Prompt
Dramatic graphic-novel art with assertive black ink contours, angular shadow planes, fine hatch marks and sharply controlled cel-shaded planes. Faces are angular and expressive on natural proportions: strong brows, sharply lit eyes, a defined nose and jaw and deliberate crease lines; skin is cut into hard-edged light and shadow planes with gritty hatching, facial hair, where present, as fine ink stubble. Hair breaks into bold pointed locks, and animal fur is carved into hatched, mottled clumps. Choose the palette, time of day and setting to fit the scene, with a strong rim or practical light separating the figures from deep shadow. High-contrast light builds tension. No text or lettering. A wide graphic-novel scene of a blacksmith with a soot-blackened face and a fiery red braided beard, eyes ignited by the flames of his forge, dark workshop around him, forge flames at the left throwing orange light across his face and shoulders. No readable text, lettering, signs or logos anywhere; the picture fills the whole frame edge to edge, painted right to the borders with no blank margin, no checkerboard or transparency pattern.
Palette: forge orange, ink black and ember red; fierce, proud.
Wide 16:9 frame.
