Illustration by Akiya Kageichi, A surreal gongbihua portrait of a woman with a striking, almost otherworldly appearance. She is captured in a three-quarter view, with her face and shoulders prominently displayed against a gold foil background. Her skin is pale, and her facial features are finely sculpted with sharp, defined contours. She has dark, wavy hair that is pulled back, allowing the focus to remain on her face. Her eyes are a striking, intense blue, and she wears an elaborate, veil that covers her entire face except for her lips, which are painted a muted pink. The veil is intricately designed with a delicate, feather-like texture that radiates outward from her face, creating a dramatic and ethereal effect. The feathers add a luxurious and almost regal aura to her appearance. She is adorned with a high collar made of dark, fluffy feathers, which adds to the exotic and fantastical nature of the image. The textures in the feathers are meticulously rendered, with each individual feather's details visible, enhancing the realism of the artwork. The overall composition is both elegant and mysterious, evoking a sense of ancient mythology or fantasy. shanshui, Art by Akiya Kageichi
