An eye delicately encapsulated within a shimmering water drop, painted with the intricacy of cryengine’s hyper-realism, echoing the emotive depth found in the works of Pegi Nicol MacLeod. The scene exudes a hauntingly beautiful narrative, capturing the essence of ultra-realism akin to Thomas Saliot's vivid portrayals. The composition is a close-up, highlighting the intricate details and textures of the eye, set against a background of evocative realism, all framed with the aspect ratio of 9:16, and stylized to enhance its ethereal allure.
