Colossal living tree elephant guardian above misty forest

A hyper-realistic aerial view of a colossal, living tree-elephant, guardian of the forest, walking towards the viewer through a misty primeval forest, rising above a sea of clouds. Its body is entirely made of gnarled bark, covered in lush green moss, thick ivy and ferns. Its massive head and ears are formed of complex woody structures and patches of bark, all covered in lush vegetation. Its colossal tusks are carved from weathered, twisted wood, and its powerful trunk, covered in moss, extends forwards. Surmounting its entire head and back is the dense, lush and radiant canopy of a mature, sun-drenched tree, with a smaller branch extending from its flank. A miniature forest and rugged mountains lie at the elephant’s feet. Natural light, blue skies, distant mountains and an epic atmosphere blending photographic realism and fantasy.
