Trickster Character Rendered in Ukiyo-e Japanese Woodblock Print Style

Captured in a symmetrical front view shot employing pattern and repetition composition, a trickster character rendered in ukiyo-e Japanese woodblock print style, distinguished by monolid eyes, a bandana tied around head, a quiver for arrows or bolts, and prominent heels, holds forth a gracefully slender ringneck snake with a distinct yellow collar against its slate gray back and smooth glossy scales. Both subjects are dramatically rim-lit by backlighting and sculpted by hard light with strong shadows under a neutral color temperature, set against the vast crystal clear night sky revealing the Milky Way over the desert.
