Climb the broken stairs

Generated from: Side-on 2D game view, full body: a gaunt knight in dented tin armour, thin and long-limbed, wearing a battered pot-shaped helmet, climbs a broken wooden stair that spirals up the outside wall of a hilltop windmill. Three steps ahead of him are missing, leaving a gap of empty air. Below the stair, a dry stone slope drops to a narrow ledge. Above him, the base of a huge wooden sail sweeps past the stair rail. Wide orthographic side-on camera, the knight small against the mill, deep empty sky filling the upper half of the frame. Drawn in this game's art direction: Minimalist hand-drawn 2D side-scroller art; flat ink line-work, charcoal outlines of even weight on warm cream paper; muted rust-brown used only for accents; not photoreal, no 3D, no gradients — flat fills, clean negative space, silhouette-first shapes; subtle paper grain and faint ink-bleed edges; simple wooden and iron materials with visible grain, rivets and rope twist; soft diffuse overcast daylight, quiet dusk mood, long gentle shadows; wide orthographic side-on camera; palette limited to cream, bone, charcoal and muted rust. Everything is original: never draw or resemble characters, places or logos from existing games, films or brands (no red-capped plumbers, no famous mascots), even when the idea names one: take a named game's look and mood, never its characters, names or logos. No text, UI, HUD, logos or editor screens inside any image.
