Image: Two original anime characters walking together alo

Generated from: Two original anime characters walking together along a riverside embankment path at golden hour, seen from the side in a full-body tracking shot. LEFT CHARACTER: a tall lanky girl, 17, straight blue-black hair to mid-back with one strand of faded turquoise at the front, tied with a frayed grey ribbon; oversized dark green military-surplus jacket worn open over a plain white shirt, rolled-up wide trousers, scuffed canvas shoes; hands buried in jacket pockets, shoulders slightly hunched, mid-stride with the near leg forward. RIGHT CHARACTER: a shorter stockier boy, 16, cropped copper-orange hair with a stubborn cowlick, round wire glasses catching the sun; mustard knit vest over a rumpled shirt, shorts, tall socks; a heavy canvas satchel swinging from one shoulder, one arm out for balance, half a step behind her, looking up at her while she looks ahead. STYLE: hand-painted 2D cel animation, authentic Japanese TV anime, flat blocked shading with hard shadow edges and no gradients on the characters, confident inked linework of varying weight, characters rendered as near-silhouettes against the low sun with a hot orange rim light burning along their right edges and blowing out on hair and shoulders. BACKGROUND: watercolour-painted style, wide slow river reflecting the sun in sparse hard specks, far bank of low blue-violet hills, a line of leaning wooden utility poles receding to the right, tall grass on the embankment with rim-lit blade tips, cracked concrete path. Sky graded deep violet at top through magenta to peach to gold at the horizon. A few cherry blossom petals drifting. Composition: 16:9 cinematic wide, horizon low, characters positioned left of centre, lots of sky. Limited anime colour palette, film grain, no text, no watermark.
