The hollow eye sockets are deep voids; fissures race across the body and cloak, each crack threaded with ember light. No text or signage. Appearance & Materials — The entire being reads as cooled volcanic stone: cracked, pitted, and glassy in places with mineral grain and fine ash dust caught in crevices. The skull-face is fused to stone with hairline fractures, chipped edges, and matte bone-like lichen stains. The heavy robes resemble folded, tattered lava rock with flaked surfaces, sharp cooled ridges and soft particulate deposits along hems. Tiny glowing embers cling in seams and micro-crevices, some fallen as incandescent dust. Color Placement — Map the palette clearly: deep near-black char for the void background (#1b1b1d), muted umber-brown stone midtones for major surfaces (#2f261f), warm rusty core highlights on thicker crusts (#8c3b20), molten ember glow concentrated in fissures and inner mouth (#ff6a21), and a soft warm rim halo and spark highlights (#ffd89a). Lighting & Atmosphere — Dramatic, dim directional lighting from a low frontal-offset and a weak rim backlight that creates strong shadows plunging the eye sockets into pure black while riming stone edges. A faint internal glow emits from the fissures producing subtle subsurface bloom and orange spill onto adjacent rock.
