Jonah Falls Into the Sea Before the Great Fish
Jonah reaches out as he falls into a stormy sea above a great fish with open jaws. Smaller scenes show sailors throwing cargo, Jonah praying, the king of Nineveh in sackcloth, and Jonah under a withered vine.
Prompt
The book of Jonah as an epic film poster. The prophet Jonah plunges into a raging dark sea as a colossal great fish rises from the depths beneath him, jaws open. Above, sailors on a storm-tossed ancient ship throw cargo overboard under lightning. Around them: Jonah praying inside the belly of the fish; Jonah on the shore preaching to the vast city of Nineveh as the king in sackcloth repents; Jonah sitting under a withered vine outside the city. Deep sea greens and storm blues. 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.
