Habakkuk Keeps Watch on the Tower as Chaldeans Ride

Emmanuel Higgins@emmanuel_higgins

Habakkuk stands on a stone wall holding a tablet and looks up at the dawn. Cavalry rides across the plain, barren trees and empty pens lie below, and a deer leaps on the hillside.

Prompt

The book of Habakkuk as a cinematic film poster. The prophet Habakkuk stands alone on a stone watchtower at dawn, wind in his cloak, waiting and watching, a writing tablet in his hands. Below him: the Babylonian Chaldean cavalry sweeping across the plain like eagles; empty fig trees, barren vines, and empty stalls. Yet he lifts his face in faith as the first light strikes the hills, and a deer leaps sure-footed on the high places. Cold blue dawn turning to gold. 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.
