Noir Gangster Cartoon Cast

Create an original noir cartoon image for Northstar AI featuring an original crew of fictional 1930s nightclub operators. Objective: Design a dramatic period cast for a light crime-comedy concept. Composition: Five-character lineup with distinct silhouettes, period props and a smoky club doorway behind them. Lighting and material treatment: Controlled editorial lighting, coherent materials and a restrained palette suited to the stated medium. Typography: do not include any words, letters, numbers or signatures. Use a deliberate hierarchy, clean edges, realistic shadows where appropriate, and enough negative space for editorial reuse. Output a polished 4:5 vertical composition unless the user specifies another ratio. Required constraints: No real criminals, ethnic stereotypes, weapons in use or copied animation characters. Do not add watermarks, fake certifications, unreadable filler text, duplicated objects, distorted anatomy, or unrequested logos. Preserve any uploaded product, person, or interface as the identity reference rather than redesigning it.
