Manticore Sentinel in a Space Colony

Hyper-detailed concept art of a manticore in a space colony. A majestic lion-bodied creature with a human-like head, a fiery mane, and a barbed scorpion tail, enhanced with cybernetic implants along its spine and a polished titanium jaw guard. It stands regally on a sleek catwalk inside a chrome-and-glass space station hub, with rotating habitat rings, vertical hydroponic gardens, and neon-lit paneling. Behind it, a panoramic window reveals a star-filled void and distant nebulae. Blue and magenta neon reflections dance on metal, glass, and fur; soft mist from cooling vents adds atmosphere. The creature’s fur blends ember gold and obsidian, with faint bioluminescent runes along its shoulders. Pose is three-quarter view, ready and vigilant, as if guarding an archive or command chamber. The scene is cinematic sci-fi concept art: high detail, textured fur, metal textures, painterly yet photoreal finish.
