Lich Within the Drawbridge Gatehouse

An ethereal watercolor painting of a lich inside the drawbridge gatehouse of a ruined medieval castle. The half-open drawbridge descends over a misty moat. In the gatehouse window, a gaunt lich in tattered black robes leans over an iron lever that controls the bridge; skeletal fingers, hood shadowing a skull, eyes glow pale blue. Surrounding stone arches are mossy and ivy-clad; damp stones, lanterns shed amber light. Moonlight filters through a cloudy sky, painting the scene in blues, grays, and sickly greens. Soft washes, color bleeding, and feathered edges create a dreamlike atmosphere with mist swirling around the foundations. The lich appears as sentinel of the bridge, timeless and ominous, yet barely alive in a magical way.
