Modern Anime Illustration with Golden Hour Lighting

A structured prompt for generating a vertical, ultra-HD digital illustration in a Modern Anime/Manhwa style. The subject is a young female character in a summer outfit (ribbed tank top and split-color denim shorts), posed leaning against a dark wall. The key aesthetic is a warm, nostalgic summer vibe achieved through golden hour side lighting and strong contrast.
