Art style: Grim Fantasy. Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright and centered — Ardek, a seasoned lieutenant of about forty, on the snow-dusted black-stone battlement of Tor-Erran tower. Weathered fair-northern skin, sharp cheekbones, cold grey eyes, a pale diagonal scar crossing his left brow and cheek, and a short dark beard flecked with grey. Broad, hardened build. He wears layered northern battle gear: a dark iron-scaled hauberk over quilted wool, worn leather straps and bracers, a heavy fur-lined charcoal cloak clasped at the shoulder. A longsword hangs at his hip, one gloved hand resting on the pommel. Scuffed fur-lined leather boots planted on ash-streaked stone. Stern, watchful expression, breath misting. Torchlight flickers against falling snow and grey ash under a cold blue-grey sky. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image in the following art style: photorealistic live-action cinema — indistinguishable from real film footage shot on a high-end digital cinema camera. True-to-life skin with natural pores and subsurface detail, real fabric weave and material response, natural light behaviour with soft falloff and physically accurate shadows, shallow cinematic depth of field, restrained modern colour grade. NOT illustration, NOT anime, NOT a 3D cartoon render. Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
