Ronin — Early Game

Generated from: Refine this ronin character into a stylized 3D with bold graphic novel ink influences. Keep the messy black hair, dark samurai robes and single asymmetrical shoulder pauldron. Changes: remove the glowing eye entirely — give him sharp, heavy-browed human dark eyes with no supernatural quality. Replace the rune-lit katana with a plain, worn steel blade held low at his side — ordinary dark iron, simple wrapped handle, no glow, no runes. Tighten the silhouette: charcoal-grey kimono, frayed hem, raw iron pauldron on the left shoulder only, deep red sash at the waist, exposed right shoulder. Grounded intimidating stance. Art direction: bold black ink outline lines, cel-shaded flat shadow volumes, high-contrast blocking, graphic novel panel energy — not photorealistic, not anime. Palette: charcoal, dark indigo, raw iron, single red accent. Plain near-black background. Full body, slightly isometric overhead angle for game readability.
