Thornwood Stalker Portrait

Generated from: Dark fantasy creature portrait, grounded, realistic and lived-in, never whimsical or cartoonish. Palette: weathered blackened steel, dark parchment brown, muted bronze, ash grey, with one sparing accent of dull gold (#c9a227). Low-key dramatic side lighting, deep shadow, tactile surface detail, subtle film grain, matte painterly finish, no gloss. One creature only, full body, centred, near-black background fading to pure black at the edges, faint warm rim light. Square framing. No text, no lettering, no watermark, no border or frame, no UI. Subject: a tall bark-grey stalker standing among dark tree trunks, long-jointed and wrong-proportioned, a thing that was a man and stopped being one, its hide jointed grey bark with visible seams, amber resin beading and dripping along those seams, no face, only a smooth knotted mask, very long arms.
