cosmic gateway SN3138

A towering, dark, and intricately detailed structure dominates the left side of the image, resembling a colossal, partially decayed skull or monstrous visage. It's etched with textures that suggest ancient stone or metal, interwoven with glowing lines and patterns that evoke circuitry or arcane symbols. A bright, otherworldly light emanates from a point within the structure's eye socket, casting an eerie luminescence. A stairway or path, accented with pinkish-purple hues, ascends towards and seemingly into the structure's gaping maw.  In the foreground, a cloaked figure stands with arms outstretched, possibly in supplication or invocation, towards the structure. A second figure is visible further up the path, approaching the gateway. The backdrop is a vibrant turquoise sky that contrasts sharply with the darker tones of the foreground. The overall atmosphere is one of mystery, fantasy, and the intersection of the ancient and the futuristic, the earthly and the cosmic.
