Art style: Pixar-like 3D. Alex walking in the near foreground. Long path separating them. Alex is walking on dirt path in the near foreground in the foreground. Torso facing away from camera.

Dominant palette: forest green, iron red, dusty tan. SPATIAL LOCK: long path separating them. GAZE LOCK: Alex head turned screen-right eyes on dog.

Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Alex: A young man in his early 20s with a slim, athletic build and messy dark hair. He has a sharp jawline and expressive brown eyes that reflect a mix of anxiety and curiosity. He is dressed in an oversized beige streetwear hoodie, ripped black jeans, and high-top sneakers. He often carries a smartphone as if recording a vlog. He is positioned in the center of a deserted, silent metropolitan street at noon, with the harsh sun casting long shadows between the skyscrapers. His vibe is modern and urban, looking like he just stepped out of a fashion shoot into a ghost town.
