Basilisk in Castle Gardens - Digital Fantasy Art

Ultra-detailed digital painting of a colossal basilisk in a serene castle garden at golden hour. A serpentine creature with shimmering emerald-green scales, a muscular body, and a dragon-like head with subtle horns. Its amber eyes glow with dangerous petrifying power. It coils among precisely trimmed hedges, ivy-clad stone walls, and a marble fountain, while distant castle towers loom in the background. Soft sunbeams filter through leaves, with volumetric light, mist, and gilded highlights. Nearby statues stand frozen in momentary poses, hinting at the creature's gaze. Style: cinematic fantasy concept art, hyper-detailed, 8k resolution, crisp textures, rich greens, golds, and stone grays, high dynamic range.
