Art style: Modern 2D Webcomic. The same minimalist room now sinking into deep shadow, walls darkening at the edges. The stickman stands center, still blindfolded by his own hands, small and vulnerable. Behind him, enormous looming shapes of overdue bills and rising debt totals swell upward, edges blurred and darkening, casting a heavy shadow that engulfs him. Faint red numbers climb along the growing shapes. Wide low-angle shot emphasizing the towering debt, dim moody lighting, oppressive foreboding mood, palette of deep charcoal, black, and ominous dark red. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Modern 2D Webcomic" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Modern 2D Webcomic". 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 "Modern 2D Webcomic" idiom, not in any other medium. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Stan: A simple black stickman figure with a round head and clean, confident line strokes, standing upright against a flat, minimal background. He has expressive dot eyes and a small line mouth capable of showing confusion, excitement, worry, and realization. His proportions are balanced and friendly, roughly average adult height and build implied through simple geometry. He often holds objects like a smartphone, wallet, or shovel. The surrounding palette features a clean off-white backdrop with occasional bold red and green accent icons representing money and finance. His overall vibe is approachable, ordinary, and everyman, radiating quiet relatability and mild vulnerability as he stumbles through financial pitfalls.
