tok_comic_noir A comic book style illustration shows a man holding a glowing alien artifact in a cluttered laboratory. The man, a scientist, is depicted from the waist up. He has fair skin, dark brown hair combed back with a slight left part, and a short beard and mustache. He wears clear-framed glasses. His expression is serious and focused, looking down at the artifact. He wears a white lab coat over a dark green collared shirt. His hands are visible, holding the artifact with both palms facing upwards. The artifact is a roughly skull-shaped object, dark grey with a pitted, organic texture, featuring multiple glowing green eyes and what appears to be glowing green liquid or energy dripping from its lower part.

The background is a dimly lit laboratory with various scientific instruments and wires. To the left, there's a desktop with a monitor displaying green lines and a device with dials. Wires connect the devices, some hanging from the ceiling. A piece of paper with text is partially visible, taped to a cabinet or wall on the upper left. To the right, another monitor or control panel is visible. The counter in the foreground includes a white piece of paper with green lines drawn on it, resembling a diagram or experiment. Another device, possibly a microscope or large lens, is partially visible on the far right. The overall color palette consists of dark greens, light greys, and whites, with strong contrasting black outlines typical of comic book art. The lighting emanates strongly from the glowing green artifact, casting a greenish hue on the man and his surroundings. The art style is reminiscent of a retro comic book, with visible halftone dot patterns in the shaded areas.
