Art style: Gritty dark comic illustration. A full-length shot of General von Clausewitz's silhouette standing in the middle of a dark, ruined street. He holds a long, thin cane or sword in one hand. The background is a vibrant, saturated red sky with thick, billowing smoke. The foreground is filled with dark rubble and debris. The lighting is harsh backlighting, creating a sharp, imposing black silhouette. A faint red glow outlines his figure. The composition is centered and powerful. Textures include the rough stone of the ruins, the fabric of his coat, and the wispy smoke. The mood is one of dark legacy and the enduring power of his design. He stands perfectly still, a monument to control. The contrast between the black figure and the red sky is extreme. The atmosphere is thick with the weight of history. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Gritty dark comic illustration" style.
