Art style: Studio Ghibli.
A burly man in his late 40s with a powerful, barrel-chested build and thick, soot-stained arms. He has a rugged face with deep-set brown eyes, a heavy brow, and a dense, charcoal-grey beard flecked with ash. His hair is dark and matted, pulled back with a leather cord. He wears a heavy, scorched leather apron over a rough linen tunic, with thick hide gloves. His presence is grounded and weary, illuminated by the harsh, warm glow of a forge fire against a background of dark stone and iron tools.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image in the following art style:
Studio Ghibli hand-painted 2D anime (Hayao Miyazaki look) — lush hand-painted backgrounds, soft watercolour-and-gouache textures, gentle pastel palette, warm natural daylight, clean confident line work, cel-shaded characters with simple expressive features. CRITICAL: EVERY element — characters, foliage, trees, animals, sky and the entire environment — must be rendered in this single consistent hand-painted Ghibli idiom. Do NOT mix in photorealism or 3D CGI; keep one cohesive 2D painted look across the whole frame.
Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
