a close up of a lion's face

A hyper-realistic, cinematic close-up of a majestic black lion with a flowing mane, accented by liquid gold splashes across its face and body. The lion's fur is predominantly dark, but golden streaks create an ethereal glow, especially around its eyes, nose, and mouth, where the gold seems to melt into the fur. Its piercing golden eyes lock forward with a regal, powerful gaze, conveying both strength and calm. The mane is thick and textured, blending seamlessly with shimmering gold elements that appear to be in motion, almost like molten metal. The background is dark, making the lion's black fur and radiant gold stand out vividly. Golden particles seem to float around the lion, as if the creature is emerging from or surrounded by liquid gold, creating a mystical and divine atmosphere with high contrast and dynamic movement.
