Art style: Dark Gothic Fantasy.
A macro shot of the bottom bulb of an hourglass where white sand is falling in a steady, rhythmic stream, forming a growing mound. The lighting is warm and directional, casting long shadows and making the individual grains of sand sparkle. The dominant colors are bronze, tan, and warm amber.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Dark Gothic Fantasy" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Dark Gothic Fantasy". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Dark Gothic Fantasy" idiom, not in any other medium.
