Portrait study in Niji style of a pale-skinned man wearing a dark green velvet tunic adorned with intricate bronze embroidery along the cuffs and collar, paired with a leather sash strapped across his chest. A large python with shimmering iridescent grey scales patterned in deep olive and bronze coils around his shoulder. Its head rests calmly near his collarbone, eyes amber and focused, tongue flicking slightly in the soft light.
