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 identity reference (face, age, build and clothing only): - The Groundskeeper: An enormous giant of a man, nearly twice normal height, broad barrel chest and huge weathered hands, a wild tangled mane of dark brown-black hair and a bushy untamed beard flecked with snow, small kind dark eyes crinkled with warmth, ruddy wind-chapped cheeks, wearing a long heavy brown moleskin coat lined with shaggy fur, thick leather boots, standing in deep snow before a gothic castle gate at blue hour, lantern light warming one side of his face, gentle protective presence.
