Elihu and Job Face the Whirlwind

Emmanuel Higgins@emmanuel_higgins

Elihu holds Job's arm and points at a huge whirlwind of sand and cloud lit by lightning and golden light. Both men stare at it as their garments blow.

Prompt

Job 37: Elihu cries, at this my heart trembles: hear the thunder of his voice; out of the south comes the whirlwind; stand still, O Job, and consider the wondrous works of God. With God is terrible majesty. Elihu, in his rust-red tunic, striped cream-and-brown mantle and wrapped brown-and-ochre head cloth, and Job, in torn sackcloth, stand large and central on open desert ground, Elihu gripping Job's arm and pointing as both stare in trembling awe at a colossal whirlwind of swirling sand and cloud advancing across the plain, its heart blazing with brilliant golden light and lit by flashes of lightning; their garments whip in the wind. Bright, dramatic golden light. 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.
