A brutal, battle-hardened knight’s eyes under a cracked and scorched helmet, gripping the hilt of a massive sword with one hand. His eyes glow dimly with grim determination. The sword’s oversized blade is partially visible, gleaming ominously, with flashes of deep red highlights glinting along the edges, adding an eerie, fiery aura. The knight's hand, rough and scarred, clasps the grip tightly, showing the strength required to wield such a weapon. Reddish tones emphasize the wear and tear on his skin, with crimson light tracing the sharpest edges of the blade. The ink lines are rough and heavy, capturing deep scars, wrinkles, and dust etched into his skin. His gaze is confident, menacing, with a slight, bitter crinkle suggesting hardened defiance. High-contrast monochromatic illustration with deep blacks and raw hatching, accented with vibrant red streaks that punctuate the scene, creating an atmosphere heavy with the weight of countless battles. nistyle, Studio Ghibli Dark Fairytale.
