Art style: Pixar-like 3D animation, warm expressive characters, rich volumetric lighting, cinematic depth. Altar hall, medium: Alexei at the altar, both hands just off the map on its edge, the Shadow Creature standing in the archway behind, not moving. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Pixar-like 3D animation, warm expressive characters, rich volumetric lighting, cinematic depth" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Pixar-like 3D animation, warm expressive characters, rich volumetric lighting, cinematic depth". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Pixar-like 3D animation, warm expressive characters, rich volumetric lighting, cinematic depth" idiom, not in any other medium. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Алексей: Pixar-like 3D adult man, lean build, expressive dark brown eyes, tousled messy dark-brown hair, light stubble, worn dark-navy quilted jacket with a scuffed collar over a grey henley, dark cargo trousers, muddy brown boots. Visible fabric texture and skin pores, side lighting, caught mid-stride in an action pose, empty hands, no props on the card. - Анна: Pixar-like 3D adult woman, slender, calm grey-green eyes, long straw-blond braid over one shoulder, pale cream hooded cape with frayed hem over a moss-green dress, small wooden bead necklace. Soft fabric weave texture, freckled skin, side lighting, turned three-quarters with one arm raised mid-gesture. - Теневое существо: Original stylized 3D shadow entity, tall humanlike silhouette about twice a person's height, matte smoky black body with no face or features, edges dissolving into drifting black wisps, two faint cold-grey glints where eyes would be. Soft volumetric haze around it, side lighting, captured mid-glide.
