## Prompt

```text
A dramatic dark fantasy anime illustration of a single samurai warlord in a powerful three-quarter full-body pose, centered and filling the frame, holding 1 unsheathed katana horizontally across the foreground with the blade angled slightly downward toward the right. The character has extremely long, wild, windblown {hair_color} hair streaming across the upper right of the composition, with ornate gold hair ornaments and braided details. Dress the figure in lavish layered Japanese court-and-warrior clothing: 1 voluminous white kimono inner layer with subtle patterned fabric, 1 deep indigo and purple outer robe, 2 black lacquered armored forearm guards, 2 elaborate gold shoulder armor pieces, multiple braided cords, tassels, sashes, chains, and gold filigree ornaments around the chest and waist. The sword should have an ornate dark hilt with red wrapping and gilded fittings, and a polished steel blade catching bright highlights. Use a low-angle, heroic composition with sleeves and ribbons billowing outward, emphasizing motion and dominance. The background is a nearly black textured void with 1 large circular crest or moonlike emblem behind the character, painted in distressed gold and shadowy navy, plus scattered embers, ink splatter, and fiery orange sparks around the edges. The palette is rich and restrained: black, deep navy, burgundy, crimson, antique gold, and ivory. Render in ultra-detailed painterly anime style with intricate textile patterns, metallic reflections, dramatic rim lighting, cinematic contrast, and a serious, regal, intimidating mood. Avoid cute styling, avoid bright pastel colors, avoid glossy plastic textures, avoid oversaturated sparkly effects; keep it mature, gritty, elegant, and highly detailed.
