Semi-realistic comic illustration style with watercolor background washes. Abstract symbolic image — a figure that was previously vivid and present, now becoming translucent, fading — not because they were killed but because the information that sustained them stopped flowing and they have nothing left to feed on. Clean expressive comic linework. Background washes in deep teal and dark slate. Cold silver light on the fading translucent figure. White fade at edges. No text. 16:9 widescreen. Sharp focal subject, painterly blurred background. Premium psychological Patreon quality.
