Prompt:
A poetic dark fantasy winter illustration in a painterly, storybook style. A colossal, translucent spirit made of snow, wind, and mist looms gently over a small snowy village at night. The spirit has a soft animal-like face (fox or forest creature), closed eyes, and delicate hands cupped together, as if breathing warm air or whispering a blessing. Its body dissolves into swirling snow and night sky, blending with stars and clouds.
Below, a tiny cozy house with glowing warm yellow windows stands in deep snow, its roof covered in thick white layers. A single street lamp casts a soft amber light, creating a contrast with the cold blue and teal night. Snow falls gently everywhere, blurring the edges of the world. A small boat rests half-buried in snow nearby, adding quiet melancholy.
Color palette: deep blues, cold teals, soft greys, icy whites, with warm golden highlights from windows and lanterns. Textured brushstrokes, visible canvas grain, dreamy fog, soft lighting, cinematic composition. Mood: calm, mystical, protective, slightly melancholic, winter fairytale.
Inspired by Nordic folklore, Slavic winter myths, and illustrated fairy-tale books. High detail, hand-painted look, surreal scale contrast between the gentle giant spirit and the tiny human home.
