Celestial rose and Gothic tomb
A vertical fantasy illustration depicting a skeletal figure in a hooded, deep purple robe adorned with 3D rose embroidery, standing beside an ornate stone sarcophagus. The skeleton gently places a bony hand on the skull of a deceased figure lying on the tomb, while holding a single red rose in the other hand, evoking a mournful, romantic gothic atmosphere. The setting is a ruined Gothic cathedral with soaring arches; a massive stained-glass rose window frames a vibrant nebula and starry cosmos, replacing the sky. Purple roses are scattered across the stone floor. A glowing censer emits misty light from the background. Lighting is cinematic and ethereal, blending cool cosmic blues and purples with warm ambient glows from the fire and window. High-detail digital painting style, reminiscent of dark fantasy art, with soft volumetric lighting, intricate textures on fabric and stone, and a melancholic, mystical mood. Focus on contrast between decay and beauty, life and death. Composition centers the robed figure slightly right, balancing the tomb on left, with architectural lines drawing eye upward to celestial backdrop.
