A towering purple dragon with a menacing yet strangely gentle appearance due to its large, kind blue eyes lounges comfortably in a vintage armchair. Its back is lined with gleaming spikes, and plumes of smoke curl up from a cigarette perched casually between its lips. The scene is set in a retro-futuristic world, illuminated by cinematic lighting that casts dramatic shadows across the room. The dragon is engrossed in a holographic newspaper, its attention captured by the headlines, giving the whole setup a unique blend of menace and charm, as though from a whimsical, old-school cartoon with a futuristic twist.
