Art style: Studio Ghibli. The edge of a shallow, rocky bay meeting the deep, dark expanse of the open ocean. A small whale calf pauses at the underwater drop-off, angling slightly backward in hesitation. Wide shot, high angle looking down into the water. Harsh, cold daylight illuminates the sharp contrast between the safe shallows and the dark abyss. The mood is tense and intimidating. Dominant colors are deep navy blue, teal, and charcoal. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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: Studio Ghibli hand-painted 2D anime (Hayao Miyazaki look) — lush hand-painted backgrounds, soft watercolour-and-gouache textures, gentle pastel palette, warm natural daylight, clean confident line work, cel-shaded characters with simple expressive features. CRITICAL: EVERY element — characters, foliage, trees, animals, sky and the entire environment — must be rendered in this single consistent hand-painted Ghibli idiom. Do NOT mix in photorealism or 3D CGI; keep one cohesive 2D painted look across the whole frame. Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Nori: A small, young whale calf, roughly the size of a small boat, with smooth, dark slate-gray skin that has subtle lighter mottled patches along its belly and sides. Its eyes are large, dark, and deeply expressive, conveying a mix of innocence and melancholy. Initially, it has faint, superficial scratches along its flank and a frayed, greenish-brown piece of fishing net loosely wrapped around one pectoral fin. The calf exudes a gentle, calm energy. The environment is the shallow, clear, cold water of a rocky coastal bay, illuminated by the soft, diffused silver and pale blue light of early dawn.
