Art style: Dark Comic.
An extreme close-up of a giant, glowing yellow eye with a vertical slit pupil. The eye is surrounded by rough, dark green and brown scales. Reflecting in the eye is the tiny, terrified silhouette of the soldier. The lighting is dramatic, with the eye illuminated by a shaft of orange light. The mood is one of ultimate confrontation.

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.
