Sitting For It (Take B)

PROMPT

POSITIVE:
A single full-colour comic page: five horizontal panels stacked vertically, equal width, evenly spaced, separated by narrow white gutters, printed on warm cream paper with faint tooth. Style: European bande dessinee - confident inked linework with rich watercolour and gouache colour, muted studio palette of oxblood, ochre, sage, dusty teal, umber, lead white and cream, no neon. Every human figure drawn with rigorous academic anatomy: correct skeletal proportion, believable weight and contrapposto, accurate hands with five articulated fingers, correct forearm pronation on the brush arm, foreshortened shoulders, visible collarbones and knuckles. Dense small detail everywhere: paint-crusted palettes, jam jars of turpentine, chalk marks on the floorboards, dust motes in the light beams, drawing pins, frayed cuffs, rag scraps, spilled pigment, cracked plaster. CAST, consistent across all five panels: THE MODEL: one large green-gold pear the size of a cat, sitting on a crimson velvet cushion on a wooden plinth, with two expressive cartoon eyes, eyebrows and a mouth on its front, but its skin painted realistically. PAINTER 1, the old master: stout man about 60, dark wide-brimmed hat, white linen falling collar, wine-coloured doublet, grey pointed beard. PAINTER 2, the provencal: broad bald man about 55, huge grizzled beard, blue workman's smock, round wire spectacles. PAINTER 3, the modernist: lean man about 35, black-and-white striped Breton shirt, sharp black hair, cigarette, paint-stained trousers. PAINTER 4, the technician: young man about 28, grey beanie, black t-shirt, headphones round his neck, smartphone in hand. All four work in one dusty north-lit studio. Five panels: establishing shot of four easels in a semicircle; the old master's glowing golden-age still life; the provencal's blocky angular facets; the modernist's seven overlapping planes; the technician's flawless photorealistic pear. Five hand-lettered speech balloons in black block capitals, no other text anywhere on the page.
