A haunting portrait of Medusa, digital painting in dark fantasy style. The central figure features an ethereal beauty with piercing eyes, wearing an intricate metallic circlet crown with Celtic-inspired patterns. Her face shows a mysterious blend of beauty and danger, with high cheekbones and full lips in deep burgundy red. Living serpents writhe around her head in place of hair, rendered in rich olive green scales with detailed texture and subtle metallic highlights. Her long, flowing hair intertwines with the serpents in waves of deep cobalt blue with an otherworldly sheen. She wears an ornate neck piece featuring intricate metalwork and baroque patterns. Ancient Greek columns loom in the shadowy background, creating a classical yet ominous setting. The lighting is dramatic and otherworldly, with a soft ethereal glow illuminating her face while deep shadows cradle the surrounding elements. The serpents' eyes gleam with supernatural intelligence. The composition emphasizes vertical flow, with the serpents creating dynamic movement throughout the frame. The atmosphere is dreamlike and mystic, with subtle mists swirling in the background. Small details include delicate golden earrings and scaled texture gradually blending into skin. The overall mood combines beauty with danger in an oneiric interpretation of the classical myth. Rendered in a highly detailed digital painting style with emphasis on texture and lighting effects.
