Sunburnt Lifeguard Captain

Generated from: Full-body single character on a plain flat sand-coloured background: a broad-shouldered, sunburnt lifeguard captain in his forties in a low ready stance, red swim shorts, sun-bleached white tank top, wide straw hat with a red band, silver whistle on a cord at his chest, tanned scarred knees, one flat hand shading his eyes. Strong clean silhouette, three signature colours — red, white, tan — and one glanceable feature: the oversized straw hat and whistle. No text. Drawn in this game's art direction: Crisp hand-crafted 2D pixel art with painted lighting, 32-bit sprite look, stylised realism with slightly exaggerated cartoon proportions — big heads, chunky readable silhouettes, thick dark outlines on characters only. Warm saturated palette: honey sand, turquoise sea, coral and teal accents, deep navy shadows. Soft golden-hour sunlight with long warm shadows, gentle ambient occlusion, hand-painted gradient skies with simple dithering, clean uncluttered backgrounds. Camera: side-view platformer perspective with a slight three-quarter tilt so depth reads clearly. Cozy, nostalgic, sunny arcade mood. No text, no UI, no logos anywhere. Everything is original: never draw or resemble characters, places or logos from existing games, films or brands (no red-capped plumbers, no famous mascots), even when the idea names one: take a named game's look and mood, never its characters, names or logos. No text, UI, HUD, logos or editor screens inside any image.
