A fearsome figure of Death clad in full battle gear, mounted on a monstrous steed, exudes an aura of horror and darkness. The intricate design and details of the armor gleam under dramatic, photography-style lighting, with light rays piercing through the overcast skies. The scene is captured in a photorealistic, cinematic composition, with subtle cinematic noise adding texture and depth. Rendered with octane for a focused, hyperrealistic image, enhanced by VFX post-production and RTX ray tracing lighting. This masterpiece could stand alongside creations on ArtStation and CGSociety, presented in a striking 9:16 aspect ratio.
