A whimsical, intricately detailed close-up of a baby dragon nestled in the forest near towering trees, its large green eyes sparkling with curiosity. The dragon's scales shimmer in shades of teal and gold, with a sharp, prickly texture reminiscent of a zbrush sculpture. The scene exudes the stylistic charm of Paul Barson and the pictorial elegance of Kadir Nelson, with an enchanting play of light filtering through the leaves, casting intricate shadows on the dragon's delicate features.
