Art style: Studio Ghibli. A dimly lit, soot-stained medieval forge with heavy stone walls and a massive glowing hearth. A sturdy wooden workbench is cluttered with iron tongs and hammers. Orange and red light from the furnace illuminates the workspace, casting long, dancing shadows. A medium close-up shot focuses on a glowing orange steel blade resting on an anvil. The color palette consists of fiery oranges, deep charcoal, and ember reds. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Alaric the Blacksmith: 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.
