Joel Sounds the Trumpet as Locusts Darken Zion

Emmanuel Higgins@emmanuel_higgins

The prophet Joel blows a ram's horn on a hill as locusts swarm across a darkened sky with a blood-red moon. Weeping priests, farmers and families gather below, and fires burn on the horizon.

Prompt

The book of Joel as an epic film poster. The prophet Joel stands on a hill blowing a ram's horn trumpet in Zion as an immense swarm of locusts darkens the sun over the land, stripping the vines and fields bare. Behind him: farmers and priests weeping between the porch and the altar; the sun darkened and the moon turned to blood; and on the other side, the Spirit poured out like fire and wind on young and old, sons and daughters prophesying. Apocalyptic sky, black, amber and blood red. 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.
