Comic / Storyboard - Two-Panel Pastel Sailor Girls

Goal: Create a side-by-side anime color-variation test illustration of the same cute sailor-girl character concept in an ARIA-inspired canal city setting.

Canvas: Wide horizontal 16:9 image split into exactly 2 equal vertical panels with a thin white divider in the center. Soft pastel lighting, dreamy waterfront atmosphere, high-detail anime illustration.

Layout: Left panel shows one character seated or kneeling near the canal, facing slightly toward the viewer, holding a tall white gondola-style flagpole on the far left. Right panel shows a second variation of the character in a similar pose, holding a plush mascot. Both faces are intentionally obscured by opaque square censor blocks.

Subject details: Use exactly 2 sailor-girl variants. Variant 1 on the left has mint green long wavy hair, a white sailor beret with blue trim, a small white flower hair accessory, a white short-sleeved sailor dress with blue and gold trim, white gloves, gold brooch details, and a blue ribbon at the waist. She holds a white flag with a blue curved emblem, and a small raccoon-like mascot sits beside her. Variant 2 on the right has pink twin-drill pigtails with large blue bows, a matching white sailor beret with blue trim and a tiny wing-like accessory, a white sailor dress with blue and gold trim, white gloves, and gold ornaments. She hugs a round white-and-brown cat-like plush mascot wearing a blue bow and gold medallion.

Counted visible elements: exactly 2 vertical panels; exactly 2 main girls; exactly 2 opaque square face-cover blocks; exactly 2 mascots, one raccoon-like animal in the left panel and one cat-like plush in the right panel; exactly 1 tall white flag in the left panel; exactly 1 central white divider.

Background: A romantic Venetian/Aqua-style canal city with pale cream and blue buildings, arched bridges, waterfront colonnades, shimmering turquoise water, reflections, distant towers, soft blue sky, and tiny birds. Keep the background continuous in mood but separated by the panel divider.

Visual style: Polished Japanese anime key visual, pastel palette, soft bloom, delicate line art, glossy eyes mostly hidden by the censor blocks, ornate sailor uniform details, cute fantasy maritime aesthetic, high resolution, gentle bokeh and watercolor-like atmospheric depth.

Constraints: Keep both face-obscuring squares clearly visible and opaque, left block in muted beige-gray and right block in pale dusty pink. Do not add readable text except the simple blue emblem on the flag. Avoid photorealism, avoid extra characters, avoid more panels, avoid logos or watermarks.
