Jude Contends for the Faith in a Storm
Jude raises a hand and holds a scroll on a cliff while an armoured angel stands over a fallen old man, shooting stars cross the storm sky, a city burns, and waves break below.
Prompt
The book of Jude as an epic film poster. Jude, brother of James, stands on a cliff by a flaming watch fire, contending for the faith, holding a scroll against a wild night storm. Around him: wandering stars streaking the sky; waterless clouds; raging waves of the sea foaming; Michael the archangel contending with the devil over the body of Moses; the burning cities of Sodom and Gomorrah in the distance; and believers kept safe in the hand of God. Stormy darkness 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.
