Dwarf Artificer in a Birch Forest — Concept Art

Ultra-detailed fantasy concept art of a stout dwarf artificer in a birch forest. Slender white birch trunks with black markings surround him while golden sunlight filters through pale green leaves, casting dappled light on the mossy forest floor. The dwarf wears worn leather armor with light plate pauldrons, a fur cloak, and a long braided beard. He holds a rugged hammer in one hand and a glowing rune-etched compass in the other, as if inspecting a partial, freshly forged piece resting on a wooden workbench carved from a fallen log. Surrounding him are ferns, mushrooms, and gnarled roots; mist drifts through the trees. Cinematic lighting with volumetric rays, deep but soft shadows, and a painterly digital-brush texture. Color palette of cool whites and greens with warm amber highlights. Composition: three-quarter view, dwarf in the left foreground, forest receding into the distance to emphasize scale. Style: fantasy concept art, game concept piece, high detail, matte painting, photorealistic textures in leather, metal, beard, and bark.
