Character reference card, full-length figure centered on a plain white seamless background, neutral stance facing camera, even soft studio light, clean readable silhouette, textured skin and fabric (not airbrushed). Style: Cinematic dark fairytale: painterly realism, candlelight and firelight against cold blue snow, fog, old wood and stone, rich textures, shallow depth of field, 35mm film grain, the same faces and costumes in every scene.. CHARACTER Elias: A man in his late 60s with deeply lined skin, soot-stained fingers, and a thick, unkempt silver beard. He wears a heavy leather apron over a threadbare wool tunic. His eyes are a soft, watery hazel, reflecting the amber glow of candlelight. He is seen in a cluttered workshop filled with brass gears and flickering candles. The air around him is thick with golden dust motes. He carries an aura of quiet, desperate hope, his movements slow and deliberate as he handles delicate tools.. Everyone depicted is an adult. No text, no watermark.
