Manticore on a Snowy Summit - 3D Render

Ultra-detailed photorealistic 3D render of a manticore perched on a windswept snowy summit. The creature combines a muscular lion body with a humanoid face, piercing amber eyes, frost-dusted mane, and a tail ending in a barbed scorpion sting. Snow swirls around, ice crystals cling to fur and whiskers, and visible cold breath curls in the air. The jagged ice and snow beneath, with distant icy peaks and a pale blue sky, create a stark, dramatic backdrop. Dramatic lighting from a low sun casts long shadows, warm highlights on eyes and muzzle, and a cool rim-light on fur. Render uses physically-based shading, subsurface scattering in fur, realistic ice textures, particle snow, and shallow depth of field for cinematic focus. 8K-ready realism, cinematic composition.
