Thunderbird Over Ruined Citadel: Concept Art

Concept art of a colossal thunderbird in the ruins of an ancient city. The bird's plumage is electric blue and gold, with crackling lightning threading through each feather; its eyes glow like molten sun. It soars above or perches on a crumbling basalt archway, surrounded by mossy, vine-wrapped columns, weathered statues, and relief carvings of long-forgotten glyphs. The scene is set at stormy twilight: dark clouds, rain-slick stones, and bright bolts of lightning illuminating the ruins. Cinematic composition with a low-angle view to emphasize scale, dramatic backlighting, and volumetric fog. Style: detailed concept art / digital matte painting, high realism with fantastical elements, painterly textures, rich reflections on wet surfaces. Color palette: electric blues, teals, bronze, amber highlights. Mood: awe-inspiring ancient power.
