Captured in the evocative style of Yoshitaka Amano, renowned for his contributions to the Final Fantasy series, a majestic phoenix in striking shades of black and red soars above an apocalyptic cityscape, blending fantasy with dystopia. This carefully detailed creature, adorned with ornate feather designs, exudes fire not only from its sweeping tail but also from its wings, adding a dramatic touch with smoke trailing behind, casting eerie shadows below. This scene, set against a background palette of light gray and dark beige, uses sharp contours and intricate details that echo the best style reference techniques in MidJourney, making it an ideal depiction for a fantasy book cover design. The small flame symbol embedded in one of the wings of the phoenix further enhances the mystique and powerful essence of this legendary bird, reflecting a fantasy ecosystem amidst a steampunk city backdrop.
