【Overall】
A novel cover illustration with a poignant atmosphere.
Along the coast of modern Japan. The time of day when dusk transitions into night.
A quiet, beautiful, and lonely atmosphere, like a scene from a movie.
Delicate anime/light novel style illustration.
Vertical book cover composition.
【Character】
The only character is Rei. Absolutely do not draw any other people.
A 17-year-old boy.
Black hair, black eyes.
Slightly long, messy black hair. Bangs covering the eyes.
Slender and fragile build.
Well-featured, androgynous, and ephemeral facial features.
The expression is not so much sad, but tired and quiet.
【Clothing】
A worn-out white shirt.
A slightly dirty shirt with many wrinkles, as if worn many times.
Buttons are slightly open.
Black slim-fit pants.
Clothing that is not too fashionable, befitting a boy on the run.
【Pose/Composition】
Maintain the same pose and same composition as the reference image.
Rei is placed largely on the left side of the screen.
Sitting on a seaside breakwater.
One knee is raised, and the body is slightly turned sideways.
Face is turned toward the sea and the sunset on the right.
Gaze is toward the distant horizon.
The camera captures Rei's face and upper body prominently.
Do not change the character's pose or body orientation.
【Background】
A seaside breakwater.
Small harbor and city lights in the distance.
Wide sea and horizon.
The sunset is reflecting on the sea.
The sky is changing from sunset orange to deep blue.
There are a few clouds, with the sunset light shining through the gaps in the clouds.
Do not draw people or cars.
【Light/Color】
The orange light of the sunset illuminates Rei's hair and outline.
The front side of the character is a dark blue-gray.
Contrast between the warm sunset and the cold night blue.
Overall dark, subdued tones.
Cinematic lighting.
A texture slightly like a film photograph.
【Atmosphere】
Evokes a narrative sense of "a boy who has lost his place to return to, thinking about going far away while gazing at the sea."
Do not make the expression too sad; leave a little quiet hope.
Loneliness, flight/escape, poignancy, quiet happiness.
