a boy, shoujo manga, xiaohungshu style, r3dn0t3 artstyle, extremely thin colored, desaturated, pastel palette, high-key lighting, translucent-quality skin, complex gradients, glowing highlights, soft, semi-transparent lashes, soft, painterly, cell-shading, perfect rendering, masterpiece. Shape and Silhouette: The hair is cut into many short, choppy, and uneven layers all around the crown of the head, giving the top a lot of natural volume and a deliberately messy, textured look. The hair reaches the middle of his neck, with the sides and top kept shorter and shaggier. The Heavy Fringe: Thick, long bangs sweep across the forehead, some covering one eye completely. The Sideburns: Long, choppy tendrils of hair extend down in front of the ears, hugging the jawline to frame the face beautifully. The Texture: The hair has a relaxed, slightly wavy, and tousled texture, looking stylishly unbrushed. The Color: The hair is a deep, rich, pitch-black color with red highlights. The eyes: The iris features a distinct dual-tone palette—a dominant cool slate blue-gray base paired with a deep crimson, slit-like pupil at the center. He wears light but visible black eyeshadow under his eyes. Camera Frame and Position: A close-up shot from the chest up, highlighting the character's facial features and hand gesture. The character stands perfectly straight, looking directly forward into the camera lens. The Smile: The mouth is set in a calm, gentle, and slightly wide upturned line, showing a soft and confident mood. The head is held level and facing completely forward. The Hand Sign: The left hand is brought up in front of the face to flash a horizontal "V" or peace sign. The two extended fingers split apart to perfectly frame where the left eye would be, with one finger pointing up-left and the other pointing down-left. The palm faces inward toward the cheek, showing the back of the hand and knuckles to the viewer. He wears a school uniform which is unbuttoned with his blazer over his shoulders.
