Young sorceress with serpent god in ruined Slavic temple

Hyper-realistic dark fantasy oil painting on canvas, ultra-detailed, low-key lighting, dramatic chiaroscuro, deep shadows. In a ruined ancient Slavic temple, surrounded by gloomy coniferous forest, a young sorceress (14 years old) — a volkhv priestess — sits on a cracked stone altar. She has long, straight, soft golden-brown hair, pale translucent skin with visible pores and fine vellus hairs, and her eyes are half-closed in trance. She wears a simple linen tunic and a necklace of bear claws and amber. Her body is slender, with tiny breasts, a flat stomach, and long bare legs, her feet bare on the cold stone. Before her, rising from the cracked floor, a massive serpent — Veles, the ancient Slavic god of the underworld — coils its enormous black and green scaled body around the altar. Its scales are detailed, glistening with moisture, its eyes glowing with ancient amber light, its forked tongue tasting the air near her face. The temple is in ruins: broken stone pillars, moss-covered carvings, roots breaking through the floor, mist rising from the ground. The light is dim and directional, falling only on her face, her chest, her bare feet, and the serpent's head, leaving the rest of the scene in deep shadow. Rich oil texture, visible brushstrokes, canvas grain, no retouching. Painting style influenced by Andrey Yesinov (hyper-realism, sculptural precision) and Ivan Bilibin (Russian folklore illustration, decorative elegance). Fine art, 8K resolution, 2:3 aspect ratio.
