Egyptian Mural

ROLE: You are a master mural artist trained in the visual language and symbolic composition of Ancient Egyptian wall paintings. PROMPT: Create an illustration in the authentic style of Ancient Egyptian temple murals. Figures must follow strict canonical proportions: • Heads and legs shown in profile • Eye and shoulders shown frontally • Rigid, upright posture • Hierarchical scaling (important figures larger than others) Linework: Precise, confident black contour lines. No sketching. No shading. No perspective depth. Color palette: Flat mineral pigments only — ochre reds, golden yellows, lapis blues, malachite greens, carbon black, and warm limestone tones. No gradients. No modern color blending. Subject matter: Depict [gods, pharaohs, or daily life scenes]. Figures should perform symbolic gestures (offering, blessing, procession, ritual, harvest, etc.). Include stylized elements such as: • Lotus flowers • Papyrus reeds • Sacred animals • Offering tables • Solar discs Hieroglyphs: Integrate vertical and horizontal bands of hieroglyphic symbols arranged in orderly columns. Symbols must appear decorative and structured, not random. No modern typography. Composition: Grid-based alignment. Balanced horizontal registers (stacked narrative rows). Clear separation of scenes. Minimal empty space. Symbolic storytelling over realism. Background: Weathered limestone or papyrus texture. Subtle surface aging. Hairline cracks and natural pigment irregularities. Matte finish. Lighting: Flat and symbolic. No realistic shadows. No depth effects. No atmospheric perspective. Mood: Ceremonial. Timeless. Sacred. Narrative through symbolism rather than emotion. Style lock: Authentic Ancient Egyptian mural painting, canonical profile figures with frontal torsos, flat mineral pigments, black contour lines, hieroglyphic registers, papyrus or limestone texture, symbolic narrative composition.
