A futuristic marine clad in combat armor stands amidst an apocalyptic war-torn landscape, locking eyes with the viewer. This 8k hyper-realistic portrait captures the detailed texture of his skin and the intensity of his gaze. The scene is enveloped in diffused soft lighting, with a shallow depth of field emphasizing his presence. Cinematic CGI lighting creates a dramatic atmosphere while maintaining sharp focus. Despite the vivid and lifelike rendering, the image purposefully includes low quality, resolution issues, and digital artifacts, adding a paradoxical layer of realism with visual distortions such as jpeg artifacts, and intentional imperfections. The marine's visage exhibits signs of wear and battle fatigue, yet remains unyielding, embodying the relentless spirit of a warrior in the face of dystopian ruin.
