Stellar Manticore: Concept Art in the Cosmos

Ultra-detailed concept art of a celestial manticore drifting among the stars. A winged lion with a mane like living nebula, fierce glowing amber eyes, and a deadly barbed scorpion tail. The creature wears elegant space-age armor plates etched with constellations, pulsating faint cyan runes. Surroundings are a grand cosmic vista: distant spiral galaxies, colorful nebula clouds in violet, pink, and electric blue, a gas giant with ring system visible, and a field of swimming comets. The lighting is dramatic: rim light from a bright blue star, soft interstellar glow on fur and armor, reflective highlights on the tail stinger. Perspective is a dynamic three-quarter view from slightly below as if ascending toward the void. Style: cinematic sci-fi fantasy concept art, painterly textures, high detail, rich color grading, composition that conveys awe and danger.
