Dark Fantasy Castle Courtyard

Edited image: STRICT paint-over of this flat-colour 3D blockout render. Keep 100% of the geometry: every silhouette, contour, edge and position must stay exactly where it is in the source, pixel-identical framing and camera angle. Do not add, remove, move, rotate or resize a single object. Repaint only the surface detail and lighting INSIDE the existing shapes, like a hand-painted isometric storybook diorama of a castle courtyard. Art direction: dark fantasy medieval, hauntingly beautiful, gritty and weathered. DESATURATED, COOL palette - slate blue-grey, moss green-grey, muted ochre, dull terracotta, faded wine red. No saturated or cheerful colour, no bloom, no neon. Surface keys, repainted in place: - grey stone (curtain wall, gate tower, both round towers, chimney, well, steps): damp mossy ashlar blocks with carved joint lines, chipped corners, streaks of grime, patches of moss, faint arcane runes engraved into the wall face. - dark blue slate: overlapping slate shingle courses with soft edge highlights on the tower cones, gate tower cap, well roof, and the wall's slate trim. - red clay-tile roofing on the two houses: individual curved tile rows, weathered terracotta with lichen speckle. - cream timber-framed plaster: hand-mixed plaster with subtle mottling, dark exposed oak beams and cross-bracing, hairline cracks. - worn brown wood (doors, beams, stall frame, barrels, crates, bench, fence, well frame): visible grain, iron banding and nail heads on barrels, split boards, dull worn edges. - light brown cobblestone ground: hand-set irregular cobbles with visible mortar joints, scattered grass tufts in the seams, damp patches; plain and readable, no long cast shadows. - green areas: grass blades and moss; round tree canopies painted with clumped leaf clusters and volume shading, dark undersides; small flowering bushes with tiny pale blossoms; pink flower beds as dense clusters of small muted dusty-rose blooms with green leaves. - red wall banners: tattered hanging cloth with ragged torn hems, faded heraldic weave, dry folds. - iron lamp posts with orange lamps: riveted worn iron, small warm ember glow at each flame with a tight soft halo only. Lighting: soft overcast cool daylight from above-left; gentle ambient occlusion in corners and under eaves; SHORT soft contact shadows only, hugging the bases of objects. No long cast shadows across the ground, no harsh speculars. Style: cohesive hand-painted 2.5D game background, crisp storybook isometric clarity, subtle painterly brushwork, consistent one-palette look. No characters, no creatures, no text, no lettering, no watermark, no border, no letterbox bars, no UI. Keep the exact source aspect ratio and framing.
