Floating Cloud Serpent: Concept Art

An enormous serpent floating through a surreal cloudscape, concept art style. Semi-realistic digital painting with painterly textures. The snake is formed from wispy mist and iridescent scales that glow softly, tracing a looping path among fluffy cumulus clouds. Its head is raised in a calm, ancient gaze with jewel-like sapphire eyes and delicate horn-like protrusions of light. The body undulates through the air, scales catching pale dawn light—shades of emerald, teal, and lavender with subtle gold accents along the spine. Surrounding clouds glow with a soft halo; distant misty mountains and floating rock formations peek through the haze. Lighting is directional from above-left, creating gentle shadows on cloud edges and highlighting the serpent’s sinuosity. Composition: a three-quarter view from slightly below, giving the serpent monumental scale and levitation. Mood: ethereal, enigmatic, awe-inspiring. Render in high detail with volumetric fog, subtle glow, and cinematic depth of field.
