The original character design/outfit used as a reference was created by Hyouju Issei, who is well known for designing several Touhou characters as Race Queens.
This image was generated with ChatGPT. Honestly, I'm impressed by how much the results have improved. The latest version can almost perfectly recreate Hyouju Issei's outfits, although it occasionally goes a bit crazy and incorrectly flags them as NSFW.
One downside is that ChatGPT tends to add too many scratches, particles, and other artifacts, making the image look too AI-generated
To reduce this, I ran the image through Mango 2 (the model MAGE website), which is capable of removing excessive particles and scratches, smoothing the skin, improving the hands, and making the designs look even more appealing (In Reimu's case, it can make her torso slightly curvier in the right places and make the center opening of the outfit more deep/low)
Some fine details were edited manually using Paint.NET together with a drawing tablet.
In this case, I edited her teeth and hair.
Feel free to suggest other characters, and I'll make more Race Queen illustrations!
