Storm Over the Medieval Castle: Concept Art Scene

An epic, cinematic concept art scene of a storm raging around a colossal medieval castle perched on a jagged cliff. External view: dark, swirling storm clouds, blue-white lightning tearing the sky, rain lashing stone walls, banners snapping in hurricane-force wind, gargoyles leaning into gusts, sea spray at the base. Interior hint: within the great hall, torches gutter and rain pours through a broken window, casting warm amber pools on cold flagstones. The composition uses high-contrast lighting, painterly brushwork, and matte-painting detail to convey scale and drama. Color palette of slate blues, cold grays, and molten torch-orange; textures on stone, wood, and rain are richly detailed. The mood is ominous, awe-inspiring, perfect for fantasy concept art.
