Basilisk in a Circus Tent: 3D Render

Ultra-detailed photorealistic 3D render of a basilisk inside a red-and-white striped circus tent. The serpentine creature coils around a weathered wooden ring post in the center of a dusty arena. Its iridescent emerald-green scales shimmer under warm stage lights; a regal, feathered crest atop its head and subtle gold trim along its spine. A hypnotic amber gaze fixates on the viewer. Surrounding the ring, gold-trim banners and suspended spotlights bathe the scene in dramatic, cinematic lighting. The tent interior features a sawdust floor, crowd silhouettes fading into the shadows, and decorative ropes and hoops hanging overhead. Use depth of field, volumetric lighting, subsurface scattering on scales, realistic textures, and subtle motion in the tent fabric for a dynamic sense of atmosphere.
