Image: Painted paperback cover illustration in the style

Generated from: Painted paperback cover illustration in the style of Frank Frazetta's Conan and Heavy Metal magazine, late 1970s. Dense oil-and-acrylic painterly rendering, dramatic chiaroscuro from a single strong light source, deep crushed shadows, haze in the air, visible brushwork and palette-knife texture. Earthy muted palette: ochre, rust, forest green, blood red, cold grey-blue. Gritty brutal grotesque fantasy. NOT pen-and-ink, NOT cross-hatching or stippling, NOT line art, NOT woodcut, NOT rulebook illustration, NOT clean digital painting, NOT 3D render, NOT anime. No text, no logos, no borders. Chapel cultist: gaunt sinewy fanatic in heavy tattered robes, hood shadowing a hollow-eyed face lit from below by candle flame, clutching a crude bone fetish and a rusted sacrificial dagger, body coiled mid-incantation. Background: castle chapel, guttering candles, a cracked stone altar lost in darkness. Full body, facing camera, centered, square format.
