Art style: Lo-Fi Anime.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright, centered on a foggy dusk forest trail with dark detailed pines crowding both sides. An older local man in his late sixties, tall but slightly stooped, lean and weathered. Deeply lined leathery face, sunken pale eyes, high cheekbones, a grey-white stubbled beard and thinning grey hair pushed back under a faded flat cap. He wears a heavy dark green oilcloth coat over a worn plaid flannel shirt, brown canvas trousers, and scuffed mud-caked leather work boots. A tarnished lantern hangs from one gnarled hand; the other rests on a knotted wooden walking staff. His expression is unnervingly calm, a faint knowing half-smile, head tilted as if about to whisper. Low ground mist curls around his boots.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image in the following art style:
16-bit pixel-art blended with modern webtoon comic illustration in a retro 90s anime aesthetic — crisp thick black outlines, cel-shaded coloring with flat colors and hard dramatic shadows. Gritty urban lo-fi hip-hop vibe. Moody atmospheric lighting with vibrant neon accents (purple, magenta, red) on dark backgrounds. Subtle CRT scanline overlay, glowing elements, expressive sharp anime-influenced features, streetwear clothing.
Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
