Art style: Tim Burton-inspired.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright, centered in a vast candlelit coronation hall with gothic arches and armed guards blurred at the edges. An elderly, majestic king in his late seventies — gaunt hollow-cheeked face, deeply lined skin, sunken tired eyes heavy with the burden of long reign, a long thin snow-white beard and wispy white hair beneath a tall ornate golden crown set with dark jewels. Tall but slightly stooped, frail spindly frame draped in a heavy floor-length velvet robe of deep burgundy trimmed with tattered ermine, a jeweled chain of office across his chest. Long bony fingers rest on a twisted iron scepter. His expression is solemn and weary. He wears pointed embroidered court slippers on the polished stone floor.
