[art-style: western comic illustration]
Highly detailed, anatomically grounded figures with realistic proportions and expressive faces. Fine cross-hatching and brushwork for texture. Strong chiaroscuro lighting with deep shadows and highlighted focal points. Cinematic composition, authentic Western details (tack, spurs, architecture), subtle environmental storytelling. Matte ink finishes with occasional wash or gouache-like gradients.

A young boy (around 10) and girl (around 8) sitting side-by-side on a living room floor, completely hypnotized by early 2000s videogames. The boy wears a baggy graphic t-shirt (perhaps with a Pokémon or WWE logo), cargo shorts, and sneakers, leaning forward intensely with a GameCube or Xbox controller. The girl wears a pastel hoodie with butterfly graphics, low-rise jeans, and pigtails with colorful clips, holding a pink controller. Both have wide-eyed, zoned-out expressions, mouths slightly open. Room details: CRT television with glowing screen showing a racing or fighting game, scattered game cases (GTA, Halo, Mario), snack wrappers (Cheetos, Mountain Dew), posters of pop stars or wrestlers on the walls, early 2000s middle-class suburban living room with beige carpet and corded landline phone. Soft indoor lighting with TV glow illuminating their faces.
