The Last Guardian of the Dawn Citadel

Photoreal 8K rendering of a male solar paladin with radiant gold-white armor, sword glowing like compressed sunlight, pistol holstered at his thigh. Forward confident pose with cape lit by warm sun flares. Subsurface diffusion on skin, smooth but worn plating edges, lens-flare lighting, and atmospheric heat distortion. High-clarity detail, painterly-realistic but cinematic.
