Prompt:
In a retro pulp illustration style reminiscent of mid-20th-century spy novel covers and inspired by the works of illustrator José Luiz Benicio, painted using bold gouache and acrylic techniques, a glamorous brunette woman with olive-toned skin reclines elegantly. Her thick, dark brown hair cascades in luxurious waves, framing her striking face. She wears a pristine white fur coat draped casually over her shoulders, paired with a matching fur hat perched stylishly atop her head. Beneath the fur, a dazzling sequined evening gown shimmers subtly, catching the light with every fold. Her makeup is dramatic and captivating: long, fluttering false eyelashes, smudgy smoky eyeshadow paired with sharp eyeliner, and ruby red lips that stand out against her warm complexion. Her striking greenish-blue eyes, highlighted by the makeup, hold a confident and enigmatic expression, evoking the essence of a classic femme fatale.
The background, softly blurred to maintain focus on her, hints at a cozy Swiss chalet nestled in the Alps. Behind her, the faint glow of a crackling fireplace casts warm, golden light, while through a frosted window, snow falls gently outside, blanketing the peaks of distant mountains. The scene adds an understated yet atmospheric suggestion of place, enhancing the intrigue without overpowering the composition. The lighting casts a soft, focused glow, emphasizing the shimmering details of her sequined gown and the luxurious texture of the fur. Every element of the image embodies the iconic pulp aesthetic, blending glamour, mystery, and sophistication with the painterly richness of gouache and acrylic mediums, capturing the timeless artistry of José Luiz Benicio.
