Art style: Dark Comic. Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright and centered — Stepan, a broad-shouldered bogatyr-like bartender in his late thirties. He is tall and powerfully built, with a thick barrel chest, heavy muscled arms and large calloused hands. His hair is bright coppery-red, thick and slightly wavy, swept back, matched by a short well-trimmed red beard and moustache. Fair, ruddy skin with faint freckles across his cheeks; calm, steady grey-blue eyes and a serene, unshakeable expression. He wears a rugged brown leather apron over a rolled-sleeve cream linen shirt, dark canvas trousers and a wide belt with a brass buckle, ending in sturdy worn leather boots. He stands quietly behind a warm wooden tavern counter, one hand resting on a polished tankard, lamplight glowing softly around him. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image in the following art style: dark graphic-novel illustration — gritty comic book art style, heavy black inking, bold outlines, detailed cross-hatching and dramatic shading. Exaggerated character features, intense expressions, deep wrinkles, highly defined musculature. High contrast lighting. Desaturated grim background colors (grays, browns) with stark contrasting pop-color elements. Satirical and edgy atmosphere, masterpiece comic art. Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
