Hyper-realistic image of a skeletal Charon wearing a tattered cloak and an 'I QUIT' sign, throwing his hands up in defeat amidst a chaotic, burning underworld with protesting souls, demons, and a lower-third headline 'CHARON QUITS! RIVER STYX IN TURMOIL!'

Hyper-realistic fantasy news thumbnail, satirical tone. Charon, the ferryman of the River Styx, front and center in a dramatic close-up, cloaked and exhausted, throwing his hands up in defeat like an overworked employee who’s had enough. His face is ancient, cracked, and deadpan-angry, eyes rolled in frustration. Around his neck hangs a crude cardboard sign reading “I QUIT.” Behind him: total underworld workplace chaos — souls protesting with picket signs (“NO PAY,” “ON STRIKE,” “NO BENEFITS”), boats crashing, fire and smoke, demons arguing, paperwork piling up absurdly high. The River Styx looks like a polluted disaster zone. Comedic contrast between epic mythological scale and modern labor complaints. Over-the-top drama, cinematic lighting, shallow depth of field, sharp focus on Charon’s face. Spoof news aesthetic: bold lower-third headline style, exaggerated expressions, visual humor readable at thumbnail size. Ultra-detailed, hyper-realistic, fantasy realism, dark humor, high contrast, dramatic composition, absurd but believable. See more
