Thank you 😊 I'm not so sure, if it is a mask 👹😅 ... the upper half of the face allready looked like this, before I ever mentioned a mask 😳 then I added a "mempo" in the prompt, which should only cover the lower half of the face, but it turned into full demon mode 😳

either way, it's pretty amazing. Reminds me of a pair of giant wooden oni I saw once guarding the shrine gates in Japan.

TheBard

Yes it is ... and on some pictures the eyes started to glow red ... I never asked for this in the prompt 😳😁

Awesome samurai! Love the oni mask ... unless it's real face, then love the oni samurai

TheBard
