A close-up portrait of a joker in the style of Christopher Nolan, showcasing an intelligent, serious, and calm demeanor amidst an uncomfortable atmosphere. Dramatic lighting highlights the emotional depth and hyper-realistic features in this intricate digital painting. Inspired by Milo Manara and Russ Mills, it captures unforgettable details and an 8K resolution. Despite its complexity, the image contains elements of distortion: jpeg artifacts, duplicated features, and subtle anatomical oddities like disproportionate limbs and a slightly elongated neck. The joker's expression is subtly unsettling, with nuances of mutation and blurred edges, creating an overall morbid yet captivating appearance.
