Behold, a haunting tableau rendered in bold strokes and daring contrasts, evocative of the fever dreams of madmen and the visions of prophets unheeded. At its center stands a regal figure, draped in ermine and crowned with antlers of bone- white stag, her visage a mask of stern authority tempered by sorrow's bitter sting. She is the Winter Witch- Queen, sovereign of the bleak tundras and icy steppes. Once beloved consort of the Great God Pan, now forsaken and alone, forever condemned to rule over a kingdom of ceaseless snowfall and howling winds. Her gown, a riot of crimson and gold brocade, flows like lava down her statuesque form, pooling at her feet in a lake of spilled blood. One hand grasps a staff topped with a crystal globe containing a captive spirit, the other brandishes a sickle of razored ice, ready to reap the souls of the damned. Above her, a fractured zodiac wheel spins endlessly, its segments cracked and bleeding astral ichor. Planets align ominously in the obsidian sky, portending catastrophe unimaginable. art by Brian Bolland, British, comics, dark, empowerment, morality, pen- and- ink, portraits, realism, satire, beautiful, painterly, detailed, textural, artistic, aesthetic, intricate details, highly detailed, vivid, vibrant, EtherealGlow, glowing, ethereal
