effortless wealth and complete lack of financial concern.
