A gritty, hyper-realistic character study of a cursed Samurai. The subject has an unnatural, cyanotic blue skin tone, covered in sweat and grime. Its most striking feature is a third eye, realistically rendered with a golden iris, embedded in the center of its forehead. The two normal eyes are filled with rage and exhaustion. Its black hair is held up by grotesque hairpins decorated with shrunken heads and bone fragments. The creature is wearing a tattered, blood-soaked orange and red silk robe. In its blue-skinned hand, it holds a bloody, curved blade with a detailed hilt. Captured with a Sony Alpha 1 and a Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 GM lens. The aesthetic is raw and unpolished, mimicking a still from a dark, historical fantasy film shot on grainy Kodak Vision3 500T film. --ar 9:16 --sref 4517081602
