A close-up portrait of a person wearing an ornate and otherworldly headdress and collar. The image is a detailed portrait of a person with an unusual appearance. They are wearing a large, sculptural headdress that appears to be made of a dark, textured material that resembles moss or coral, from which abstract, spiky branches extend upwards. Embedded within the headdress are small, round elements that have a metallic or jewel-like quality, shimmering with hints of blue and gold. The person's face is partially obscured by an intricate face mask composed of a blue, slightly metallic material covered in countless small, iridescent blue and gold dots that create a textured, patterned effect. Prominently displayed on the forehead, above the eyes, and on the chest are larger, round, glowing orange orbs with a fiery appearance, suggesting embedded jewels or energy sources. The person has striking bright orange eyes and smooth, pale skin visible beneath the mask. They are wearing a layered collar that stands up around their neck and shoulders, featuring a ridged outer layer with sharp points and an inner layer with a feathery or layered texture. Both the collar and the garment beneath it are adorned with complex, ornate patterns in shades of blue, gold, and black, giving a sense of ancient or alien craftsmanship. The background is a dark, undefined space, which emphasizes the intricate details of the subject. The overall atmosphere is one of mystery, fantasy, and regal intensity, suggesting a powerful and perhaps otherworldly being. The mood is serious and captivating, drawing the viewer into the subject's enigmatic presence. Afrofuturism.

Ultra-photorealistic cinematic film still of Alicia Vikander as Lan Yan, a reimagined character concept for Genshin Impact. Alicia embodies the elegance and mystique of Lan Yan, a legendary adventurer and scholar with ties to Liyue’s rich history. Her face is illuminated by the soft glow of lantern light, highlighting her smooth, radiant complexion. Her expressive eyes—amber with golden flecks—carry a sense of wisdom and curiosity, perfectly reflecting her dual role as a seeker of knowledge and a protector of the land. Her hair is styled in cascading waves of deep black, accented with streaks of fiery orange and gold that evoke the flames of a lantern. A delicate, ornamented hairpiece in the shape of a phoenix rests elegantly at the crown of her head, shimmering with intricate details that suggest ancient craftsmanship. Loose strands frame her face, adding a natural and approachable touch to her refined appearance. Lan Yan’s attire is a harmonious blend of traditional Liyue aesthetics and modern fantasy design, crafted from luxurious silk and brocade. She wears a high-collared, sleeveless qipao-inspired gown in hues of deep crimson and gold, its fabric adorned with intricate embroidery depicting flames and mythical phoenixes. The gown features asymmetrical layers, with one side flowing into a long, semi-transparent train that glimmers faintly with embedded golden threads. A detailed sash cinches her waist, tied elegantly with tassels and jade ornaments that sway gently with her movements. Her accessories include delicate golden bangles on her wrists, a jade pendant shaped like a phoenix feather, and fingerless gloves that extend slightly past her wrists, made of supple leather with flame-like patterns etched into the material. Her boots are sleek and practical, designed for both combat and exploration, with subtle phoenix motifs carved into the metal guards. Lan Yan’s weapon is a radiant polearm, its shaft crafted from dark obsidian and inlaid with glowing, ember-like veins of orange and gold. The blade itself is shaped like a phoenix’s wing, shimmering with a fiery aura that flickers subtly in rhythm with her movements. The background is a breathtaking Liyue harbor scene during the Lantern Rite Festival. Thousands of glowing lanterns float into the star-filled sky, casting warm, golden reflections onto the tranquil waters below. The distant mountains are illuminated by the faint glow of firework bursts, creating a vibrant and celebratory atmosphere. Lan Yan stands on a stone bridge lined with lanterns, her pose dynamic yet graceful as she surveys the festival below with a protective and contemplative demeanor. The lighting is rich and cinematic, with the warm, golden glow of lanterns illuminating her face and attire. Subtle backlighting highlights the flowing train of her gown and the shimmering streaks in her hair. The ember-like glow of her polearm casts faint, fiery reflections onto the stone bridge and nearby lanterns, adding depth and drama to the scene. The mood is enchanting and majestic, capturing the fusion of cultural heritage and fantastical elements that define Genshin Impact. Alicia Vikander’s nuanced portrayal of Lan Yan adds a sense of emotional depth and authenticity to the character, blending elegance, strength, and mysticism in a way that feels both grounded and otherworldly.
