Art style: Motion Comic. Motion Comic visual style: Extreme close-up of the boatswain's grizzled face drenched in sea spray, graphic ink splash effects framing his open-mouthed triumphant roar against a backdrop of storm clouds. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image in the following art style: modern semi-realistic digital comic / motion-comic illustration — bold sketchy crosshatched linework especially around large expressive eyes, soft cel shading with painterly gradients, cinematic lighting contrast (warm-to-cool twilight glow against cosy teal-and-amber interiors), mostly static illustrated panels animated with subtle cinemagraph motion: gentle hair drift, slow blinking, soft breathing, slight parallax between foreground and background, slow camera pans and zooms rather than full frame-by-frame animation. Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - lead_boatswain: A burly, weathered pirate boatswain in his late 40s with a rugged salt-and-pepper beard, facial scars, a dark crooked naval frock coat over an open linen shirt, and a brass-buckled leather belt holding a dented metal flask. Reference images context (match the visual style and elements from these): - storm_deck (location): The rain-slicked wooden deck of an 18th-century pirate ship in the midst of a violent ocean tempest, rendered in gritty high-contrast comic book ink lines, amber swinging lanterns, and churning frothy waves. - quarterdeck (location): The raised helm area and quarterdeck with an ornate wooden steering wheel, heavy rigging, and dramatic views of breaking ocean swells. - forecastle (location): The forward bow deck of the ship featuring the bowsprit, heavy rope coils, and wooden storage barrels against the storm spray. - comic_shanty_style (style): Graphic novel motion comic aesthetic featuring bold black ink linework, crosshatching, textured halftones, dynamic comic speed lines, and rich moody maritime color palettes.
