Shapeshifter in a Blizzard: A Photoreal Scene

A photorealistic depiction of a shapeshifter caught in a raging blizzard. The figure stands knee-deep in swirling snow, wind ripping at a cloak and hair. They are mid-transformation, one arm elongating into a claw as their skin cools to pale frost, while the other remains human. Frost crackles on exposed skin and visible breath forms ghostly puffs in the icy air. In the background a snow-filled valley with wind-swept pines and jagged ice on rocks stretches toward a dark, storm-laden sky. The lighting is cold and blue, cinematic and high-contrast, with snow crystals suspended in the air and a shallow depth of field that keeps the focus on the metamorphosis. Rendered in ultra-realistic detail, texture-rich skin, fur starting to appear, ice-caked clothing, and dynamic motion of snow and wind.
