Prompt:
A heroic, painterly fantasy scene in the spirit of classic sword-and-sorcery illustration: a lone barbarian champion faces a black wizard in the sorcerer’s inner chamber. Pillars vanish into smoke; torches throw wavering orange across stone. The wizard, tall and gaunt in ragged black robes, thrusts one clawed hand in a cursing gesture while bracing an age-black staff. Between them, on a dais of gleaming black jade, stands an altar wrapped by four great golden serpents whose wedge-shaped heads rear toward the four quarters; nested between those lifted necks rests a flawless crystal globe filled with cloudy, living vapors that coil and drift within. The barbarian stands wide and braced over fallen companions and broken shields, sword and dagger blood-bright, breath lifting in the charged air. Heat shimmers near the globe; motes drift like cinders of a stubborn spell. A long stair climbs into haze beyond. Palette: altar golds and ember reds against oily blacks and cold steel-blue edges. Present tense, bold brush texture, mythic scale, heroic silhouette clarity.
