Art style: Modern 2D Webcomic.
A minimalist 2D whiteboard scene showing a stickman on the third step of a staircase, pulling apart a heavy chain that is visibly shrinking link by link, several broken links falling away below. The stickman shows a determined but slightly weary expression, mouth set in concentration. Medium shot at eye level emphasizing the diminishing chain. Flat even lighting on an off-white background. Mood of grinding, patient persistence. Palette of black line work with dulled grey chain links breaking against a soft cream backdrop.

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 "Modern 2D Webcomic" idiom, not in any other medium.
