Yuki-onna (Snow Woman)

• Model: Animatron

• Size: 1414 X 1414 (2.00 MP)

• Used settings:

  • Prompt: Create an ethereal being with a serene and mystical aura, positioned at the center of a snowy environment. The figure has a doll-like feminine appearance with skin that glows in a luminous blue tone, exuding a supernatural presence. The facial features are delicate with a straight nose, closed, peaceful eyes with luminous eyeliner but no eyelashes, and an expression of tranquility. Adorn the forehead with a round red jewel. The subject’s hair is styled in an intricate, traditional updo, accented with white floral decorations that match the snowy motif. A faint red glow emanates from the figure's chest area, where the garment begins—a traditional Asian-style red and white patterned kimono with faint golden accents, suggesting regal or spiritual status. The kimono is draped gracefully over the figure’s arms, which are lowered and held slightly away from the body with palms facing upwards, hinting at an inviting or offering gesture. The fabric flows down into the snow-covered ground, blending seamlessly with the icy landscape around her, giving the impression that she's emerging from or one with the wintery scene. The immediate background is a dynamic whirl of snowflakes and frost patterns, with some larger snow particles in the foreground to add depth. The color palette is predominantly in cold shades of blue and white, contrasting with the warm red of the kimono. The overall atmosphere should be mystical and magical, as if encountering a winter spirit or a deity in a snow-clad realm.
