Art style: Motion Comic. Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright and centered — Mel, a lean young substitute goalkeeper in his early twenties, roughly 1.88 m tall with narrow shoulders and long limbs that still look slightly gangly. Pale skin with a light scatter of freckles, an oval face with a sharp jaw, quick expressive hazel eyes and raised eyebrows caught mid-joke, a crooked half-smile that masks nervous tension. Messy light-brown hair, short at the sides, a stray fringe over the forehead. He wears a modern goalkeeper kit — a loose dark-teal long-sleeved jersey with charcoal shoulder panels and the number 12, black shorts, teal-and-black socks pulled to the knee, padded gloves clipped at the wrist, and grey-and-neon goalkeeper cleats. He stands on a floodlit training pitch at dusk, arms loose, weight on one hip, half-relaxed and half-guarded. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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.
