Lich in a Mars Base: Photorealistic Encounter

A photorealistic render of a lich inside a Mars base habitat. A towering skeletal necromancer stands in a sleek, high-tech chamber, wearing tattered ceremonial robes fused with carbon-fiber armor. Glowing cobalt runes run along the robes and armor, and subtle blue energy crackles in the empty eye sockets of the skull. In one hand, the lich holds an ornate staff carved with Martian glyphs; the other hand is bare bone or lightly gloved in metallic gauntlet. The background shows a red Martian interior: glass airlocks, holographic consoles, robotic arms, and oxygen piping, with a view of the dusty Martian landscape through a transparent wall. Cinematic lighting mixes cool blues and warm reds, casting dramatic shadows on the lich’s bone texture, worn robes, and the reflective surfaces around him. Ultra-realistic textures, micro-detail on bone, fabric, and metal, with shallow depth of field to emphasize the lich against the sci-fi base.
