A detailed illustration of an old dwarven blacksmith with a braided beard, holding a hammer over an anvil.

Darrak Eisenfaust, dwarven master blacksmith, male, 182 years (vigorous); short, stocky, broad-shouldered, grounded stance; dense gray hair slicked back; long beard split into two thick braids secured with darkened, self-forged metal clamps, a few singed loose strands; bushy brows, deep laugh and worry lines; skin with visible pores and ingrained soot; amber eyes; adjustable craftsman’s monocle with tiny scratches and micro-reflections. Clear blacksmith cues: hammer-callused, scarred hands; powerful, hairy forearms with old burn specks; padded linen tunic with rolled, slightly singed cuffs (coarse weave, diamond stitching at collar); heavy soot-blackened leather apron to mid-thigh with cut marks, heat polish, faint iron-oxide dust; plain leather belt with tool loops (chalk nub, small awl, tiny tongs). Holds a heavy cross-peen blacksmith’s hammer in his dominant hand at mid-frame—tempered steel head with fire-scale and subtle edge mushrooming, peen end narrow, striking face slightly worn; seasoned hickory handle with darkened grain and a simple leather grip wrap. Calm, concentrated expression; professional posture. Neutral seamless background; warm, forge-like side light revealing metal patina, leather grain, fabric weave, crisp beard strands, and fine metallic dust; tack-sharp focus on eyes, beard, and hammer; ultra-realistic detail. Avoid ornate armor, modern goggles, sci-fi, neon, text, or watermarks. See more
