A skeletal figure sits at an ornate desk, illuminated by the warm glow of a single lantern. The setting feels like a mysterious, witchy academia, with mist swirling gently around. The skeleton, clad in elaborate, intricately detailed robes, exudes an air of scholarly wisdom. The environment is rich with textures reminiscent of classic western-style portraits, featuring books and arcane artifacts scattered across the desk. The close-up view emphasizes the delicate bone structure and the detailed costume design, with an ethereal, otherworldly atmosphere akin to Eve Ventrue's style, as if crafted intricately in ZBrush.
