Realistic Gothic Skeleton Illustration

This commission centres on a single, striking figure: a skeleton whose bones are pitch-black, veiled in a swirling violet mist that feels like the very pulse of his undeath. He’s dressed to impress—Victorian coachman’s long coat, black vest with silver inlays, knee-high boots—and grips twin scimitars carved with hellish runes.

The piece must be:
• Digital artwork, delivered in a layered PSD (or equivalent) at 4,000 px on the shortest side so I can produce large prints.
• Realistic in rendering style: believable textures on bone, cloth, metal and the glowing purple aura.
• Set against a moderately detailed background—think moonlit cobblestones or a fog-laden alley—rich enough to anchor the scene yet subtle enough to keep the focus on the character.

I’ll provide prompt feedback and one round of minor tweaks is included. Colour-accurate export (sRGB, high-quality PNG/JPEG) and the editable source file complete the hand-off.
