“Ooka Echizen Day” prompt
Man in traditional Japanese samurai attire in a hyper-realism style. Close-up portrait of a man with a high topknot. He wears a dark indigo patterned kimono with an intricate white floral motif on his shoulder. The pattern on the kimono has repeated diamond-like designs. The background is a muted, painterly depiction of pale gold and turquoise walls and stylized trees and leaves, giving it an impressionist feel. Focus on the man's face and the fine pattern on his kimono. The lighting is soft and the subject is well lit, drawing attention to the man's expression and the intricate details of his clothing. He has a serious expression on his face, perhaps a little lost in thought. Allow some depth of field to be seen in the background, such as the background being subtly out of focus but still visible and matching the tones in the foreground. Include subtle shading and texture to give the fabric realism.Summary of what day it is today: February 3rd
