A moody graphic-novel style book cover illustration set in a snowy conifer forest at night, painted in deep blue tones with cinematic contrast. In the foreground, show exactly 4 human figures standing behind a low striped road barrier: 3 adults and 1 small child. The central adult is a tall broad-shouldered man in a dark winter jacket, holding the sleeping or limp child in his arms; the child wears a puffy {argument name="child coat color" default="purple"} snowsuit. To his left stands a teenage or young adult male with a backpack beside a dark parked SUV partially visible at the edge of the frame. To his right stands an adult woman in a dark hooded winter jacket, holding a flashlight that casts a warm cone of light onto the snow and the barrier. All faces should be mostly in shadow, unreadable, emphasizing mystery and danger. Place exactly 2 man-made warning elements in the foreground: 1 red-and-white striped gate blocking the path and 1 weathered warning sign on a wooden post showing a deer silhouette inside a red prohibition circle and slash. In the midground and background, fill the scene with tall black pine trees, a narrow snow-covered road or clearing, and a dead animal shape lying partly buried in the snow on the right side. In the far distance, show a rugged snow-streaked mountain under a star-filled sky. From behind the mountain, a single narrow vertical blue beam of light rises straight into the sky, acting as the focal point. Composition should be vertical, dramatic, and poster-like, suitable for a thriller or survival graphic novel cover for {argument name="book title" default="La Réserve"}. Style: detailed Franco-Belgian / realistic comic-book painting, inked outlines, textured brushwork, cold nocturnal atmosphere, subtle rim lighting, high contrast, ominous and suspenseful.
