Stern man in medieval armor, thick mustache, glowing monocle, and smoking cigar, arms crossed in a gritty candle-lit room. Photorealistic.

Create a realistic fantasy portrait of a stern, middle-aged man inspired by a disciplined military commander. He has a short bowl cut hairstyle with shaved sides, a thick square mustache, and a serious, no-nonsense expression. He wears a metal breastplate over a dark, padded undercoat, with leather straps and rivets showing signs of wear. His arms are crossed in front of his chest, exuding confidence and authority. The setting should feel medieval and gritty, with muted lighting and a slightly smoky atmosphere — like a candle-lit war room or an airship deck. Add a glowing magical monocle over one eye and a lit cigar in his mouth, with a faint wisp of smoke curling upward. The style should be realistic and painterly, similar to an oil painting or D&D NPC portrait concept art. Use warm, earthy tones for the coat and armor, with subtle metallic reflections on the breastplate. See more
