Jovem gótico com deidade marionetista mascarada

Dark gothic anime illustration in a tall vertical 2:3 portrait format, featuring a strict symmetrical composition. At the center is a slender androgynous young man named [unnamed pale blond youth] with messy, medium-length [pale ash blond] hair covering one eye, a faint unsettling smile, and one hand raised thoughtfully to his chin. He wears a formal tailored black suit over a crisp white shirt, decorated with ornate silver brooches, chains, and dangling accessories rendered in delicate linework. Towering behind him is an enigmatic ritual deity or puppeteer figure draped in heavy black robes, wearing a massive inverted triangular metallic mask with intricate black markings beneath a crown-like geometric halo. A glowing white circular halo shines behind the youth's head, emitting radiating web-like golden threads against a background of black-and-white vertically striped theatrical curtains. Exactly ten blooming white spider lilies frame the scene: two near the masked figure's shoulders, two large blossoms at mid-left and mid-right, two small blooms beside the youth's torso, two large blooms at the bottom corners, and two smaller ones nestled into the lower foliage. Exactly eight pale, porcelain-like skeletal hands reach inward from the surrounding darkness at symmetrical heights. Ominous, theatrical, and ceremonial mood rendered in a palette of [black, ivory white, silver gray, and faint antique gold] with high-contrast rim lighting, smoky volumetric shadows, and painterly details. No text, watermarks, or modern objects.
