Art style: Gritty dark comic illustration. A medium shot of General von Clausewitz from the side, hunched over a desk and writing intensely. He is in a dark room illuminated by three tall, dripping candles. The light is warm but eerie, casting long, sharp shadows. He holds a quill pen, and the paper before him is covered in dense, frantic handwriting. His face is set in a grim expression of concentration. In the background, silhouetted soldiers stand at attention against a wall bathed in red light. The room is filled with a sense of urgency. Textures include the rough wood of the desk, the wax of the candles, and the heavy fabric of the General's coat. The composition is angled, focusing on the act of writing. The mood is one of secret, world-changing plotting. The red light from the background bleeds into the foreground, mixing with the yellow candle light. Smoke from the candles rises in thin, straight lines. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Gritty dark comic illustration" style.
