Lion and child hug in warm 3D illustration portrait
Prompt
Vertical greeting illustration 9:16.
A premium, highly detailed CGI illustration on par with the best modern DreamWorks animated family films. Not a photograph. Not hyperrealism. Not Disney. Not Pixar. A richly crafted cinematic CGI illustration with a soft artistic stylization, incredibly expressive acting, luxurious, highly detailed fur, a warm golden palette, and the atmosphere of a modern family book illustration.
The main idea of the image is absolute love, trust, and a sense of security through a hug.
The main character is a huge lion, occupying 88-90% of the frame. The camera is positioned slightly below eye level. The cropping is very tight. The lion almost completely fills the image.
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT:
The main value of the image is the lion's facial expression.
It's not happiness.
It's not a smile.
It's not tenderness.
It's not calm.
It's not sadness. This isn't sadness.
Leo looks as if he's been unexpectedly hugged very tightly, and for a second he's completely frozen.
His face seems to have lost its usual expression.
His eyes are wide open.
The whites of his eyes are clearly visible above and below the iris.
The pupils are small, slightly converging toward the bridge of the nose.
His gaze is directed slightly downward at the child.
The eyebrows are raised high, almost horizontally, without a strong arch or a sad "house."
The eyelids are completely open.
The nose is very large, wide, and soft, occupying the center of the face and immediately attracting the gaze.
There is not the slightest smile on his face.
There is no feeling of happiness.
There is no feeling of sadness.
There is only genuine surprise, slight confusion, an inner pause, and immense tenderness.
Leo seems momentarily speechless from the unexpected display of love.
The lion has a huge, luxurious mane of a rich golden-red color.
The mane is very long, chaotic, airy, and extremely fluffy.
It extends far beyond the head in all directions, looking like a huge, soft cloud.
Every strand is clearly visible.
The fur is incredibly soft, voluminous, and cinematic.
The head is slightly tilted toward the child.
In the lion's embrace is a little girl, about 4 or 5 years old.
She is very small compared to the lion.
She is practically drowning in his enormous mane.
The face is oval.
The cheeks are
