Prompt:
In the style of Coby Whitmore and Jon Whitcomb, an oil and gouache illustration with a cinematic, painterly realism, featuring a striking sorceress with extreme foreshortening, her hand and index finger pointing directly at the viewer in a dramatic, confrontational gesture. Her hands must have 5 digits only. Her outstretched hand dominates the foreground, enlarged due to extreme perspective, while her body recedes gracefully into the background. Her flawless, luminous skin is smooth with soft airbrushed highlights, and her intense, almond-shaped eyes are framed by thick, dramatic lashes, smoky black eyeliner, and sculpted arched brows. Her lips are full and painted a bold deep red, perfectly sculpted. Her raven-black hair is sleek, glossy, and impeccably styled, parted in the middle and cascading in voluminous, sculptural waves that frame her face. She wears a diaphanous gothic gown with sheer chiffon sleeves and intricate gold embroidery, draping elegantly over her form. The gold detailing is refined, adding richness without overpowering the composition. Her long, perfectly manicured black nails glisten as she reaches toward the viewer, seemingly casting a spell. The background fades into a moody, cinematic vignette of deep greys and soft inky blues, enhancing the sense of depth and mystery. The entire illustration is crafted with rich painterly brushwork, merging the crisp opacity of gouache with the blended textures of oil paint, ensuring a smooth, luminous finish. The composition is designed for maximum dramatic impact, making the sorceress’s presence feel powerful, immersive, and spellbinding.
