Art style: Cinematic Realistic.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright, figure centered on a sunlit cliff-top workshop terrace on the Cretan coast, the Aegean sea and stone walls filling the sides. Daedalus is a lean, weathered Greek craftsman in his late fifties, sun-darkened olive skin, deep worry lines across the brow, sharp intelligent grey eyes, a short grizzled salt-and-pepper beard and thinning tousled grey hair. Wiry sinewy build with strong scarred forearms and calloused hands. He wears a simple knee-length undyed linen chiton belted at the waist, a worn leather apron with pockets of tools, a draped ochre wool cloak over one shoulder, and leather sandals laced up the ankles. He holds a half-finished feathered wing and a bronze compass, gazing anxiously skyward. No text.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Realistic" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Cinematic Realistic". 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 "Cinematic Realistic" idiom, not in any other medium.
