Generation prompt

Characters and props look cut from corrugated board and folded: paper fibre and press marks on the surface, thick edges showing the layered cross-section, form turning on fold lines rather than curves; light raking across leaving hard shadows on the board, colour limited to flat process four-colour print, like a tabletop handmade theatre. Avoid glossy shading.
