KIMONO GIRL
While experimenting with MidJourney V3, it occurred to me to try to create a girl in a kimono as a wallpaper for my cell phone. After a while generating iterations, I ended up with about ten images. I liked all of them, but none of them convinced me completely.
First I put together the ones that matched the best, and with smart objects and layer masks I repainted everything that wasn't right. Using Adobe Sensei I recreated hollows, mixed hairstyles, textures, kimono folds, etc.
Then I adjusted the final result until it was uniform, tried different backgrounds for the image and added a small wooden frame. As a final touch I made some adjustments and added a bandana motif with advanced opacity.
