Hyper-realistic oil painting of an African woman goddess with braided hair adorned with futuristic metal beads, glowing tattoos on her skin representing tribal heritage intertwined with technology. She's wearing a suit made of advanced materials that shimmer with iridescent colors and armored components, holding a high-tech spear as a symbol of her authority and defense mechanism.
The African Goddess rides on her four-legged metallic robot horse, which possesses a sleek silver and black exoskeleton, advanced sensors on its head, and silent joints allowing for smooth movement. The saddle is ergonomically designed, integrating with her suit, displaying HUD (Heads-Up Display) and navigation.
The background showcases an expansive vista of the crumbling ruins of a vast city, which is a mix of organic and alien architecture with towering spires, arches, and floating platforms. The structures appear to be made of unknown materials, glowing in places, with inscriptions and symbols hinting at a lost language. The sky is a cascade of purples and blues, indicating dusk, with two or three distant moons or planets in the sky.
In the foreground, a forgotten statue of an alien being, covered in moss and lichen, stands as a testament to the former inhabitants of this city. Deserted roads, overgrown with vegetation, lead into the horizon. Mysterious flying creatures hover in the sky, casting shadows.
The painting captures the contrasting ambiance of hope and desolation, with the explorer and her steed as symbols of resilience and progress amidst the remnants of a long-forgotten past.
Camera settings (if this was a photograph): Nikon D850, 50mm prime lens, ISO 100, f/8, 1/250 sec, with a slight vignette to emphasize the explorer and her steed.
