Selkie in the Subway: A 3D Render

Photorealistic, highly detailed 3D render of a selkie standing on a rain-slick subway platform. The selkie is a female shapeshifter with damp, glossy hair, pale skin with faint iridescent scales along her arms and collarbones. She wears a weathered long coat that parts to reveal a shimmering seal skin beneath; a subtle tail fin hints from under the coat. She holds the coat closed with one hand while the other runs through her wet hair. The modern subway station is full of chrome pillars, glass walls, digital boards, and neon signage in cool blues and greens. Puddles reflect the figure and passing commuters; a train rushes in with motion blur and steam. The lighting is cinematic: high-contrast key light from above, volumetric fog, and blue-green ambient reflections on wet surfaces; skin rendered with subsurface scattering for a lifelike look; surface details include water droplets, wet fabrics, and glossy seal skin. The camera is at platform level in a 3/4 view, with shallow depth of field keeping the selkie crisp while background passengers dissolve into motion. Mood: otherworldly yet grounded in urban reality.
