Art style: Dark Fantasy. A wide shot from behind Elena and Julian as they walk away from the cottage and into a dense, misty forest. The trees are gnarled and skeletal, reaching toward a dark, moonless sky. The cottage door stands open behind them, a small rectangle of warm light in the distance. The mood is haunting and romantic. Dominant colors are midnight blue, charcoal gray, and a faint, receding glow of orange. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Dark Fantasy" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Dark Fantasy". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Dark Fantasy" idiom, not in any other medium. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Elena: A woman in her mid-forties with a face marked by years of quiet sorrow. She has deep-set, expressive hazel eyes and long, dark wavy hair peppered with silver at the temples, tied back loosely. She wears a simple, high-necked linen dress in a muted charcoal color, draped with a heavy, hand-knitted wool shawl in deep forest green. Her skin is pale and slightly translucent under the soft light. She stands in a dimly lit room with stone walls. The style is a realistic portrait with dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, emphasizing the textures of her skin and the fabric of her clothes. - Julian: A young man in his early twenties, appearing as a spectral soldier from the mid-19th century. He has gaunt, hollow facial features and skin the color of damp parchment. His eyes are a piercing, glassy blue, staring forward with a haunting intensity. He wears a tattered, dark blue military tunic with tarnished brass buttons and a heavy wool greatcoat that is soaked with rain. His dark hair is matted and wet against his forehead. He stands against a backdrop of a dark, misty forest at night. The style is a haunting, atmospheric portrait with cold, low-key lighting and a desaturated color palette.
