Nebuchadnezzar Eats Grass Like the Oxen

Emmanuel Higgins@emmanuel_higgins

A ragged king with long hair and long nails crouches in a dewy meadow eating grass among oxen. The city of Babylon with its ziggurat stands far behind him.

Prompt

Daniel 4: Nebuchadnezzar eats grass as oxen. The humbled King Nebuchadnezzar, large and central, crouches on all fours in a dewy meadow among grazing oxen, eating grass, his hair grown long and wild like eagles' feathers and his nails grown long like birds' claws, his torn royal robe soaked with dew; far behind him the walls and ziggurat of great Babylon shine on the horizon. Cool early-morning light with sparkling dew, a mood of humbling. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film. Bright, rich, saturated, luminous colour, clear daylight or glowing golden light even in dramatic scenes, never murky or muddy, crisp detail, real human faces full of emotion, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain. Simple, uncluttered composition: ONE clear scene from this chapter, with the chapter's main character or characters large, close and central in the upper and middle frame, and a simple background. No montage, no collage, no inset vignettes, no crowd of small figures competing for attention. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large chapter number can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
