A dramatic oil painting with thick, textured impasto of a majestic, iridescent purple dragon emerging from swirling cosmic nebulae, its scales reflecting the colors of a distant galaxy. The scene evokes a sense of cosmic horror and awe, with dark, swirling clouds and scattered starlight. Elegantly detailed, the composition is reminiscent of an intricate concept art piece, drawing inspiration from Craig Mullins' signature style, blending traditional and digital techniques for depth and atmosphere, with mysterious symbols and ancient lore subtly woven into the background.
