Art style: Cinematic Realistic. Close-up of Klaus Mikaelson looking directly ahead, his signature charismatic and dangerous smirk. Deep shadows, dramatic lighting. Realistic TV series photography, The Vampire Diaries and The Originals universe style. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Realistic" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Cinematic Realistic". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Cinematic Realistic" idiom, not in any other medium. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Клаус: Мужчина около 30-35 лет с овальным лицом и волевым подбородком. У него светлая кожа, короткие волнистые волосы темно-русого цвета и проницательные серо-голубые глаза. Телосложение подтянутое и атлетичное. Он одет в черную куртку поверх темной рубашки, на шее — кожаный шнурок с треугольным металлическим кулоном. На лице легкая щетина и хитрая, уверенная ухмылка, создающая образ обаятельного, но опасного человека. Поза расслабленная, взгляд направлен чуть в сторону.
