Art style: Cinematic Nordic fantasy, photorealistic epic film stills, icy blue palette contrasted with forge amber, atmospheric naturalism. Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright, centered inside a dim Nordic forge. Torvald is a broad, heavyset Norse master blacksmith in his late fifties, tall and thick-shouldered with a barrel chest and powerful forearms. Weathered pale skin, deep stern lines across his brow, hard grey eyes set under heavy bristled eyebrows. Iron-grey hair pulled back, long braided beard streaked with soot. He wears a soot-stained charcoal wool tunic, a thick scarred leather apron blackened at the hem, a wide studded belt, coarse woolen trousers wrapped with leather bindings, and heavy worn leather work boots laced to the shin. A tongs hangs at his hip; one calloused hand grips a heavy forging hammer. His expression is grim and fearful, jaw set. Behind him, forge embers glow warm amber against cold blue shadows. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Nordic fantasy, photorealistic epic film stills, icy blue palette contrasted with forge amber, atmospheric naturalism" style.
