Art style: Ghibli-style 2D animation, Victorian greenhouse aesthetic, blizzard outside, warm lantern light inside, lush greenery, 4K, cozy atmosphere. SETTING: The heart of a bustling floating market on a wide river as warm golden morning sunlight finally breaks fully through, fog visibly evaporating in glowing wisps off the water. Wooden boats crowd close together, brimming with heaped produce — mounds of ruby-red lychee, pale jasmine flowers, green leaves, bright fruit in woven baskets. Vendors paddle and pass goods between vessels. The Old Boatman's boat enters the throng. COMPOSITION & CAMERA: Wide-to-medium shot, eye-level from the water among the boats looking into the bustling cluster, upright vertical 9:16 framing with crowded boats filling the midground and stilt houses rising behind. Layered depth, warm bustling energy. LIGHTING: Full warm honeyed golden morning sunlight breaking free, radiant and abundant, burning off the last fog in glowing tendrils; warm amber and coral flooding everything, only faint cool teal in the shrinking shadow pockets. Soft, radiant, celebratory. MOOD & ATMOSPHERE: Abundance, warmth, gentle joyful energy, the peak of awakening — the river fully alive. CHARACTER ACTION & EXPRESSION: The Old Boatman guides his boat calmly into the crowded market, serene and at home among the bustle; nearby vendors reach and pass baskets, lift produce, and paddle, all in gentle unhurried morning motion. COLORS: Radiant gold and amber sunlight, ruby-red lychee, jasmine-white blossoms, emerald green produce, coral accents, warm honey wood, faint teal shadow, glowing white fog wisps. TEXTURES & MATERIALS: Woven bamboo baskets, glossy lychee skins, soft jasmine petals, wet mossy and weathered boat wood, rippled sunlit water, timber and thatch stilt houses. DEPTH & LAYERS: Foreground — the boatman's bow entering, a basket of ruby lychee catching sun; midground — the dense cluster of laden market boats and moving vendors; background — sunlit stilt houses, palms, and the last glowing fog under a golden sky. WEATHER & PARTICLES: Last fog actively evaporating in glowing wisps, suspended moisture motes, faint cooking smoke, floating jasmine petals. MICRO-DETAILS: Sun glinting off wet lychee skins, ripples fanning between crowded boats, reflections of heaped produce on the water, steam rising from a distant cooking pot, baskets swaying as they pass between hands. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Ghibli-style 2D animation, Victorian greenhouse aesthetic, blizzard outside, warm lantern light inside, lush greenery, 4K, cozy atmosphere" style.

Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - The Old Boatman: A gentle elderly man in his late 70s with a slight, wiry frame and a lifetime of river work in his posture. Deeply sun-creased brown skin, kind squinting eyes framed by soft wrinkles, high cheekbones, and a sparse white beard. He wears a broad conical straw hat casting soft shadow over his serene face, a faded indigo linen tunic loose at the shoulders, and a woven sash. His hands are lean, knotted, and calloused from decades of rowing. A quiet, contented smile rests on his lips. Warm golden dawn light haloes his silhouette against drifting river mist, soft lavender and amber tones surrounding him. He radiates patient calm, humble wisdom, and deep peace.
