The scene depicts a surreal, high-fantasy landscape bathed in a vibrant, sunset-hued orange and gold glow. On the right, a majestic, winged lion rests upon a craggy cliff edge; its large, golden wings are adorned with a series of distinct red eyes. A waterfall cascades from the ledge beneath the lion, dropping into a misty, indeterminate abyss below. Opposite the lion, on a rocky outcrop to the left, a sleek, dark, serpentine creature with curved horns stands coiled, seemingly observing the lion across the central gap.
Between the two creatures, the background unfolds as a vast, arid desert punctuated by jagged, conical mountain peaks. The sky is filled with a series of floating, golden skulls that shrink in size as they recede into the distance, following a diagonal path through the air. Other small, crimson, bird-like or craft-like shapes glide through the hazy, pale blue and orange atmosphere, adding to the sense of alien scale and movement.
The artwork is rendered in a detailed, illustrative style reminiscent of classic 1970s psychedelic rock album covers. The colour palette is dominated by intense warm tones—burnt oranges, deep reds, and bright yellows—which contrast sharply with the cool, misty blues settled in the valleys. The lighting suggests an otherworldly, perpetual twilight, creating a dreamlike and ominous atmosphere that emphasizes the mythical nature of the subjects.
