YouTube thumbnail photo, 16:9. The same curly-haired young man with a moustache and black t-shirt from the first reference image, photoreal and very sharp, on the RIGHT third of the frame, chest-up, turning back over his shoulder toward the camera with a shocked, wide-eyed expression, pointing behind him with his thumb. Behind him, filling the whole background like a giant screen, is the hand-painted animated scene from the second reference image: a Roman town and Mount Vesuvius erupting with a huge ash column. Warm sunset light on his face matching the scene. Leave the left 45% calmer for a title. No text, no logos.
