Valiant Valkyrie in a Volcanic Crater (Watercolor)

Watercolor fantasy illustration of a valkyrie standing in a volcanic crater. She wears ornate Norse armor with a winged helm, silver-gold plates, and a spear resting by her side. Her grand wings are spread, feathered and luminous. The crater glows with molten lava pooling at the base, steam and ash rising into a smoky sky. Render in soft watercolor washes: translucent blues and purples in the atmosphere, fiery oranges and reds from the lava, with edges bleeding and the textured paper showing through. Lighting from below creates warm highlights on armor while the upper sky remains cool. Obsidian rocks frame the foreground; distant mountains fade in the background. The mood is epic, sacred, and a little ominous, with mythic energy and dynamic diagonal composition.
