Art style: Dark Comic.
A medium shot of the soldier turning his head slowly, his mask illuminated by a sudden flash of volcanic lightning. The leaves around him are moving in a sudden, sharp wind. Ash and debris swirl through the air. The soldier's hand is on the grip of his rifle, knuckles white. The color palette is cold teal and hot orange.

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:
dark graphic-novel illustration — gritty comic book art style, heavy black inking, bold outlines, detailed cross-hatching and dramatic shading. Exaggerated character features, intense expressions, deep wrinkles, highly defined musculature. High contrast lighting. Desaturated grim background colors (grays, browns) with stark contrasting pop-color elements. Satirical and edgy atmosphere, masterpiece comic art.
Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
