## Prompt

```text
Minimalist cinematic wide shot of a {subject} silhouetted in near-total darkness, standing on the crest of a steep grassy hillside at dusk. The samurai is rendered as a pure black silhouette against a {background_color} — no facial details visible, only the unmistakable outline of a kabuto helmet with two long curved horns (wakidate crest) sweeping upward, and a katana held low and extended outward in one hand in a ready stance.

The figure stands hunched slightly forward in a battle-worn, weary posture, tattered armor and loose fabric fragments breaking up the silhouette's edges. At the samurai's feet, a line of small flames and glowing orange embers burns along the ridge of the hill, licking upward and casting no light on the figure itself — the fire reads as scattered molten flecks of orange and gold against the blackness. Faint wisps of smoke drift diagonally from the warrior's back, suggesting smoldering armor or trailing ash.

The composition is dominated by negative space: the entire lower third and left diagonal of the frame is solid black hillside, with sparse blades of grass barely catching ambient light along the slope's edge. The sky occupies the upper two-thirds, flat and moody with subtle film grain and a cold blue-green cast, completely empty of clouds or detail.

Style: {art_style}, minimalist chiaroscuro composition, cinematic Japanese historical fantasy, muted teal and black palette with isolated warm orange fire accents, heavy negative space, film grain texture, moody dusk lighting, in the style of a somber anime film still or Ghost of Tsushima-inspired key art
