Wcol style. Fantasy. An illustration-style depiction of a row of armored Spartan soldiers standing on the front lines, their matte gold armor ornate and gleaming in the dying sun. The closest soldier is in a powerful stance, shield raised and sword drawn back, ready to strike. His round, black shield is accented with gold on the borders and center. He is standing in front of his army, facing the enemy. Behind him, a standard-bearer holds a red flag, its fabric flowing in the wind. Dust rises from the sandy battlefield, while dark clouds loom overhead. The sun peeks through, casting an orange and golden glow across the scene, reflecting off armor and weapons. In the distance, a mountainous fortress stands as the backdrop, adding to the grandeur of the battle about to unfold. The palette is rich with gold, orange, and deep blue shadows, intensifying the dramatic tension.
