Werewolf in a Castle Courtyard — Comic-Book Showdown

An epic comic-book style illustration of a werewolf in a castle courtyard at night. Bold, black ink outlines and heavy cel shading give a retro graphic-novel feel. The hulking werewolf stands in a dynamic three-quarter pose, fur bristling, claws extended, ripped cloak billowing as wind swirls around weathered stone flags. The courtyard features torches along the walls providing warm amber light, gargoyles perched on ledges, and crenellated battlements in the background. A full moon hangs in a starless sky, casting silver light through pointed arches and creating long, dramatic shadows across the flagstones. Color palette: cool blues and grays for the castle and sky, contrasted with warm torchlight and the moon’s pale glow. The composition uses a slightly low camera angle to amplify menace, with motion lines and halftone textures to evoke classic comic-book art.
