A menacing dragon head with jagged, stone-like scales and fiery orange eyes emerges from dark, swirling smoke. This high-contrast, dark fantasy image emphasizes texture, menace, and a mythic mood, perfect for fantasy art, game design, or horror-inspired visuals.

Made a video from the dragon ... I am not 100% happy with it, but it is okay. ( I have not yet enough experience with the video models, to know, which one works best with which topics, made this one with kling-v2.1-pro )

Thank you very much 😊 like the dragon on the start image and on the end image is not 100% identical, the scales change, when exhaling fire ... but it makes it look like he is tensing his muscles ... so that's fine 😁

Thank you 😊 ... actually I used a starting and end image. I also tried only with the starting image, but the video turned out quite bad 😅
