Midnight cellist

THE PROMPT

An adult female cellist in a buttoned ivory shirt and fitted navy waistcoat strides down a narrow backstage stair carrying a closed curved instrument case. A loose ribbon and coat hem follow her motion. Slight low angle, energetic diagonal composition, clean adult face design, dark painted theatre setting and crisp stylized highlights. Visual medium: Clearly two-dimensional anime illustration, expressive adult character proportions, confident fine ink contours, layered cel shadows and carefully painted depth. Preserve a drawn finish. Palette: navy, cream, ember orange. Lighting: sharp blue rim light with warm backstage lamps. All human or humanlike figures are clearly adult and fully clothed. Original character and object designs. One coherent finished image, with no added lettering, logos, signatures or watermarks.
