Eerie Landscape of a Snow-Covered Ruined Village with a Menacing Hydra

((wide shot)), ((snow-covered, partially destroyed medieval village)) with broken cottages, collapsed walls, shattered roof beams, and scorched timber scattered across the snow. Smoke rises in thin columns from the debris. In the middle of the street, a monstrous ((*two-headed hydra*))—*two snarling heads, two long necks, one massive serpentine body*—looms over the ruins. Nearby, *a trail of deep red stains* stretches across the snow beside a winding path of *human footprints*, leading away from the scene. Snow whips through the air. :: dark fantasy horror illustration :: ((ink and graphite sketch style)) :: ((hand-drawn look)) by *Gerald Brom*, *Ian Miller*, *Zdzisław Beksiński* :: (((gritty texture))) :: (((moody atmosphere))) :: *ancient*, *violent*, *haunting*, *cold muted colors*
