Un guardián de la montaña con rostros plateados que coronan su cabeza alargada

Studio portrait photograph of a practical creature-effects character, a fictional folk guardian deity of a mountain pass, ancient and tall with an elongated bald skull, slate-grey deeply wrinkled skin, sunken pale eyes, thin closed lips. Around its head sits a crown of a dozen small hammered silver faces, each with a different calm expression. Heavy maroon yak-wool cloak, worn and dusty, a long wooden staff hung with small dull bronze bells held in one long-fingered hand. Head slightly bowed, eyes half closed, as if listening. Plain grey seamless backdrop, one large soft key light from front-left, gentle cool fill, three colors only: slate grey, tarnished silver, deep maroon. Medium format, 90mm lens, f/8, figure fills the frame, whole figure sharp, silicone prosthetics, no CGI look, no glow, no text.
