Sorceress in the Tower: Comic Splash

An epic sorceress stands inside a towering stone spire, surrounded by spiraling staircases, tall bookshelves, and flickering torches. In bold comic-book style with thick black ink outlines, high-contrast lighting, and halftone shading, she wears a flowing robe etched with glowing sigils and a jeweled amulet. Her long hair streams as she raises one hand to unleash crackling blue-green magic that forms glowing runes around her. A stormy sky and lightning flash through a distant window behind her. Gargoyle statues loom in shadow; warm orange and cool magenta accents illuminate the scene. The perspective is from below, looking up with exaggerated foreshortening and dynamic speed lines, giving a splash-page energy to this pulp-fantasy moment within the tower.
