구부정한 고대 생물이 가느다란 실로 작은 나무 마리오네트를 조종한다

Studio portrait photograph of a practical creature-effects character, a hunched ancient being with an elongated bald slate-grey skull, deeply wrinkled skin, sunken dark eyes, thin lips. From each of its long skeletal fingers run fine black strings down to a small hand-carved wooden marionette that is an exact miniature of itself. It looks down at the puppet with a tender, unsettling expression, making the puppet bow. Draped oxblood silk with faint gold brocade around its hips, one heavy bronze earring. Plain grey seamless backdrop, one large soft key light from front-left, gentle cool fill, three colors only: slate grey, oxblood, worn bronze. Medium format, 90mm lens, f/8, whole figure sharp, realistic wrinkles, silicone prosthetics, no CGI look, no glow, no text.
