Gargoyle Guardian in a Moonlit Ghost Town

An anime-style gargoyle perched atop a crumbling balcony in a deserted ghost town at night. The gargoyle is a sleek stone creature with carved runes glowing faintly along its chest and wings, large expressive violet eyes, sharp talons, and folded bat-like wings. The scene shows a dusty main street lined with dilapidated wooden storefronts, a broken saloon sign, tumbleweeds, and cracked pavement. Moonlight spills through a thin cloud cover, casting cool blue shadows, while warm amber light from a shattered street lamp creates dramatic contrast. Mist swirls around the ruins, adding a haunting atmosphere. The composition is cinematic with a low angle perspective that makes the gargoyle loom over the ghost town, its cloak fluttering in the wind, creating dynamic motion with anime-style shading and vivid color contrasts of blues, purples, and golds. The mood is eerie, majestic, and protective, as if the guardian of the town watches over forgotten streets.
