Spiked green dragon resting on a gold coin hoard in a rocky cave

About this image

This atmospheric fantasy illustration shows a large spiked green dragon curled atop a massive pile of glinting gold treasure inside a rocky cavern, its glowing amber eyes locked on an armored knight standing at the edge of its hoard. Warm golden side lighting casts soft dramatic shadows, contrasting the dragon's muted sage scales with the bright glittering pile of coins. The stylized painterly art style evokes classic medieval high fantasy with a tense, anticipatory mood.
