A skeletal rider on a horse made of grey bones and tangled black reeds, wading through a flooded swamp at dusk, with a tall antlered raven skull in place of the rider's face. Tattered green cloth hangs from his shoulders, and a long rusted spear carries a single glowing red lantern at its tip, throwing wavering reflections across the black water. Dead trees rise on either side, draped in pale moss and thin hanging chains, and small wisps of teal light drift between the branches. Murky green, soot black and warm lantern red palette. Gothic dark fantasy illustration, rich water and bone texture, moody atmosphere, vertical composition.
