“This Is The Covenant That I Will Make With Them After Those Days, Saith The Lord, I Will Put My Laws Into Their Hearts, And In Art

“He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” (Revelation 3:5-6, KJV)
Understood! Let's refine this to specifically identify the subject as male and ensure the luxurious purple clothing receives significant emphasis, moving beyond just an aura. This will create a truly regal and striking image based on Song of Songs 5:11.

Here's the revised prompt:

AI Art Prompt:

"A powerful and opulent male portrait, dramatically lit and styled, directly inspired by Song of Songs 5:11. The subject's head is crowned with dramatically wavy hair that is intensely, profoundly black—like the glossy, wet feathers of a raven. His gaze is commanding and serene. He is draped in sumptuous, rich royal purple garments made of flowing velvet or silk, featuring intricate drapes and folds that catch the light, emphasizing their regal texture. A radiant, ethereal golden light emanates from around the crown of his head, symbolically representing "purest gold," casting highlights onto his features and the luxurious purple fabric. This golden light and the deep purple of his attire are set against a background of mysterious, yet elegant black shadow and subtle Art Deco-inspired geometric patterns that reinforce the high-contrast aesthetic. The overall mood is one of majestic beauty, divine royalty, and profound symbolic opulence, with the black and purple colors dominating the composition
“He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” (Revelation 3:5-6, KJV)
Out where the river runs wild and free
and only the brave dare row;
where the rapids are deep, and the challenge is fresh
and it takes them where it means to go.
With breakneck speed, grinning into the wind,
standing straight on the bow of their craft,
just a glimpse now and then of those captains you’ll catch
flying by, near capsizing your raft.

They’ve no time for advice to those standing on shore
or to aid the ones just wading out,
for their task is to pilot this current, they think,
and it’s all they can do to stay out of the drink,
and their lives could be gone in the space of a wink
should they lose but a moment to doubt.
Standing tall, they never must doubt!
“He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” (Revelation 3:5-6, KJV)

This sounds like a wonderfully whimsical and festive image! Combining the classic pumpkin head with a burst of candy and unique carving will make for a very creative Halloween or autumn piece.

Here's a prompt for a Happy Pumpkin Head Figure with Candy Bursting Out for ArtStyles.com:

Happy Pumpkin Head with Candy Burst Prompt

"A cheerful and fantastical figure with a large, glowing jack-o'-lantern for a head. The pumpkin's face is carved with a distinctly happy, friendly, wide-mouthed smile and joyful eyes. Instead of traditional jagged cuts, the facial features (eyes, nose, mouth) are intricately carved with elegant, swirling, vine-like patterns, giving it a whimsical and artistic look. The pumpkin head emits a warm, inviting orange glow from within.

Dramatically bursting and cascading out of the very top of the pumpkin's head is an overflowing abundance of vibrant, colorful Halloween candy. This candy explosion includes individually wrapped chocolates, lollipops, jelly beans, candy corn, and various brightly colored sweets, all tumbling outwards in a joyous, sugary fountain.

The figure itself has a rustic, scarecrow-like body, perhaps dressed in tattered but festive autumn-colored clothing (e.g., burlap, plaid, or warm browns and oranges), standing in an autumnal setting. The background could feature a gently lit pumpkin patch, fallen autumn leaves, or a soft, blurred evening sky. The lighting is warm and enchanting, highlighting the pumpkin's glow and the glossy sheen of the candy. The overall mood is one of festive joy, playful magic, and autumnal abundance."whimsical illustration, vibrant autumn colors, detailed candy textures, glowing effects, playful character design, festive atmosphere
My sincerest apologies that the Queen appeared angry! That's completely contrary to the "serene and noble expression" we aimed for and the dignity implied by Psalm 45. We need to explicitly reinforce a gentler, more gracious demeanor.

You're also right to focus on the gold's shine. We can definitely enhance that.

To address both issues—the expression and the gold's luminosity—we'll make two key adjustments:

    Refine Expression: Use stronger words for a gentle, majestic, and perhaps beatific expression.

    Enhance Gold's Shine: Introduce Baroque Art Style as a secondary influence. Baroque is famous for its dramatic light, intense gleam on metals and jewels, and dynamic richness, which will make the gold truly radiant. It pairs beautifully with Oil Painting for opulence.

Revised Prompt for "Queen in Gold of Ophir - Gentle Expression & Shining Gold"

    Oil Painting Art Style, Baroque Art Style, a breathtakingly majestic and regal portrait of "The Queen in Gold of Ophir," inspired by Psalm 45. The Queen stands with impeccable grace and royal dignity, her posture radiating quiet power. Her expression is serene, gentle, and profoundly gracious, with a subtle, knowing smile, reflecting noble peace. She is adorned in an exquisitely elaborate gown woven entirely from the finest, purest gold of Ophir, which shimmers and gleams with unparalleled brilliance, catching every ray of light. Her attire is intricately embellished with countless precious jewels—sapphires, rubies, and emeralds—each sparkling intensely with Baroque dynamism. A delicate yet regal golden crown, also ablaze with light, rests upon her head. The setting is a grand, opulent royal palace chamber, with rich tapestries and polished marble, bathed in dramatic, warm, golden ambient light that creates striking highlights and deep, luxurious shadows, making her and her lavish garments glow. Focus on the unparalleled brilliance, texture, and radiant shine of her golden gown, the intense sparkle of her jewels, her majestic yet gentle presence, and the luxurious, sacred atmosphere befitting a queen in God's presence.
A historically accurate and atmospheric depiction of the signing of the Mayflower Compact aboard the ship in November 1620. The scene is set in the dimly lit, cramped cabin of the Mayflower, with the ship's timbers and rigging subtly visible, conveying the challenging conditions of the voyage. A simple table or chest serves as the signing surface. The primary focus is on a small group of the last individuals signing the document: specifically, the indentured servants (or 'strangers' not directly part of the Separatist congregation) approaching or at the table. Their expressions show a mix of weary determination, understanding of the necessity, and perhaps a hint of quiet apprehension or resignation to this new social contract, given their status. They are dressed in the plain, practical clothing typical of 17th-century commoners and laborers. Figures of prominent Pilgrims or 'Saints' (like William Bradford or John Carver) are visible in the background, observing the proceedings with a sense of gravity and leadership, but they are not the central focus. The lighting is low and warm, perhaps from a lantern, creating a chiaroscuro effect that highlights the faces of the signers. The atmosphere conveys the momentousness of the act under difficult circumstances, the diverse composition of the group, and the early seeds of self-governance in a new world. The artistic style is a realistic, historically detailed oil painting, capturing the solemnity and human element of this pivotal historical moment."

A vivid, dramatic scene depicting a lone figure standing resiliently in the center of a swirling swarm of bees, their forms illuminated by a fiery glow as thorns around them burn brightly, then fade into ash. The figure, clad in simple yet radiant robes, holds a shining sword raised triumphantly, symbolizing divine strength and victory. Behind them, a radiant light bursts forth, representing the presence of the Lord, with beams breaking through a stormy sky. The ground beneath the figure is cracked but stable, showing they were pushed but did not fall. The atmosphere is intense yet hopeful, with a harmonious blend of danger and divine protection, capturing the essence of Psalm 118:12-14--strength, salvation, and triumph through faith. The color palette includes fiery oranges, deep golds, and cool blues to contrast the chaos with divine peace. Ultra-realistic, slightly surreal. Extreme detail.

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

Art Style: A whimsical, magical fantasy photograph with a slight long-exposure effect. The aesthetic should be charming, warm, and full of wonder, like a scene from a high-budget Studio Ghibli film brought to real life.

The Sky (The Shower): The deep, dark night sky is alive with activity. Instead of standard meteor streaks, dozens of glowing, translucent "puppy-meteors" are zooming across the heavens.

The Puppies: They are clearly recognizable as adorable, fluffy puppies—golden retrievers, chunky corgis, fluffy samoyeds, and floppy-eared spaniels.

    Appearance: They emit a soft, warm, bioluminescent glow (golds, creams, and soft blues).

    Motion: They aren't falling tragically; they look playful, soaring and tumbling through space, leaving long, glittering trails of stardust and paw-print sparkles behind them. Let's make sure to include the moon phase we established earlier for continuity! A slender waning crescent moon is visible among the puppy-streaks.

The Foreground Setting: A wide, grassy hill perfect for stargazing.

    The Viewers: A family or group of friends wrapped in cozy blankets are sitting on the grass, looking up with expressions of pure joy and disbelief, pointing at the sky.

    Animal Reaction: On the ground next to them, two real dogs (an earth-bound golden retriever and a beagle) are looking up at the sky, barking happily and wagging their tails wildly at their celestial cousins.

Lighting: The primary light source is the magical, warm glow from the dozens of puppy-meteors streaking overhead, casting soft light on the landscape below.

This day, though, I hiked another autumn wood.  Eastern Europe ancient; overgrown.  So thick the view was dark at just a few feet off the path.  All red and yellow; orange and brown, a million trees, each one in blazing preparation for long, frozen winter.  I cannot but recall my friend’s words, lasting long, though he did not, and the instant truth that follows.  Looking upward at the fiery canopy, matched against the bright cerulean sky beyond, I embrace autumn!  Winter surely comes one day, but spring beyond.  I have a winter to prepare for, but it is not yet.
I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than
I can see.
He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;
And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.
The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow—
Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow;
For he sometimes shoots up taller like an india-rubber ball,
And he sometimes goes so little that there’s none of him at all.
He hasn’t got a notion of how children ought to play,
And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way.
He stays so close behind me, he’s a coward you can see;
I’d think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me!
One morning, very early, before the sun was up,
I rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup;
But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy-head,
Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.
A whimsical and enchanting scene inside Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, featuring his extraordinary golden egg-laying geese. Several plump, pristine white geese are perched comfortably in ornate, perhaps slightly absurd, nests made of candy floss or sweet wrappers. Each goose is in the process of laying, or has just laid, a perfectly smooth, shimmering golden egg, which glows with a soft, magical luminescence. The geese themselves have a benevolent, slightly proud expression. The background reveals a fantastical, imaginative section of the factory, with edible landscapes, rivers of chocolate, and machinery built from confectionery. The lighting is soft, warm, and magical, emphasizing the golden glow of the eggs and the fantastical nature of the setting. The overall mood is one of sweet wonder, delight, and a touch of eccentricity."
A sharp and satirical political cartoon in a bold, distinctive political cartoon style. The scene depicts protestors alongside a city street, but instead of typical protestors, the crowd is made up entirely of elderly folks with a Pennywise style of exaggerated clown makeup, wearing regular clothing, but their expressions are not menacing, rather they are comically defiant, fitting the protest theme. They hold signs which say "No Kings"
Renaissance Painting Art Style, a magnificent and awe-inspiring Veil of the Tabernacle from Exodus 26:31, hanging grandly in a sacred space. The veil is exquisitely woven from deep blue, regal purple, and vivid scarlet yarn, intertwined with finely twisted pure white linen. Intricately and skillfully woven into the fabric are detailed, majestic cherubim with outstretched wings, their forms appearing almost alive within the threads. The entire veil shimmers with a subtle, divine luminosity, catching soft, ethereal light that emphasizes its rich textures, elaborate patterns, and sacred purpose. Focus on the luxurious drape of the fabric, the vibrancy of the colors, and the dignified, ethereal presence of the cherubim.

At his Grandmother's house in Penang, while the tropical rain taps softly against the window, Wing Sun, Mother and Grandmother gather in the cozy living room. The room glows with the soft light of an oil lamp, and the walls are adorned with faded photographs and delicate calligraphy. Grandmother’s eyes sparkle as she begins to speak—a voice that carries both the wisdom of her years and the tender care of someone who’s seen many seasons change.  Wing Sun is pensive with anticipation.  What will she say?
First century Jerusalem at the "gate beautiful" to the temple grounds.  Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called the Beautiful Gate to ask alms of those entering the temple. Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive alms. And Peter directed his gaze at him, as did John, and said, “Look at us.” And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them. But Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!” And he took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong.
An awe-inspiring and whimsical scene featuring Willy Wonka's Great Glass Wonkavator, soaring high above Louisiana and ascending into a fantastical sky. The Wonkavator itself is a magnificent, multi-directional glass elevator, transparent and sparkling, with Willy Wonka (in his iconic purple coat and top hat), and several anthrpomorphic cats in stylish New Orleans clothing clearly visible and enjoying the ride inside. The interior of the Wonkavator shows intricate, whimsical control panels. The Wonkavator is depicted in mid-flight, having just burst through the factory roof or rising above the clouds. Below it, the fantastical landscape of the Bayou and various whimsical buildings from the city of New Orleans. Beyond is the ocean. The lighting is bright and magical, emphasizing the glass's transparency and the vibrant colors of the world below and beyond. The overall mood is one of boundless adventure, limitless possibilities, and pure, joyful fantasy."
Golden Age Fantasy Illustration Style, Painterly Realism, Crystalline Underwater Photography Aesthetic. A stunning view looking down through impossibly clear ocean water at a royal hunting party of Narnian Merpeople riding through ancient, seaweed-covered ruins on the seabed.

The Crucial Riding Posture: The Merpeople are riding large, powerful, scaled hippocamps (mythical sea-horses). Crucially, the merfolk are perched securely in a distinct side-saddle position on the backs of their mounts. Their powerful, scaled fish tails are coiled elegantly around the side flank of the hippocampus for stability, rather than straddling them like a human.

The Seahorse Anatomy: The hippocamps themselves have massive, armored tails that curl tightly forward beneath their own bodies, pushing them through the water.

Key Figures & Details: The Mer-King, with flowing white hair and fierce eyes, sits side-saddle, holding a gold-tipped spear. His deep amethyst tail is visible coiled against the mount’s scales. A Mer-Queen rides beside him. Bright shafts of sunlight pierce the water, illuminating the specific details of their riding posture and glittering scales.

Golden Age Fantasy Illustration Style, Painterly Realism, Crystalline Underwater Photography Aesthetic. A stunning view looking down through impossibly clear ocean water at a royal hunting party of Narnian Merpeople riding through ancient, seaweed-covered ruins on the seabed.

The Crucial Riding Posture: The Merpeople are riding large, powerful, scaled hippocamps (mythical sea-horses). Crucially, the merfolk are perched securely in a distinct side-saddle position on the backs of their mounts. Their powerful, scaled fish tails are coiled elegantly around the side flank of the hippocampus for stability, rather than straddling them like a human.

The Seahorse Anatomy: The hippocamps themselves have massive, armored tails that curl tightly forward beneath their own bodies, pushing them through the water.

Key Figures & Details: The Mer-King, with flowing white hair and fierce eyes, sits side-saddle, holding a gold-tipped spear. His deep amethyst tail is visible coiled against the mount’s scales. A Mer-Queen rides beside him wearing a shimmering gown. Bright shafts of sunlight pierce the water, illuminating the specific details of their riding posture and glittering scales.
