Shark Plush Tavern Waltz Cover

Goal: Create a richly detailed square fantasy album-cover illustration for {argument name="song title" default="Shark Plush Tavern Waltz"}, set in a cozy steampunk tavern aboard an airship where cats and shark plush mascots waltz together.

Canvas: Square 1:1 cover art, warm cinematic lighting, ornate thin gold border with decorative corner filigree, highly detailed painterly realism with whimsical storybook charm.

Layout: Place a large dark teal vintage signboard across the upper center with gold trim and ornate flourishes. The sign text reads “Shark Plush” on the first line and “Tavern Waltz” very large on the second line, with small musical notes around it and a small compass/ship-wheel ornament below. Add the subtitle “3/4 time Instrumental” on a ribbon-like lower curve of the sign. At the bottom center, add a small ornate plaque reading “Crystal Dragon Lancer” above {argument name="artist name" default="Elle"}, with tiny anchor decorations.

Setting: Interior of an airship tavern made of dark polished wood, brass pipes, ropes, hanging lanterns, bottles, barrels, round tables, curtains, and nautical-steampunk ornaments. Large round windows on the right reveal bright blue sky, clouds, and parts of the airship exterior. The atmosphere is festive, golden, cozy, and crowded, like a warm pub dance hall in the clouds.

Subjects and exact visible character count: Include exactly 7 visible shark plush characters: 1 large foreground shark plush in a top hat dancing at lower left, 1 shark plush in a vest dancing with an orange cat at right foreground, 1 partial shark plush head seen from behind at bottom right, 1 blue shark plush behind the central dancers, 1 shark plush couple-partner in the middle background, 1 small shark plush near the right window wearing a hat, and 1 distant shark plush among the background dancers. Include exactly 6 visible cats: 1 large gray tabby cat guitarist at left wearing a black top hat and steampunk vest, 1 gray cat upright bass player behind the guitarist, 1 joyful central fluffy cat in a teal Victorian dress dancing with the foreground shark, 1 orange cat in goggles dancing with the right shark, 1 small cat dancer in the central background, and 1 cat musician or dancer near the back of the tavern.

Character details: Dress the shark plushies in Victorian tavern attire: waistcoats, bow ties, tiny top hats, brass buttons, and soft fabric seams. Give them friendly rounded plush bodies, button-like eyes, smiling open mouths with soft triangular teeth, and cute toy-like proportions. Dress the cats in steampunk-Victorian clothing with corsets, lace cuffs, goggles, vests, belts, pocket watches, and tiny hats. Make the central cat laugh with closed smiling eyes while waltzing.

Music and props: The left cat plays a red-brown electric guitar, the rear cat plays an upright bass, and conga drums sit in the lower left foreground. Add mugs, bottles, candle lanterns, brass instruments, ropes, gears, framed wall pictures, and a chalkboard sign on the left wall that says “SKY TAVERN” and “GOOD ALE” in small hand-lettered text.

Style: Ultra-detailed whimsical fantasy illustration, warm amber tavern lighting mixed with cool blue daylight through windows, shallow cinematic depth, ornate nautical filigree, painterly texture, high-resolution cover-art polish, lively waltz motion, joyful expressions.

Constraints: Keep all text legible and spelled correctly. Do not add modern logos or watermarks. Preserve the square album-cover composition and the ornate gold border.
