Service de Thé du Majordome Gothique

Vertical anime-realistic illustration of an aristocratic gothic-style male butler in an opulent Victorian tea salon, captured from mid-thigh up in a three-quarter pose. The butler features tousled, layered [dark plum-black] hair with glossy highlights, while his facial features are hidden by a centered opaque square censor block in a muted skin-tone gradient. He is dressed in an ornate [silver gray] formal butler ensemble with a tailored long frock coat, waistcoat, cravat, white shirt, fitted trousers, and subtle purple silk lining. The outfit is embellished with intricate damask patterns, embroidered lapels, metallic filigree brooches, chains, and jeweled purple accents. His left arm rests behind his back, while his right hand holds a polished silver tray carrying three items: a porcelain teacup with saucer, a silver teapot, and a small matching dish. The setting is a dimly lit luxury ballroom cafe with dark carved wood paneling, chandeliers, warm lantern light, mirrors, blurred patrons, and golden bokeh. Cinematic dramatic lighting, rich fabric textures, reflective metals, shallow depth of field, high contrast, elegant dark fantasy mood.
