The Lich Captain Afloat in an Airship

An imposing lich captain aboard a grand airship, painted in oil on canvas. The skeletal necromancer stands at a carved brass-and-bone helm, draped in a tattered ebony robe with glowing arcane sigils in emerald. Hollow eye sockets glow softly as he surveys maps and sextants scattered on a weathered wooden desk. The airship interior is rich with brass rivets, glass vials, steaming pipes, velvet curtains, and ornate bellows; external portholes reveal a sea of gold-tinted clouds and a setting sun bathing the scene in warm amber. Use heavy chiaroscuro lighting, thick impasto brushwork, and a muted palette of ochres, burnt umber, sienna, and emerald greens to evoke a 17th–19th century oil painting. Composition features diagonal rigging lines and a looming undead captain, with motes of arcane dust swirling around him as if he commands the wind itself.
