Photoreal Gargoyle Guarding a Pagoda

Hyper-realistic, photorealistic rendering of a gargoyle statue perched on the carved roofline of an ancient multi-tiered pagoda. The gargoyle is carved from weathered gray stone, with sharp Gothic features, moss and lichen in the crevices, and folded wings along its back. The pagoda features sweeping upturned eaves, ornate wooden brackets, and dark ceramic tiles, set in a misty dusk setting. Rain-slick surfaces reflect soft lantern light as mist swirls around the lower tiers. A shallow depth of field isolates the gargoyle in the foreground while distant pagoda silhouettes fade into a blue-gray sky. The image emphasizes texture: chipped stone, weathering, wet sheen, and the contrast between Gothic gargoyle aesthetics and Asian temple architecture.
