Photoreal Gargoyle in a Portal Chamber

Photorealistic gargoyle carved from weathered dark limestone, perched on a carved stone pedestal inside a vast portal chamber. Gothic cathedral-like room with a vaulted ceiling, towering arches, and walls etched with runes and creeping moss. In the center are several arch portals, each housing a swirling, luminescent vortex of blue and violet energy that softly illuminates the surroundings. The gargoyle stares forward with chiseled, rain-soaked eyes, wings folded against its back, claws gripping the pedestal. Details: chipped edges, pitting, lichen growth, subtle wet sheen on stone from the portal glow. Dust motes float in the cool air. Lighting: rim light from the portals casts cold blue highlights, warm amber flicker from unseen torches, strong shadows. Perspective: camera is slightly below eye level, 50mm focal length, shallow depth of field so the gargoyle is crisp while portals glow softly in the background. Render with ultra-high detail, 8K realism, micro textures on stone, subtle weathering, and a moody, awe-inspiring atmosphere.
