Thunderbird over Mangrove Swamp — Anime Style

An enormous thunderbird in vivid anime/manga style, perched on the gnarled aerial and surface roots of a mangrove swamp. The bird boasts electric-blue and molten-gold plumage, a tall crest, a sharp beak, and glowing amber eyes. Its wings are partly spread, with electric sparks trailing along the feathers. Surrounding scene features dense mangrove trees, hanging Spanish moss, tangled roots dipping into murky emerald water, and misty rain under a stormy sky with jagged lightning. Reflections ripple on the swamp surface, with neon highlights on wet bark and a cool palette of blues and greens contrasted by warm golds. Cel-shaded, crisp lines and dynamic motion lines convey energy and scale. Perspective from a low-angle slightly to the side to emphasize majesty and claustrophobic swamp atmosphere.
