A magical dragon made of fire with a dark background

A majestic, serpentine dragon crafted from living flames, its body a mesmerizing lattice of fiery tendrils and blazing embers, set against a rich, dark background that seems to absorb the light around it, with subtle, gradient-like transitions between shadows, in the style of Simon Stalenhag's dark, mystical realism and the intricate, hyper-detailed environments of Ash Thorp's concept art, with a hint of Loish's vibrant, expressive color palette, as if illuminated by an otherworldly glow, with deep, velvety textures and an almost three-dimensional quality, reminiscent of a high-resolution, 8K matte painting, perfect for a fantasy concept art splash screen, with bold, contrasting colors that seem to pulse with an inner light, as if forged in the heart of a volcano.
