“Seventeen-year-old Dax stands in a gritty harbour scene, illustrated in bold Western comic style with strong linework and dramatic shadows. He has the physique of someone who’s worked since age thirteen—slightly hunched from carrying heavy crates, muscles tense, back aching. His hands are rough and calloused. Around him, wooden crates, ropes, and docked ships fill the background. The atmosphere is rugged and dusty, with a sun-baked frontier-port vibe. Capture his determined expression and the tough, hard-earned maturity in his face.”
