On a rocky coastal cliff during a stormy dusk, a fierce Viking warrior stands tall, clad in fur- lined armor and holding a heavy, intricately engraved axe. Beside him is a large, loyal wolf with sharp, attentive eyes, its grey fur blending seamlessly with the rocky surroundings. Waves crash against the rocks below, sending sprays of water into the air as dark clouds gather overhead. Lightning illuminates the scene intermittently, casting dramatic shadows across the Viking’s determined face and the wolf’s muscular frame. The air is thick with tension, and every detail—from the warrior’s armor to the texture of the wolf’s fur—is rendered with masterful precision. ((watercolor painting style))
