Image: A BOWLER SPOTLIGHT graphic for a fictional cricket

Generated from: A BOWLER SPOTLIGHT graphic for a fictional cricket management game — a fast bowler. ABSOLUTE RULE: the picture contains NOT ONE SINGLE CHARACTER. No letters, no words, no digits, no name, no statistics, no headline, 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 fast bowler caught at the moment of delivery, and the action must be correct. The bowling arm is STRAIGHT at the elbow, vertical and just past the top of its arc — a cricket bowler never bends the elbow to throw. The front arm is pulling down across the body, the front foot has landed braced behind the popping crease, the back leg drives through, the chest is opening towards the batter, and the head is upright with eyes fixed down the pitch. The ball is held in the fingers with the seam upright, clearly visible. Behind him the run-up and the umpire at the stumps recede out of focus. Dynamic side-on camera at chest height, shallow depth of field, a hint of motion blur in the arm only. Crisp late-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, his bowling arm or the ball. SAFE ZONE: every panel keeps at least one tenth of the picture width and height clear of all four edges. Nothing is cropped and the bowling arm is not cut off. 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, no resemblance to any real league, club, player or sponsor. Photorealistic sports photography, sharp, correct cricket ball with a visible seam, straight bowling arm, plausible anatomy, correct hands and fingers, natural skin tones, plausible shadows, one ball only, no HDR oversaturation.
