Gargoyle Over a Hidden Lagoon

Ultra-detailed digital painting of a weathered stone gargoyle perched on a mossy ledge above a hidden lagoon inside a ruined cavern. Emerald water mirrors bioluminescent algae along the shore while hanging vines drape the grotto. The gargoyle's chipped wings are folded, its surface etched with faint runic carvings, and its eyes glow softly as warm dusk light pours through a crack in the ceiling. Volumetric beams cut through the mist, casting dramatic reflections on the tranquil water and highlighting textures of stone, moss, and damp air. A cinematic fantasy concept art piece, 8k ultra-detailed, painterly digital brushwork.
