HI metallic sculpture vertical study

The letters "HI" float as a freestanding 3D metallic sculpture centered within a 16:9 horizontal frame, poised to read clearly from a normal viewpoint and to serve as a signage or branding study with a calm, presentational mood. The letterforms are quoted as "HI" and rendered as thick, monolithic characters with clean internal spacing and balanced proportions, scaled to occupy a strong central third of the horizontal frame and aligned on a low midline for stable composition. Surfaces are brushed metal and polished edges with subtle lacquered insets, showing fine grain on broad faces, crisp bevels on rims, and a faint patina on recessed planes. The air is clear with a soft ambient haze that gives depth without obscuring reflective detail and a cool-to-neutral overall color bias. Foreground detail is sharp on the nearest edge of the H, creating a shallow-to-moderate depth layering that keeps the letterforms crisply resolved while the background falls into a diffuse tonal gradient. Light sculpts the forms with gentle separation and luminous rim highlights, producing warm glints in the gold accents and cool silver reflection across broad faces, and the palette echoes these tones with silver #C0C6CC, deep slate #1E293B, warm gold #FFD166, and teal #0EA5A4. Framing is medium-wide within the 16:9 crop, with generous negative space to the sides for graphic balance and with the sculpture slightly elevated above center to leave room for bottom-ground shadow anchoring. A single minimalist prop is a low, matte plinth beneath the letters that suggests placement without competing for attention. Render the scene as a polished photoreal illustration focused on material realism, crisp microdetail, and a calm, gallery-like presentation.
