Alien Monolith in Desert Landscape at Dawn

3d render in rr artstyle of an immense, wind-weathered alien monolith rising from a desert plain at dawn, its impossible geometry contrasting with the soft organic dunes that surround it, captured at low angle with long shadows and sharp early sunlight emphasizing texture. A surreal, extra-terrestrial desert landscape stretches across the frame, the horizon dominated by a single impossible structure — the monolith, its sides not entirely Euclidean, its surface etched with slowly rotating runes that seem to shift subtly depending on viewer angle. Its matte-black material absorbs nearly all light, save for glowing bands of faint amethyst energy threading through the alien etchings. The dunes are marked with ancient wind trails, low scrub plants, and fossilized bones, all sharply defined by the grazing sunlight of early morning. The sky above is a rich gradient from deep blue at zenith to apricot near the horizon, scattered with wispy high-altitude clouds catching the pinkish light. In the foreground, crystalline rock formations protrude from the sand, refracting light like amber. A windstorm appears to have passed recently — fine grit clings to the monolith’s base, and swirls of dust still hang in air pockets near the ground. There are no signs of life or technology, only the solemn silence of vast time and distance. Despite its alienness, the lighting and shadows feel grounded in reality, with crisp contrasts between sunlit ridges and cool ambient shade.
