A photorealistic undead monarch adorned with a luminous golden crown and opulent necklaces, surrounded by a radiant golden sunburst headdress, his haunting white eyes devoid of life. The king's skin appears parched and lifeless, embodying an ancient and eerie elegance. Dramatic, high-contrast lighting accentuates the textures of his dry, cracked visage, creating an 8k portrait that captures an aura of regal decay and timeless mystery.
