Prompt:
Masterpiece, a perfect composition in the stark, dramatic style of Caspar David Friedrich, reimagined through the fluid medium of watercolor. This is Wayang Kulit, the epic of the Ramayana, as if summoned from a primal dream. The scene is dominated by the immense, haunting silhouette of the kayon, the cosmic mountain tree, its intricate, lace-like form rendered in solid black against a sky of bleeding green and blue watercolor. It stands with the solemn grandeur of a Friedrich landscape, a symbol of the universal order at stake. Before it, the puppets of Rama and Sita are locked in a moment of profound tension. Their forms, defined by the harsh, unforgiving light of the dalang's lamp, are not flat, but appear sculpted from shadow and emotion, echoing the surreal, textured figures of Max Ernst. Rama's posture is one of divine resolve, his outline sharp and heroic. Sita, captured with the expressive, almost violent brushstrokes of Affandi Kusuma, seems to tremble with captured energy, her form a whirlpool of indigo and umber washes. The demon king Ravana looms in the background, a multi-armed monstrosity of jagged, menacing shapes, his presence a dark stain on the watery backdrop. The palette is a dramatic interplay of Jason Chan's illustrative clarity and the organic bleed of the medium: deep indigo, earthy sienna, and the spectral glow of the unpainted paper, all swirling in a mist of green and blue watercolor that suggests a world of magic, tragedy, and elemental power. The mood is one of mythic scale and intimate drama, a timeless story told through shadow and luminous color.
