Viking King rising from the glistening black mud, his dark metal helmet adorned with imposing black horns. His face is marked by dark war paint and a jagged scar, intensifying his fierce scowl. A scruffy black beard frames his angry expression, capturing a look of defiant rage. Clutching a formidable Viking axe, his rugged form is highlighted by cinematic lighting, with volumetric rays cutting through the scene. The atmosphere is heavy and moody, as the mud clings to him, dripping slowly in the dim light.
