Image Description

Skeletal monks cloaked in deep purple robes stand silently within a cavernous, skull-lined hall. They carry cracked, glowing lanterns emitting greenish fire, illuminating the eerie environment with vibrant saturated colors. The scene evokes a dark fantasy mood reminiscent of a retro 1980s film with Panavision-style lens flares, film grain, and high contrast shadows. Bold ink lines define the form of the monks against a watercolor wash background of aged, orange-hued paper, blending nostalgic and dreamcore elements. The atmosphere feels ritualistic and calm but laden with dread, underscored by a massive, eroded statue of a forgotten saint at the hall's end, its purple eyes burning intensely.
