Sphinx in Ruins: Concept Art

At golden hour in a wind-swept desert, a colossal sphinx statue rises from ancient ruins. The sphinx is partially buried in shifting sands, its limestone surface weathered and chipped, the human head crowned with a regal headdress. Surrounding it lie toppled temple columns, collapsed arches, and cracked sandstone walls etched with eroded hieroglyphs. Dust motes swirl in the hot air as the sun casts a warm amber glow and long dramatic shadows. The scene is rendered as cinematic concept art with hyper-detailed textures: granular sand, rough stone, weathered reliefs, and subtle inlays. Use a wide, low-angle perspective to emphasize scale and mystery, evoking lost civilization, quiet menace, and awe-inspiring ruin.
