Beaver with Lantern, Photoreal Calm

A centered, photoreal image of a full-bodied North American beaver standing on moist forest soil at dusk, holding an old-fashioned metal lantern by its wooden handle; the lantern emits a warm amber glow that softly bathes the animal and nearby ground. Medium: hyperreal digital painting / photoreal render with tactile textures; the beaver's fur is smooth, slightly glossy where the light hits, each hair subtly defined; whiskers catch tiny highlights. Scene: low, misty forest clearing with distant trunks and undergrowth fading into soft grey-blue mist, creating depth and calm isolation. Light and color: dominant warm amber from the lantern (#EAA648) contrasted with deep brown fur (#4A2F20), muted moss green foliage (#2F4F2F) and cool mist tones (#BFC8CC, #1B2633); light is soft and local, warm fill on the beaver's face and chest, faint rim of cool ambient light on the far side to separate subject from background. Ground: damp, textured soil and scattered leaves with subtle specular hints that reflect the lantern's glow — small pools and wet leaves show faint, accurate reflections. Composition: vertical 9:16 crop, subject exactly centered, three-quarter frontal pose at eye level so the beaver fills the mid-frame without touching edges, ample negative space above and below for the tall crop; keep horizon low to emphasize vertical trees. Props and details: worn metal lantern with visible glass, wooden handle gripped in the beaver's front paws; a few wet leaves and a tiny mushroom cluster at the beaver's feet to ground the scene. Atmosphere and mood: calm, contemplative, slightly magical twilight; no motion blur, stillness emphasized by clear, crisp fur detail and soft, diffused mist. Render look: high detail, naturalistic materials, finely rendered fur, moist earth textures, soft volumetric mist in the distance; avoid stylization — aim for believable animal anatomy and lighting consistent with a single small warm light source.
