Epic Fantasy Book Cover: Tiron's Split Portrait Illustration

A fantasy book cover illustration featuring a split portrait of the main character, Tiron. The left half shows Tiron in a realistic medieval setting, wearing a detailed knight’s armor, grounded in the physical world. The right half mirrors him but in the Alpiric world: surreal and abstract, where his figure dissolves into a network of branching tree-like shapes symbolizing the spirit realm. The Alpiric side should feel otherworldly — ethereal and dreamlike — almost like roots and branches growing from him. The entire image is in a striking black and white palette, symbolizing the worldview of absolutes (good/evil), but some of the branches in the Alpiric side should have subtle accents of red, blue, and yellow, barely visible, hinting at the hidden complexity beyond duality. Tiron's expression should be stoic, wise beyond his years, and reflective. The background should fade into white fog or mist to keep the focus on the character. Epic, symbolic, and minimalist.
