Dark fantasy illustration, heavy black ink outlines, dramatic rim lighting with glowing highlights, flat cel shading with gritty texture, a palette of void black, bone white, ember orange and ghostly teal. The attached base image is the base character. Draw 3 legendary one-of-one versions: complete 1024x1024 images with an opaque background, same character and style, each a unique full concept.

Keep EXACTLY the base's framing, pose and placement (head and body turned about 40 degrees so the face points to the viewer's right: the far eye partly hidden behind the nose, the far cheek narrower, one ear visible; framed from the crown (near y=110) to about belly-button height with the arms in frame; the body continues PAST THE BOTTOM EDGE of the canvas: the frame crops it at about belly-button height, so the torso runs straight off the bottom with no visible end, outline, rounded bottom or empty space below it (never a floating bust); arms relaxed at the sides, nothing in front of the chest; extra detail from the creator: head tilted slightly down, looking up from under the brow, a slow menacing stance), head at the same size and position, so they sit in the grid with every other piece.

The raised hand holds a signature item that fits each concept, fingers wrapped round it. a reaper made entirely of swirling smoke and embers, a gilded golden reaper with a jewelled scythe, a reaper in a neon cyber-cloak with a holographic scythe.
