Art style: Ghibli / Anime-inspired.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright — an elderly village elder in his late seventies, lean and slightly stooped but dignified. His weathered face is deeply furrowed, skin creased like the bark of an old tree, dark olive-tan and sun-roughened. A thick white beard reaches his chest; bushy white eyebrows shade tired, glistening pale-grey eyes brimming with sorrow. He wears a worn grey woollen coat over a collarless cotton shirt, a wide dark cloth sash at the waist, loose dark trousers, and a flat brown felt cap typical of the Black Sea highlands. In his hands he clutches a small cloth bundle of belongings. His feet wear cracked leather peasant boots caked with mud. He stands by weathered wooden houses, bewildered, tears tracing his cheeks, under a cold overcast sky.
