A dark fantasy triptych featuring an old wizard with a glowing staff, a magical tome on a mossy pedestal, and a glowing-eyed direwolf in a gnarled, ruined forest.

Triptych Artwork: Three separate, vertical bookmark illustrations, designed to be displayed side-by-side, sharing a consistent grimdark fantasy art style. The overall scene depicts the ruins of an ancient, moss-covered library being reclaimed by a dark, gnarled forest. The art style for each panel is naturalistic and painterly, reminiscent of classic 90s fantasy trading card art, with visible brushstroke textures, dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, and heavy, atmospheric shadows. Panel 1 (Left - The Wizard): A grimdark, ancient and weary wizard with a long grey beard and heavy, textured dark robes stands on the left. He holds a gnarled staff with a subtle magical glow, looking towards the center panel. He is surrounded by fallen masonry and twisted roots. Panel 2 (Center - The Tome): The central panel features an ancient, weathered tome, bound in dark leather and subtly glowing with arcane energy. It rests on a moss-covered stone altar or pedestal in the heart of the ruined library, with collapsed bookshelves and intertwining tree roots forming the background. Panel 3 (Right - The Forest Creature): The right-hand panel shows a majestic, grimdark direwolf. Its fur is shaggy and dark, its eyes glow with an ancient intelligence, and it stands alert, partially obscured by heavy foliage and gnarled roots, gazing towards the central tome. The creature should appear organic and powerful, not cartoonish. See more
