A regal woman in a flowing crimson hooded gown sits upon an ornate baroque stone throne, her eyes lowered in serene authority. Coiled around and emerging from the throne behind her rises a colossal undead skeletal dragon — its bony skull crowned with curved horns, ribcage visible through decayed flesh, and tattered leathery wings spread wide in a dark cathedral of bone and membrane. The dragon's wings are mottled in deep purples, burnt umbers, and faded blues, tattered and ancient. The throne itself is intricately carved with gothic scrollwork and weathered stone. The background is absolute black void, with wisps of dark violet mist curling at the base. Rendered in the style of classic high fantasy book cover illustration — think Frank Frazetta meets Alan Lee — with rich watercolor textures, detailed ink linework, dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, and a dark romantic gothic atmosphere. Deep jewel tones, highly detailed, epic composition, ominous and majestic mood.
