Golden griffin on ancient statue above endless desert

A majestic griffin with feathers like molten gold and eyes like ancient emeralds, perched on a crumbling, overgrown statue in a forgotten city. Below, a sprawling desert stretches to the horizon, punctuated by strange, monolithic structures. The sky is a turbulent swirl of deep purples and fiery oranges, with distant celestial bodies visible. A sense of awe and desolation permeates the scene. Style of high-fantasy concept art, dramatic lighting, epic scale.
