The Sorcerer in the Shadows

Ultra-realistic cinematic side-profile portrait of a serious bearded man wearing a beige trench coat, white shirt and dark tie, standing in a dark moody environment. The pose is identical to the reference — head slightly tilted forward, eyes intensely focused on his raised left hand which is held in front of his face. In his palm a glowing supernatural fireball burns brightly, flames rising upward and casting warm orange light onto his face and hand. The man holds a lit cigarette between his lips with soft smoke drifting upward. Dramatic dark background with floating sparks and light particles, strong contrast between warm firelight and cool shadows, detailed skin texture, cinematic lighting, shallow depth of field, 50mm lens, hyper-realistic, 8k, film-grade color, fantasy realism
