Weary and Stooped Villain

Viewed from a low angle looking up slightly, a weary and stooped villain, his face deeply shadowed beneath the wide brim of a straw hat, rests a hand on the flank of a tall-standing hartebeest with noticeably high forequarters and prominent lyre-form horns, their imposing figures rendered in flat areas of color and dramatically sculpted by cool, top-down hard light that casts strong shadows across a vast, empty expanse of a smooth color gradient, arranged by the rule of odds.
