Supernatural Warrior Digital Illustration

I’d like you to bring a supernatural fantasy warrior to life in a realistic, cinematic style. Picture a dramatic, dark backdrop where dazzling white energy frames a bold figure wielding an imposing axe or hammer, mid-swing. Shimmering golden accents should pick out the edges of intricate armour plates and catch the light in a way that immediately draws the eye. Flowing hair, careful shading, and smart composition are key: the piece needs to feel powerful and mysterious while remaining completely believable.

Scope and creative notes
• Style: highly detailed, photoreal yet fantastical—think epic movie key art rather than stylised anime or loose concept sketches.
• Pose: dynamic action, weapon raised or in motion to convey strength and momentum.
• Palette: deep shadows offset by bright white effects and selective gold highlights.
• Background: dark, minimal elements so the character dominates the frame.

Deliverables
- One finished illustration at minimum 5000 px on the longest side (300 dpi), RGB.
- Layered PSD or Procreate file so light, colour, and FX can be tweaked if needed.
- A flattened high-resolution JPEG or PNG ready for print and web display.

Before we begin, please share:
1. A few portfolio pieces that show comparable realistic fantasy characters or cinematic lighting.
2. Your estimated turnaround time and any milestones you’d prefer.

Originality is essential; I need full rights upon completion. If everything sounds clear, let’s discuss timing and jump in.
