Art style: Dark Cartoon. A vast, cold living room inside a grand British manor. Tall windows reveal a grey, overcast sky outside. Nigel sits comfortably in a deep wingback leather chair by a cold fireplace, while Dave sits stiffly on a velvet sofa, staring at a smartphone. Muted blue-grey tones dominate, with long, dramatic shadows stretching across the polished hardwood floors. The atmosphere is icy and detached. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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): - Nigel: A distinguished man in his late 60s with silver-grey hair swept back neatly. He has a refined, soft face with kind but somewhat oblivious blue eyes behind thin gold-rimmed spectacles. He wears a high-quality navy wool jumper over a crisp white collared shirt. He exudes an air of quiet, unearned comfort and old-world elegance. He is seated in a grand, dimly lit study with mahogany bookshelves. The lighting is cool and soft, highlighting his relaxed posture and polished appearance. Realistic proportions and clean features. - Dave: A man in his early 30s with short, slightly messy dark brown hair and a tired, pale complexion. He has noticeable circles under his eyes and a tense, set jawline. He wears a simple, slightly worn charcoal-grey hoodie. His expression is one of weary resignation and quiet frustration. He is positioned in a cold, grand room with sharp, blue-grey light hitting one side of his face, accentuating his stressed features and realistic proportions. He looks out of place in the opulent setting.
