Dwarf Alchemist in a Glowing Potion Shop

An anime-style dwarf with a thick braided copper beard, patched leather apron, and round goggles stands behind a weathered wooden counter in a bustling potion shop. The shop is packed with glass bottles of all shapes and sizes, glowing liquids in emerald, amethyst, and amber; shelves overflow with herbs and dried roots; a bubbling cauldron sends warm steam into the air. Soft amber lanterns cast a golden glow that gleams on glass and brass fittings. The dwarf holds up a bright vial with a curious grin, one eyebrow raised, as if offering a potion or explaining its effects. Floating motes of light, faint runes etched into shelves, and a tiny familiar perched on a shelf add charm. The scene uses dynamic anime styling with crisp cel-shading, expressive eyes, wind-swept hair, and a slightly low camera angle to emphasize sturdiness. Color palette blends earthy browns, brass, and vivid potion hues like green, blue, and purple; textures include wood grain, glass reflections, and rising steam.
