A highly detailed digital painting of an owl perched on a gnarled branch during a fierce thunderstorm. The scene is dramatic, with bright jagged lightning splitting the stormy sky and illuminating the owl's sharp eyes and textured feathers. Rain pelts the scene, wind bends the branches, and a moody blue-purple palette gives a cinematic atmosphere. The owl is rendered with digital brushwork: realistic feather detail, wet sheen on plumage, and a subtle glow around the bird. Deep shadows, high contrast, motion in the rain, and a sense of mystery. Composition focuses on the owl as the central figure against a storm-dark sky, with electric blue highlights, emerald glints, and cool grays.
