David Drinks from a Brook Before His Army

David Drinks from a Brook Before His Army

Emmanuel Higgins@emmanuel_higgins

David kneels at a rushing brook and drinks from his cupped hand, with a spear and shield beside him. An army stands in ranks on the slopes behind him.

Prompt

Psalm 110 (A Psalm of David): The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion... Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power... He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head. King David, on campaign, kneels large and central beside a clear rushing brook in a rocky valley at dawn, lifting cool water to his mouth in his cupped hand, his shield and spear beside him; behind him on the slope his willing army waits in bright array in the morning dew. Fresh, strong, victorious. 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.
