Prompt: Create a wide angle view surrealist portrait alcohol ink watercolor encaustic oil pen and ink painting with very light hues depicting a refined and elegant granite face made of river rocks smoking a cigar, etched and carved into the river rocks. Ancient. Nordic motif and Viking symbolism, heavy Viking influence, Fore lorn wide eyed stare into the distance. Fiords, runes, thousands of runes, runes everywhere, sunset, highly detailed, Nordic art and depictions of Nordic life and Vikings smoking a cigar, the appearance of eroding into or emerging from a rugged landscape. The subject's skin should have a neutral color tone with a granite, rune engraved texture. Eyes are captivating, with one visible eye having a vibrant ocean life iris. The lips are slightly parted as if exhaling, full and glossed in a bold detail. Cover the mid-section of their face with textured horizontal bands of runes that resemble weathered wood or peeling paint, adding an abstract element as if the face is blended into the degraded material. The overall image combines human features with an earth-like globe head that is half-revealing Nordic Winter mountain-scape, just as if a Viking village is phasing into the person's head yet is part of the sky. The globe aspect should have runic details merged with a moss or lichen-like texture, creating a striking contrast between organic and constructed environments. Add a backlight effect that casts a soft gradient from sea life tones to salmon pink, giving a dramatic and otherworldly quality to the composition. Surround the figure with a scattering of thousands of small runes everywhere resembling digital or tiny paint splashes to enhance the eroding effect. Maintain a balance between the surreal transformation with thousands of runes and the preservation of human attributes, considering the balance of colors and rune textures for an eye-catching, evocative image.
