Extreme close-up cinematic portrait of an ancient, undead sorcerer-priest king, three-quarter profile turned to the right, photorealistic hyper-detailed CGI character design. Completely bald head, pale ashen-grey translucent skin stretched tight over a skeletal bone structure, deeply sunken cheeks, heavy vertical wrinkles and age spots covering the scalp and face, gaunt hollow temples, thin cracked lips pressed into a stern expression. Eyes are opaque milky pale-blue, blind and cataract-like, glowing faintly with an otherworldly supernatural light, no visible pupils, no eyebrows or eyelashes. Large weathered ears. Expression is imperious, cold, commanding — a being of immense age and power. Wearing a heavy dark hooded cloak/robe of black leathery fabric, with glowing crimson-red vein-like cracks running across the shoulder and chest, resembling exposed magma fissures or pulsing blood vessels embedded in the material. Holding an ornate gold ceremonial staff with a ridged, segmented finial, visible at the bottom edge of frame in one skeletal hand. Background: vast dark fantasy battlefield at dusk, a massive army of armored soldiers standing in formation in deep blur behind him, ancient stone steps and fortress ruins, a distant misty waterfall cascading down a mountain cliff, low fog, scattered torchlight. Lighting: dramatic moody cinematic lighting, cool blue-grey ambient tones contrasted with warm amber firelight rim light on the edge of the face, hard directional key light emphasizing every wrinkle and skin pore, deep shadows under the brow and cheekbones. Camera: shallow depth of field, subject in razor-sharp focus, background heavily blurred with soft bokeh, slight low camera angle to convey dominance and scale, anamorphic lens flare, film grain. Style: dark fantasy epic movie still, hyper-realistic skin texture, practical makeup/VFX creature design quality, 8K detail, volumetric atmosphere, desaturated color grade with selective warm/cool contrast, aspect ratio 16:9.
