Chevalier Face à l'Ours Cuirassé

Dark epic fantasy cinematic illustration of [Encounter with an Armored Bear]. A colossal bear monster lunges forward, roaring with wide-open fangs, purple-glowing eyes, and enormous metal claws reaching forward. The beast is armored head-to-toe in layered, blackened steel plates resembling jagged, riveted scales, featuring heavy pauldrons and a chest amulet inset with a glowing [purple] crystal. In the lower right foreground, exactly one lone human knight stands from behind in dark ornate plate and a tattered cloak, holding one lowered longsword and one raised kite shield defensively. Setting: a ruined gothic city fortress canyon, framed by exactly two crumbling tall stone tower walls on the left and right, under storm clouds with drifting ash, sparks, shattered debris, wet reflective ground, and eerie purple magical flames bursting upward. Low-angle heroic composition, dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, cold gray-black steel tones, violet luminous highlights, atmospheric volumetric smoke, sharp focus, no text, no watermark.
