Viking King rising from slick obsidian mud, wearing a menacing dark iron helmet adorned with prominent ebony horns; intense warpaint streaked across his face, a rugged coal-black beard framing his fierce glare; a battle-hardened scar accentuates his furious expression; clutching a mighty Viking Axe. The scene is enveloped in cinematic lighting, with ethereal volumetric rays cutting through the atmosphere, as mud drips dramatically from his weathered form.
