Medieval Gladiator Concept Art in Arena

Epic concept art of a gladiator reimagined in medieval times. A muscular fighter stands in a ruined stone arena beside a looming fortress. He wears hybrid armor that fuses Roman gladiator gear with medieval knight elements: a segmented plate cuirass over leather and mail, leather greaves, vambraces, and a bascinet-inspired helm with a slit visor. A crimson tabard bears a heraldic crest and flaps in the wind. He wields a short gladius at his hip and a sturdy heater shield etched with a lion. Dust and embers float in the torchlit air as banners ripple. The scene is cinematic digital painting, high detail, painterly textures on metal, leather, and stone, dramatic chiaroscuro lighting with warm torchlight contrasting cool dusk, dynamic pose and sense of motion suitable for a fantasy game concept art.
