A hyper-realistic, cinematic fantasy artwork of an ancient, battle-hardened king emerging from a shattered stone chess king piece on a grand chessboard, rendered with extreme sculptural realism. Use the uploaded reference image to preserve the subject’s exact facial identity, age, bone structure, beard shape, and likeness with high fidelity, transforming him into a legendary, terrifying monarch. The king is elderly yet ferocious, with deep wrinkles, piercing eyes, a long gray beard, and a furious expression mid-roar, radiating dominance and authority. He wears a heavy, ornate golden crown and richly detailed medieval royal robes with dark embroidered patterns, aged fabrics, and regal symbolism worn by war and conquest. His body bursts forward through the cracked chess king piece as stone fragments, dust, and debris explode outward; one powerful hand reaches aggressively toward the viewer, crackling with raw energy, while his bare foot slams down onto the chessboard, crushing tiles beneath his weight. Surrounding him are blurred black and white chess pieces, emphasizing scale, control, and inevitability. The atmosphere is dark, smoky, and storm-like with volumetric fog, floating embers, and dramatic debris; lighting is high-contrast cinematic studio lighting with a strong key light, glowing rim light outlining the king’s silhouette, and controlled fill light revealing ultra-detailed skin pores, fabric fibers, cracked stone textures, and dust particles. Shot from a low-angle, heroic perspective using an 85mm cinematic lens, shallow depth of field, razor-sharp focus on the king’s face and reaching hand, ultra-photorealistic materials, native 8K resolution, epic dark-fantasy realism, concept-art quality, commanding, brutal, and unstoppable. Avoid soft expressions, passive poses, cartoon proportions, modern clothing, distorted anatomy, or loss of facial likeness.
