Copy-ready prompt
Create a 16:9 cinematic podcast cover illustration in a dark Renaissance natural history style, blending vintage oil painting with fantastical scientific print textures. On the left, an elderly Victorian naturalist, strikingly resembling Charles Darwin, sits in the shadows, surrounded by leather books, an open sketchbook filled with botanical and animal notes, scattered papers, brass instruments, and dimly lit study walls; his face is obscured by a simple, vertical brown rectangle, creating a smeared effect. The center and right of the image depict a glowing seascape at sunset, with a sailboat perched on a distant cliff, birds circling overhead, and a massive, symbolic tree of life with its trunk winding across the sky. Place 13 clearly visible elements of natural history among the branches: a jaguar or leopard, a monkey, a bear mammal, a perching bird, two birds together, a pangolin, a fox or small canine, a sea turtle, a large tortoise, a fish, a lizard or reptile, a spiral seashell, and a star-shaped plant specimen. The background on the right should transition to a deep cosmic blue night sky, dotted with stars, spiral galaxies, circular scientific charts, fossils, leaves, insects, roots, and marine life, suggesting evolution, biodiversity, and cosmic time. Utilize dramatic contrasts of light and shadow, warm golden highlights, turquoise shadows, fine sculpted details, an oil painting-like texture, and a mysterious academic atmosphere. Place a striking and elegant gold Chinese title at the bottom center of the image.{argument name="headline text" default="Nature has no designer"} Below is a smaller gold subtitle{argument name="subtitle text" default="Darwin and the Tree of Life"} The cover is flanked by delicate decorative dividing lines and small floral embellishments. Maintaining a clear, centered, luxurious, and easy-to-read layout, it exudes the quality of a high-end science history podcast cover. The overall color scheme features vintage amber, deep forest green, dark cyan, black, and luminous gold; high detail, cinematic composition, and no modern elements.
