Exactly the same character as the reference image: same face, same short dark brown wavy hair, same short beard, same open beige linen shirt-jacket over a dark charcoal t-shirt, same flat 2D vector anime-influenced illustration style with smooth cell shading. Waist-up, facing the camera, centered, head near the top of the frame, identical framing and scale as the reference. ONLY the arms change: he holds BOTH hands out to his sides at waist height, both palms turned upward in an open explaining gesture, both elbows slightly bent, both hands fully visible. Open friendly expression, warm smile. Pure flat solid white #FFFFFF background, no shadows on the background, no text, no letters, no logos, no props, no border.
