Art style: Anime / Manga.
Anime realism style, dark gothic fantasy. The Elder, a massive imposing shadow in ornate dark robes, sits on a throne of jagged black stone in a pitch-black room. Suddenly, his terrifying crimson eyes snap wide open, glowing fiercely in the dark. Menacing, dangerous atmosphere.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Anime / Manga" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Anime / Manga".
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 "Anime / Manga" idiom, not in any other medium.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Elder: Anime realism, dark gothic aesthetic. A tall, thin, aristocratic male shadow figure. Dressed in heavy, richly decorated dark robes with torn edges. His face is pitch-black, with terrifying glowing crimson eyes and a hidden mouth. Not a horror film.
