Prompt:
A lean, furtive gunslinger with a hooded, pulp-comic look — somewhere between a Western quick-draw and an urban assassin. He moves with quick, economical gestures and reads as confident and a little theatrical: always poised to draw a weapon, always framed by smoke or crackling light.
Head & face
He wears a deep hood that casts the upper face in shadow but leaves a stylised pale face or mask visible. The “face” is long and narrow, almost skull-like: a smooth, very pale surface with dark lines or bandage-like texturing that suggest ribs or wrapped cloth beneath the skin. His mouth is a narrow slit that sometimes shows teeth; his nose is flattened or minimal, reinforcing the mask/skeletal impression. Most striking are the round goggles — small, perfectly circular lenses with an intense red/pink tint and a dark rim. The goggles are held by a strap across the brow and give him a slightly mad, theatrical look. Thin, reddish-brown hair (or stylised sculpted lines) is visible at the forehead and crown, arranged in radiating lines, sometimes gathered or tied at the back.
Clothing & texture
He wears a glossy, dark hooded jacket — appears to be leather — that reflects highlights, with the hood up and the jacket either zipped or open to reveal the textured torso beneath. Under the jacket the torso shows a ribbed, bandaged or bone-like pattern that continues the skeletal motif. Tight dark trousers and sturdy boots complete the outfit. His gloves are brown leather, well-worn, covering the hands fully. A broad belt with a prominent metal buckle, holsters and ammo loops (or bandoliers) around the waist and thigh give him a practical gunslinger’s kit. There are additional straps and pouches on his legs and across his hips.
Weapons & props
He routinely carries firearms — classic revolver/pistol silhouettes with exposed cylinders and long barrels — and he’s shown firing and aiming with practiced ease. In one image he also wields a bright, yellow, sword-like energy blade that crackles with jagged light, suggesting either a science-fiction weapon or a visually exaggerated effect for dramatic combat. He sometimes holds a small smoking object (cigar or cigarette) between fingers, adding to the noir vibe.
Pose & body language
Dynamic, active poses: mid-stride, leaning forward, or arm extended in the act of drawing or firing. Fingers are deft on triggers; his stance is balanced and economical — someone used to combat and showmanship. Facial expression (what can be read through the mask/goggles) alternates between neutral and an aggressive smirk; overall he projects menace laced with cocky bravado.
Color & atmosphere
Palette centers on deep blues and blacks for clothes, pale bone tones for the face/torso, and vivid accents — most notably the red goggles and the bright yellow of the energy blade. Backgrounds in the pictures use swirling smoke, purple clouding, and vertical streaks of light, which heighten the dramatic, slightly supernatural or pulp-fantasy mood.
Design cues / overall vibe
A hybrid of old-style outlaw and stylised supernatural/tech antagonist: hooded, masked, goggled, leather-clad, and armed with both classic firearms and a luminous melee weapon. He reads as theatrical and dangerous — an antihero or villain who combines showmanship with lethal skill.
