A black and white dark fantasy comic illustration of an adult ronin kneeling beside a shallow river at dawn. He wears battered layered robes, a dark haori, loose hakama trousers, leather bracers, and worn sandals. His katana rests horizontally across his thighs. He kneels with one knee raised, elbows resting casually against it, staring down into the water. His hair is loose and damp, falling around his face. His expression is exhausted but completely calm. A ruined bridge crosses the river behind him. Mist crawls across the water while tall reeds bend violently in the wind. Small pieces of broken armor and torn fabric lie scattered along the riverbank. Rendering: almost entirely black and white, soft fog contrasted against heavy ink masses, coarse halftone, analog grain, rough paper fibers, dry-brush vegetation, scratched textures, stark reflected highlights. Mood: quiet, melancholic, introspective, atmospheric, post-battle solitude.
