Daniel Prays in the Lions' Den
Daniel kneels in prayer among resting lions. Above him are the three men and a fourth figure in the fire, Belshazzar seeing writing on the wall, and the great statue falling.
Prompt
The book of Daniel as an epic film poster. Daniel, calm and steadfast in Babylonian robes, stands in the lions' den with light pouring down on him while the great lions lie peacefully at his feet. Around him: Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego walking unharmed in the blazing fiery furnace with a fourth radiant figure; a mysterious hand writing on the palace wall at Belshazzar's feast; the giant statue of gold, silver, bronze, iron and clay struck by a stone. Rich Babylonian blues, gold and fire. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film or a film poster. 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 on the main figures, subtle film grain. Composition like a movie one-sheet in portrait format: the main figures large and close in the upper and middle frame, the book's major events unfolding smaller behind and around them. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern or first-century clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large title can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
