A skeletal figure seated at a wooden desk adorned with arcane trinkets, illuminated by the warm glow of a flickering lantern; the scene reminiscent of an Eve Ventrue masterpiece. The skeleton wears a richly detailed, witchy academia costume with intricate embroidery and aged lace. The atmosphere is enveloped in a ghostly mist, creating an aura of mystery and deep contemplation. The scene is captured in a western-style portrait, offering an intense close-up that highlights the textures of bone and fabric, with the artistic craftsmanship akin to a ZBrush creation.
