Prompt

A mythological harpy sits crouched on a wind-battered cliff above a roaring sea. Her form is a haunting fusion of woman and bird: a human face with sharp, feral features and wild, wind-tossed hair, piercing eyes full of ancient sorrow. Her upper torso is humanlike, muscular and lean, but her arms transition into vast feathered wings, tattered at the edges. Her lower half is avian, with scaled bird legs and deadly talons clutching the jagged stone. Feathers and strands of seaweed flutter around her in the stormy wind. The twilight sky burns with purples and reds, casting dramatic shadows across her face. A sense of old magic and danger lingers in the air – she is neither angel nor beast, but something older, untamed. High-detail fantasy illustration, evocative and cinematic, in the style of Luis Royo and Brom.

More about The Harpie Aello Overlooking Stormy Waves

The Harpies embody the storm winds and are the daughters of the sea titan Thaumas and the Oceanid Electra. Their number is uncertain, but no more than two are named at a time. Named among them are:
Aello, "Storm Wind,"
Ocypete, the Swift-Winged,
Podarge, the Swift-Footed. She is the mother of Achilles' horses.
Celaenus, the Dark One, who is first mentioned in the Aeneid by the Roman poet Virgil.
The sister of the Harpies is Iris, the goddess of the rainbow, wife of the west wind Zephyr.
