Character from a fantasy novel prompts

4 months ago

A full-length, hyper-detailed dark fantasy illustration in the Alex Ross style, depicting a powerful alien guardian with luminous yellow skin, curved black horns, and piercing green eyes. The alien leans protectively over a sleeping boy, cradling him gently as if shielding him from unseen horrors. Behind them, a monstrous demon with jagged wings and glowing red eyes emerges from the shadows, poised to strike. The background is a nightmarish landscape of smoldering ruins and collapsing towers, engulfed in smoke and flames. The scene is rendered in high-contrast lighting, with dramatic chiaroscuro effects highlighting the tension between light and darkness. Embers drift through the air, casting a hellish glow across the characters. The composition evokes a sense of looming dread and heroic defiance, blending emotional depth with epic, painterly realism.Ultra-high resolution, perfect for graphic novel cover or cinematic concept art.
