Expressionist oil painting with jagged distorted forms, non-naturalistic colors and thick emotional brushwork. Thick impasto, visible palette-knife ridges, acid greens, burning oranges, deep violets and cobalt blues, faces rendered with bold strokes but still clearly recognizable, the canvas texture showing through in places. Stahrold is a tall, broad-shouldered young human man with messy short red hair that turns dark, almost black-red, at the crown, brown eyes and a slightly unsure expression. He wears a red jacket with rolled-up sleeves over a black high-collared shirt with white frog closures, a black strap running diagonally across his chest, a cream sash at the waist with a long cloth hanging at his left hip, bandaged forearms, black fingerless gloves, loose dark grey trousers and brown lace-up boots. His weapon is a large battle axe. On a jagged cliff above a raging sea at night, Stahrold stands alone with his huge battle axe raised against a storm that seems to take the shape of a dragon. Lightning cracks the sky in jagged yellow lines, the waves are twisted into violent green and violet curls, and his red jacket burns like a flame against the dark. His face shows fear and stubborn courage at once. His expression mixes nervousness and stubborn courage, the bandages on his forearms are slightly frayed, and the long cream cloth at his left hip moves with every step. The background dissolves into swirling, emotional strokes of color, every shape slightly warped, and the whole painting vibrates with tension and feeling. Stahrold is human with normal rounded ears hidden under the hair and no pointed elf ears. Tilted dramatic composition, intense color contrasts, no text, no lettering and no signature anywhere in the image. Only one person in the image, Stahrold, clearly recognizable. Highly detailed.
