A 2. 5D graphic novel illustration showing a colossal crystalline monolith standing solitary in the scene. The anomalous structure is made from a semi- translucent, cracked cluster of crystals, seemingly about to shatter into countless fragments, shining a bright, prismatic array of colorful light from its cracks, contrasting strongly against the dark background, like a neon rainbow in the night. The monolith is set on an elevated, mechanical platform within an expansive futuristic megastructure surrounded by arrays of devices, displays and machinery appearing to serve research purposes, interconnected by a chaotic web of wires and cables, monitoring the odd anomaly. The scenery is enshrouded in a volumetric fog, giving off a faint, foreboding glow, enhancing the unreal setting. Overwhelming threat envelops the atmosphere. The illustration's style is cel shaded, using sharp lines with dramatic shadows as well as intense contrast. The color concept is combining vibrant hues. <lora:dmd2_sdxl_4step_lora>
