Hyper-realistic photograph of an adorable baby dragon, extreme close-up portrait, macro detail. Enormous round expressive eyes with icy pale-blue irises, huge deep-black pupils, glossy wet reflections and a single bright catchlight — big innocent puppy-like gaze straight into the camera. Textured reptilian skin with intricate overlapping scales in a gradient of teal, steel-blue and silvery cyan, subtle iridescent pearlescent sheen. Rows of small pointed spikes and horns along the head and neck, tiny frill spikes near the cheeks. Slightly smiling, gentle friendly expression, soft rounded snout, small nostrils.
Shallow depth of field, blurred warm neutral background with soft bokeh, natural cinematic daylight, soft key light from the side, subsurface scattering on scales, ultra-detailed skin texture, photorealistic 3D render / CGI creature design, movie VFX quality, 8K, sharp focus on eyes. Cute yet believable, viral mascot creature. --ar 16:9
