Prompt:
In a furnace sky of molten red and orange, two armored astronauts face an impossible apparition: a burning blood-red orb tearing itself into existence above the ruins. The camera is low and dramatic, angled so the figures and orb tower in the frame. One astronaut stands braced on shattered masonry staring at the orb, one arm thrown wide, the other raised as if shielding from the blaze. His suit bristles with ribbed cabling, steel plates, and oxygen packs bolted across his back, the helmet dome catching firelight in molten arcs. His stance reads heroic—shoulders squared, spine arched, legs wide. Beside him, his companion kneels among rubble, one gauntlet lifted against the light illuminating his face, the other steadying on broken stone. Both helmets gleam as mirrors of the inferno, their visors burning with reflected fire. To the left, a wrecked vehicle slumps into ruin, cannon bent like a snapped spear, armor blistered and cracked by heat. The ground is a chaos of fractured masonry and buckled plates, some seams glowing faintly as if the fire has reached within. At zenith looms the orb itself: a swollen, roiling sphere, surface convulsing with molten flares and fissures that spit tongues of fire. It dominates the sky, light bleeding into everything—shadows become vermilion, rubble smolders, air flickers with drifting sparks. Light: harsh furnace glow saturates the scene, painting rubble, armor, and smoke in tones of red, orange, and gold. Highlights clip hard across domes and plates; dust haze lifts into glowing veils. The palette is absolute fire. Mood: catastrophic and mythic. Two human figures hold ground against an elemental birth, pulp-heroic silhouettes in the theater of apocalypse. Rendered as a classic oil-painted sci-fi cover: bold anatomy, metallic glints, furnace spectrum, dramatic parallax.
