A hyper-realistic digital painting of a scorpion poised on a jagged, obsidian rock formation at the center of the scene. The scorpion’s exoskeleton gleams in iridescent shades of midnight blue and copper, each segment catching the light as if polished by time. Above, the Scorpio constellation is etched in glowing silver stardust, its stars connected by faint, geometric lines that pulse with cosmic energy. A rich nebula of violet, teal, and indigo swirls in the background, casting soft ambient illumination. Wisps of golden cosmic dust drift across the composition, while subtle runic symbols float around the scorpion’s tail, hinting at ancient astrological power. Moody chiaroscuro lighting highlights textures and creates deep shadows, drawing the eye to the scorpion’s poised stinger and the celestial symbols overhead.
