Anime Serpent in a Quiet Library

An anime-style serpent with large, bright teal eyes and shimmering emerald scales, wearing a tiny round monocle. The snake is coiled around a wooden reading table in a cozy old library, looking at an open ancient tome. Surrounding shelves loom with leather-bound books, warm amber light from overhead lamps, and dust motes drifting through sunbeams. The illustration features crisp cel-shaded anime linework, soft gradients, and a cinematic, atmospheric color palette.
