Art style: Lo-Fi Anime. The interior of a professional oven, glowing with a warm, orange heat. The dough lump, now slightly larger and starting to turn a light golden brown, sits on a metal rack. The walls of the oven are dark and textured with age. The lighting is intense and fiery from the heating elements. The palette is rich oranges, deep shadows, and metallic greys. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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: 16-bit pixel-art blended with modern webtoon comic illustration in a retro 90s anime aesthetic — crisp thick black outlines, cel-shaded coloring with flat colors and hard dramatic shadows. Gritty urban lo-fi hip-hop vibe. Moody atmospheric lighting with vibrant neon accents (purple, magenta, red) on dark backgrounds. Subtle CRT scanline overlay, glowing elements, expressive sharp anime-influenced features, streetwear clothing. Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Doughy: A small, round, sentient sponge cake with a soft, porous texture. In his initial state, he is a pale cream color with a slightly uneven surface. He has two large, expressive dark chocolate drop eyes and a small, hopeful smile. As the story progresses, his surface becomes covered in a glossy, deep violet and navy blue glaze with swirls of magenta and cyan. Tiny edible silver pearls and gold leaf stars are scattered across his top. He sits atop a scalloped silver cake board, radiating a sweet and magical energy. The background is a clean, wooden bakery surface with soft, diffused lighting.
