Art style: Comic Book.
Lionel Messi, shown full-length from head to feet, standing upright at the center of a dark, empty stadium at night — a small-framed Argentine footballer in his mid-30s, roughly 1.70 m, lean and compact with strong thighs and low center of gravity. Warm light-olive skin, softly rounded face with a short, neatly trimmed dark-brown beard and a slightly receding hairline; medium-length brown hair pushed back. Both forearms and his left leg carry visible dark tattoo sleeves. He wears the Argentina national kit: sky-blue and white vertical striped shirt, black shorts, sky-blue socks, and low white-and-pink football boots. Number 10 on the shirt and a captain's armband on his left bicep. Calm, serious, focused expression, hands relaxed at his sides, weight settled evenly, chin slightly lowered.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Comic Book" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Comic Book". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Comic Book" idiom, not in any other medium.
