A low-angle, hyper-detailed tableau of the Mad Hatter's Tea Party, viewed under a dark, star-filled sky. The Mad Hatter sits at the table, his features not quite human, but constructed entirely from brilliant indigo and gold cosmic dust, representing the constellation Lepus. His top hat is a vortex of nebula, and one eye burns intensely—a specific star named "The Mad."

The Hatter is caught mid-sentence, demanding, "Why is a raven like a writing-desk?" As he speaks, his hands, which were merely starry, begin to shed their light, and the true form is revealed: the lower half of his coat and chair morph into coiling, dark serpentine scales, twisting around the table leg. The March Hare and Dormouse are frozen in terror. Above the table, a Raven made of pitch-black night materializes, its shadow falling directly over the Hatter. The entire scene is vibrating with the furious energy of a creature—the ancient serpent—who knows his time has been irrevocably stopped.

Style: Cinematic dark fantasy, astronomical realism, oil painting texture, emphasis on the contrast between the cold cosmic starlight and the dark, furious energy of the serpentine transformation.
