Prompt:
Ultra-photorealistic cinematic photograph of a single Viking warrior.
One man only. Full body visible. Head fully in frame. Identity locked.
A strikingly handsome Viking warrior, age 21–24, tall, broad-shouldered, extremely chiseled athletic physique with low body fat — deep muscle separation, etched abs, sharply defined shoulders and arms, visible veins and tendons, dense warrior muscle (not bulky, not bodybuilder).
Youthful but hard Nordic facial structure — sharp jawline, high cheekbones, smooth but angular facial planes, deep-set icy blue eyes, intense focused gaze.
Skin is tight, youthful, and realistic — visible pores, slight redness from cold air, no wrinkles, no aging, no softness.
Long blonde hair, partially braided, coarse natural texture, wind-blown.
Short-to-medium blonde beard or heavy stubble (young but masculine), sharply defined edges.
Ancient Norse tribal tattoos across shoulders, chest, and arms — knotwork, runes, ravens — cleaner and darker ink than older warriors, embedded naturally into muscle contours.
Wearing lean, form-fitting Viking leather armor designed for mobility, fur accents framing shoulders, worn but not decayed, authentic materials.
Holding a battle axe with confident ease, natural grip and weight.
Environment: icy Nordic fjord, storm wind, drifting snow and mist.
Lighting: hard directional side lighting with subtle rim light to carve youthful muscle definition and facial planes; cold cinematic tones.
Camera: 85mm lens, slightly low angle, heroic framing, razor focus on eyes.
Style: brutal realism, youthful dominance, historically grounded.
No fantasy, no CGI, no smooth skin, no stylization, no aging
