Balaam Sees Israel's Tents and the Rising Star

Emmanuel Higgins@emmanuel_higgins

Balaam stands on a height at dusk, one hand on his chest and the other stretched toward a bright star, above the camp of Israel with the tabernacle. A crowned man stands behind him.

Prompt

Numbers 24: Balaam lifts up his eyes and sees Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes, and the spirit of God comes upon him: How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, there shall come a Star out of Jacob. Balaam stands large and central on the top of Peor at dusk, his eyes wide open as in a trance, one arm stretched out toward a single brilliant star rising in the deep blue sky above the orderly camp of Israel's tents glowing far below in the valley. His mantle stirs in the evening wind. Awe-struck, prophetic, luminous mood, the star bright and the sky still glowing gold at the horizon. 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.
