Prompt:
A modern, colorful manga-style comic panel with clean, confident linework, expressive chibi-influenced proportions, and flat, vibrant colors with soft cel shading. The tone is playful, celebratory, and gently philosophical.
The composition is a single panel.
On the left, a young woman sits in seiza. She is barefoot and wears a short pleated skirt and a light, youthful blouse in bright, cheerful colors. Her very short, sharply layered asymmetrical pixie haircut is a vivid violet. She looks festive and excited, leaning slightly forward with a smile, clearly celebrating the arrival of the New Year.
At the center, a fluffy albino cat with long white fur sits upright. Its round, calm eyes are bright with curiosity. The cat shares the woman’s celebratory mood, glancing between her and the figure on the right, tail neatly curled.
On the right, a Vulcan sits in seiza, perfectly composed. He wears traditional Vulcan attire: long, flowing robes in muted earth tones, with structured lines and a high collar, conveying restraint and logic. His posture is straight, hands resting calmly on his knees, expression serene and analytical.
The woman and the cat look at the Vulcan expectantly as he delivers a formal New Year’s message.
Speech bubble (Vulcan, calm and precise):
“Greetings.
As your star approaches a new orbital cycle, it is statistically appropriate to offer a wish.
May the coming year present an optimal balance between rational decisions and unforeseen events.
May chaotic variables remain within manageable limits.
May your choices maximize collective well-being with minimal expenditure of emotional energy.
Remember: the passage of time does not require hope, but clarity of thought.
Growth is not a desire — it is the logical consequence of learning.
Live long and prosper.”
The woman beams with delight, the cat nods solemnly as if impressed by the logic.
Inside the panel, neatly placed at the bottom, a caption reads:
