Prompt

Copy-ready prompt

A poetic, cinematic macro illustration of the cover of {argument name="book title" default="Wind, Sand and Stars"} by {argument name="author name" default="Antoine de Saint-Exupéry"}, rendered as a surreal desert world emerging directly from the textured paper page. A large human hand holds a glossy black and gold fountain pen near the top right, the engraved gold nib touching the paper and releasing a dark stream of ink that becomes a winding path across a miniature Sahara landscape. The composition is vertical, warmly lit in amber and sepia tones, with dramatic side lighting, deep shadows, and ultra-detailed paper grain, skin texture, dust, and metallic reflections. On the upper left, the printed title text appears in elegant serif typography, with the author name below it and a short italic quote in smaller script beneath. The page transforms into a detailed map-like desert tableau with exactly 16 tiny human figures scattered across the scene: 1 lone standing figure balanced beside the pen nib, 3 figures near a small campfire, 2 central robed men in conversation, 3 figures gathered beside the biplane, 1 solitary figure walking near the lower middle, 2 riders on camels at the lower left, 3 standing figures near the truck at the lower right, and 1 tiny seated figure near the wreckage at the lower left. Include exactly 1 vintage biplane parked on the right with visible markings, exactly 1 old expedition truck at the bottom right, exactly 1 windsock near the center-right, exactly 1 desert oasis town with palm trees on the right, exactly 1 ruined sandcastle-like mound on the left, exactly 1 dark tent encampment on the left-center, exactly 1 wrecked engine or fuselage fragment in the lower left corner, and exactly 1 compass rose printed at the bottom left. The ink trail should branch through dunes and cracked earth like a route on an old map, connecting landmarks labeled with place names including {argument name="map label one" default="Tamanrasset"}, {argument name="map label two" default="Agadir"}, and {argument name="map label three" default="Dakar"}. Blend antique cartography, literary symbolism, and miniature diorama realism, evoking exploration, memory, loneliness, and the romance of early aviation.
