A cinematic dark fantasy scene: a fierce pale warrior with long black hair and glowing eyes, mid-strike, driving a long sword through a gaunt undead creature in a snowy birch forest. The warrior wears ornate engraved leather and metal armor with a tattered red cloak whipping in the wind; muscles tense, face strained with grim determination. The undead is thin, blue-gray, ragged clothes, head thrown back, blood and mist spraying where the blade pierces. Twisted birch trees and broken wooden huts loom in the foggy twilight, gnarled roots and shattered planks underfoot. Cold blue-green color palette with subtle warm highlights on metal and cloth, heavy atmosphere, volumetric fog, falling snow, flying debris. Dynamic low-angle composition, dramatic rim and backlighting, high contrast, painterly realism with rich texture on skin, fabric, wood and metal, sharp focal detail on faces and sword, slight motion blur on cloak and spray for energy, cinematic 3:2 frame, ultra-detailed, epic, moody, high-resolution fantasy illustration.
