Castle Courtyard Scorpion Concept Art

A colossal scorpion, a fusion of organic chitin and glimmering bronze plating, stands in a medieval castle courtyard. Concept art, cinematic lighting, painterly textures. Weathered gray stone walls, arching colonnades, creeping ivy, and fluttering banners frame the scene. A cracked fountain sits in the center and dust motes shimmer in the air as dawn light slices through broken towers, casting long shadows and warm amber highlights on the creature. The scorpion's segmented tail arches above, stinger ready; its eyes glow amber. Subtle engravings and rivets hint at ancient technology. The mood is epic, mysterious, and otherworldly. Style: high-detail digital painting / concept art with dramatic perspective, low-angle wide shot, strong contrast, and cinematic color palette (cool stone tones with warm bronze and torchlight).
