Art style: Modern 2D Webcomic.
A minimalist 2D whiteboard scene showing a rising staircase of steps climbing from lower-left toward upper-right, with only the very first step clearly visible. A single stickman figure stands on step one, looking upward at the towering staircase ahead. Wide establishing shot from a slightly low angle to emphasize the height still to climb. Clean flat even lighting on an off-white background. The mood is aspirational yet daunting. Dominant palette of crisp black line work with a soft warm cream backdrop and a faint glowing highlight on step one.
