Image: A BATTER SPOTLIGHT graphic for a fictional cricket

Generated from: A BATTER SPOTLIGHT graphic for a fictional cricket management game. ABSOLUTE RULE: the picture contains NOT ONE SINGLE CHARACTER. No letters, no words, no digits, no name, no statistics, no headline, no bat branding, no sponsor wordmark, no shirt number. Every panel is a BLANK EMPTY PLATE. Do not write out any word from this instruction anywhere in the image. FRAMING RULE: render the picture as a widescreen 16:9 photograph occupying the central horizontal band of the canvas. The top strip is plain empty sky, the bottom strip plain dark blurred crowd; nothing important enters either strip. CRICKET ACCURACY, the point of this asset: a top-order batter caught at the completion of a textbook cover drive. The front foot is planted forward and across towards the ball, the head is still and directly over the front knee, the eyes look down the line of the shot, the elbow is high and the bat has swung through in a full controlled arc with the face closing. Correct equipment throughout: helmet with grille, batting gloves with segmented fingers, front and back pads, an unbranded bat. The crease markings and the worn pitch surface are visible beneath him. Behind, the field and the boundary recede softly out of focus. Camera at a low three-quarter angle from the off side, shallow depth of field, a hint of motion in the bat's arc. Bright, high-quality afternoon light. The player is an adult of believable appearance, an invented person resembling no real cricketer. INTERFACE LAYER: dark smoked-glass plates in navy over anthracite, clearly darker than what lies behind them. One slim blank horizontal bar in the upper middle, one fifteenth of the picture height, and one blank medium card to one side in the lower middle third, plus a row of three small blank tiles. All sit well inside the middle of the picture, far from the bottom, and never cover his head, hands or bat. SAFE ZONE: every panel keeps at least one tenth of the picture width and height clear of all four edges. Nothing is cropped. COLOUR: deep navy, neutral anthracite, white highlights. Panel borders stay neutral brushed graphite and warm grey. Everything fictional: original abstract crest without letters, invented kit, unbranded bat, no resemblance to any real league, club, player or sponsor. Photorealistic sports photography, sharp, correct cricket equipment, plausible anatomy, correct hands and fingers, natural skin tones, plausible shadows, one ball only, no HDR oversaturation.
