vintage high fantasy illustration, visual style influenced by artists like Frank Frazetta, Angus McBride, Kentaro Miura, and other similar artists. High contrast, harsh lighting, midday scene. A pitched battle in the midst of a shallow river ford, with lush green grassy hills on either side. A force of knights in bright steel armor with golden embellishments, with red cloaks and insignia, their lances bearing crimson banners bearing golden lion sigils, storm across the river, weapons in hand. They engage in a fierce, swirling melee against a force of armored men-at-arms in yellow and green, as the river sprays up around their advance and the sun gleams off of armor and water alike. Chaotic, vibrant, cluttered scenery, that conveys a sense of turmoil in the combatants.
