Image: Painterly anime character illustration, clean line

Generated from: Painterly anime character illustration, clean line, soft cel-plus-gradient shading, semi-realistic proportions, medieval Arthurian. Full body standing, three-quarter view, relaxed confident stance, simple flat neutral backdrop. Subject: Duncan — a sixteen-year-old squire, Arthur's friend and sparring rival. Broader and more solidly built than Arthur, easy-going and a little cocky. Chin-length straight BLONDE hair parted loosely, level grey-green eyes, open honest face with a faint smirk. Costume: a russet-brown quilted gambeson jacket with a high standing collar and centre seam, worn open over a cream undershirt; dark brown leather bracers on both forearms; plain brown leather belt; grey-green woollen trousers tucked in at the knee. FOOTWEAR — critical: tall brown leather riding boots that FULLY ENCLOSE both feet, covering the entire foot from toe to heel to ankle, with a wide folded-over cuff at the calf and a visible sole and heel on the ground. Both feet are completely inside the boots. NO bare feet, NO bare toes, NO exposed skin below the ankle, NO sandals, NO foot wraps. He holds a plain wooden practice sword loosely in one hand, point down, resting. Lighting: warm afternoon key light from the left, cool ambient fill from the right. Palette: #8a5a3c russet brown, #d9d2c2 cream, #4a3b2c dark leather boots, #5a6b5a grey-green wool, #d4b06a brass. NO dither, NO cross-hatch, NO scanlines, NO text, no armour plate, no magic, no glow, no magenta, no violet, no purple, no plinth or base.
