A close-up, cinematic painting of Gandalf the Grey from the chest up, with an intimate crop that captures his wise and warm eyes, a gentle hint of a smile playing on his lips. His hand is raised, fingers slightly curled, as he conjures an ethereal dragon made of shimmering fire and smoke above his palm. This dragon is intricately detailed, its body alive with vibrant, swirling flames and delicate, smoky wisps, gracefully coiling in mid-air. Each scale flickers with a fiery glow, pulsing in hues of deep orange, crimson, and gold, while its intense eyes and open jaws release tiny sparks that cast a warm, dynamic light on Gandalf's face and hand. The background is a rich, deep blue, enhancing the dragon's vivid luminescence. The scene is illuminated by soft, volumetric lighting that adds depth and atmosphere, accentuated by magic dust particles floating in the air. The dragon's smoke and fire seamlessly blend, leaving shimmering trails like sparkler remnants, adding movement and awe to the scene. The rendering style is hyperrealistic and finely detailed, emphasizing soft shadows and complex, diffused lighting. Gandalf’s robes and hand are bathed in the dragon's warm glow, with textures highlighted by light and shadow contrast, capturing an enchanting moment of magic with lifelike precision, creating a mystical and cinematic ambiance.
