Selkie in the Castle Courtyard (Comic Style)

In a moonlit castle courtyard, a selkie woman stands knee-deep by a shallow pool, her wet skin gleaming as rain falls. Her seal skin is draped over a weathered stone pedestal nearby. Rendered in bold, dynamic comic book style with thick ink outlines, high-contrast colors, and halftone shading. Ivy climbs the ancient stone walls; torches flicker and banners ripple in a night breeze. Reflections shimmer in puddles; a distant armored knight watches from a shadowed archway. Panel-ready composition: a close-up on her eyes, a mid-shot of her reaching toward the seal skin, and a wide establishing shot of the courtyard and castle. Mood: mysterious, magical, adventurous; cinematic, action-packed framing with dramatic lighting.
