Mermaid in Redwood Forest: Comic Book Scene

A bold, dynamic comic-book style illustration of a mermaid in a towering redwood forest. Thick black ink outlines, vibrant cel-shaded colors, and subtle halftone textures. The mermaid stands on a mossy riverbank, teal hair streaming, a shimmering silver-green tail with iridescent scales, and a heroic, alert expression. Sunbeams pierce through colossal redwood trunks, casting warm gold light on ferns, moss, and a clear stream. Distant mist and depth suggest an ancient, magical forest; motion lines and splash effects imply she just surfaced from the water. Panel-like framing with a touch of superhero energy mixes with fantasy nature.
