Modern semi-realistic digital comic / motion-comic illustration panel. Bold sketchy crosshatched linework especially around large expressive eyes, soft cel shading with painterly gradients. Cinematic lighting contrast with warm-to-cool twilight glow against cozy teal-and-amber interior. Close-up portrait shot of Alexei, a young man with a musician vibe holding a phone to his ear. His facial expression is frozen in total shock and numbness, eyes wide and staring blankly into space as the call suddenly cuts off. Atmospheric room lighting, moody shadows, graphic novel art style.
