Art style: Tim Burton-inspired.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright and centered — Grandfather Ivan, a serious old village storyteller in his late seventies. Tall and lean but slightly stooped, with a long weathered face, deep-set pale grey eyes under bushy grey eyebrows, sharp cheekbones and a hooked nose. A thick well-combed grey-white mustache and a short trimmed beard frame his stern mouth. Sparse silver hair combed back. He wears a faded dark-green woolen cardigan over a checked flannel shirt buttoned to the collar, patched brown corduroy trousers held by suspenders, and scuffed dark leather ankle boots. One hand rests on a gnarled wooden walking cane, the other tucked in a pocket. He stands on the porch of a rustic wooden village house at dusk, a crooked abandoned house looming across the dirt road behind him, expression grave and watchful.
