Backlit, a Talisman Catches Fire

A Taoism-themed anime/game splash art. The subject is a young woman with a beguiling expression and golden irises, centered in frame, her pose rising from about a quarter of the way up the composition. She wears a Taoist priest's cap painted with bagua trigrams and an ornately crafted golden Taoist robe, her waist cinched with a belt hung with copper coins, bells, and a large yin-yang pendant. Her right hand forms a mudra in front of her chest while the other holds up a burning golden talisman, flame and pale smoke rising and spreading along its edge. Behind her, centered, hangs a huge, texture-less light source with soft, blurred edges, rimming her silhouette in a ring of backlit gold; scattered around her are faint floating talismans, scorch marks, and wisps of smoke. The overall lighting is high-contrast and dramatic, accented by foreground flame, the palette deep and saturated with gold as the highlight color. Digital-painting finish, clean image with no clutter of fine speckling, background thrown into soft, shallow-depth-of-field blur. Vertical mobile wallpaper, aspect ratio 9:19.5.
