Art style: Cinematic Realistic.
A medium shot inside a snow-filled trench. Several soldiers are leaning against the frozen earth, firing rifles and a heavy machine gun. Spent brass casings are flying through the air, and small clouds of muzzle smoke drift away in the wind. The soldiers' faces are grim and covered in frost. The environment is harsh, cold, and claustrophobic.

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):
- Nikolai: A man in his thirties with a rugged, weathered face and a thick, frozen beard. His eyes are bloodshot and sunken from exhaustion. He has a heavy, solid build and wears a thick brown wool greatcoat with a leather belt and a fur-lined hat. He is hunched over a heavy machine gun, his hands trembling slightly from the cold. The setting is a deep, muddy trench filled with white snow, spent shells, and the hazy smoke of nearby explosions.
