Infernal Dragon Knight Ablaze

An armored humanoid dragon stands dominant on fractured basalt, its ornate golden plate fused with living flame. Massive bat wings unfurl from its back, each membrane alight with orange fire, while a horned draconic head snarls forward, eyes burning like embers. A segmented tail coils behind, scales glowing from within. The figure occupies the center of the frame, wings spanning nearly edge to edge against a churning backdrop of smoke and darkness. Lava fissures beneath its clawed feet cast upward light that traces every rivet and scale with molten highlights. The palette is restricted to incandescent gold, searing orange, and charred black, creating extreme contrast between the radiant metal and the void. The mood is one of contained cataclysm, rendered with the theatrical intensity of epic fantasy illustration and the luminous precision of high-temperature metal photography.
