Photoreal Sphinx in a Ruthless Blizzard

Hyperrealistic depiction of a sphinx (lion-bodied with a human head) carved from weathered limestone, partially buried by a raging blizzard. Snow and ice whip across a ruined desert temple; wind-driven snow swirls around the statue, frost clinging to carved hieroglyphs. The scene uses a cold blue-gray palette with dramatic, diffuse storm lighting; faint amber glow in the sphinx's eyes. Ultra-detailed textures: rough stone, etched symbols, ice crystals on the mane and cheeks, snowdrifts at the paws. Foreground features crisp, close-up snowflakes; background fades into a snow-choked horizon and ruined columns. Cinematic composition with the sphinx slightly off-center, head turned toward the viewer, stance of guardianship beneath the storm.
