Neo-Noir Retrofuturist Graphic Novel

Neo-noir graphic-novel rendering: bold brush-inked linework with heavy spot-black shadows in the Mignola tradition, lit by modern cinematic 'teal-and-orange' duotone lighting. Near-black dominates as a value floor while one cold teal/cyan accent forms the environmental base in conflict with a saturated warm orange/amber/red focal light source. Rim-lit silhouettes, wet reflective surfaces, volumetric neon glow and rain or smoke haze; hard chiaroscuro that conceals more than it reveals. Fine painted detail held inside large graphic shadow shapes; dense vertical atmospheric depth. No readable lettering or signage.
