A Painting Of A Shirtless Man Doing Karate Art

Now, those captains must learn what the river will do
when it makes that great turn out of sight.
How it dashes them up on the rocks of the shore
How it spins to the left and the right.
It beats them and breaks them and crushes their pride
Leaves them dizzy and sick and all jumbled inside
‘til they’ve all but forgotten that glorious ride
lying flat on their deck in the sun.
There they lie, drying out in the sun.

As you round the point where the river was bent
and survey the great wideness ahead,
you can see all those captains alone on their decks,
beat and broken and very near dead.
Then the current takes hold and there’s naught you can do
as it drags you down into its maw.
Headed straight for those rocks, you make ready to crash
but at last, you rise up, roll and yaw.

Going back and away, then forward again,
fearing each time, the rocks will prevail!
You’re trapped in a cycling, circling tide,
in an eddy withstanding a gale.
But each time you circle that great whirling tide
and you’ve not hit the rocks or been thrown to the side
and you’re kept from the falls, cascading and wide,
for the eddy’s small mercy give praise.
Give the merciful currents your praise!
Epic Fantasy Illustration Style, Gritty Cinematic Concept Art, a dynamic, wide-angle action shot of a fierce battle amidst overgrown ancient ruins at twilight. A lone, hardened warrior clad in practical leather and partial plate armor is in a dynamic combat stance, dodging a massive vine strike. They wield a glowing, enchanted battleaxe that burns with orange fire, striking at the creature. The opponent is a colossal, serpentine Botanical Dragon construct made entirely of writhing, thick poison ivy vines, hairy root systems, and dense clusters of glossy, three-pointed leaves. The "dragon" rears up, its maw a tangled mass of thorns and dripping toxic sap, exhaling clouds of yellowish-green poisonous spores. Its eyes glow with a malevolent verdant light. The ground is treacherous swamp and broken stone. The lighting is dramatic and moody, highlighting the oily sheen of the poisonous leaves and the fire of the warrior's weapon. High detail on the plant textures.
“Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come.” (Isaiah 41:22, KJV)

A detailed fantasy painting shows a sprawling gnome village built into the massive trunk and branches of an ancient tree at night. Numerous cozy wooden houses with blue-tiled roofs and glowing windows are nestled among the leaves, connected by intricate rope bridges, wooden walkways, and ladders. Gnomes in traditional red hats are visible on balconies and platforms. The primary mode of transport is large owls: a giant barn owl with a leather harness and basket filled with gnomes lands on a main platform, while another owl wearing a scarf perches on a lower bridge. Dozens of other owls are perched throughout the tree and in the background forest. A large, glowing full moon illuminates the scene, casting a magical light, with warm lanterns hanging everywhere. A gentle river flows at the base of the tree among forest flowers. The style is rich, textured, and whimsical

Digital Art Style, Romanticism Art Style, a tender and intimate painting depicting a monogamous pair of Red-lored Amazon parrots in their natural habitat. The scene focuses on the vibrant pair, with their striking bright green plumage, distinctive red forehead and lores (area between eye and beak), and splashes of yellow on their cheeks and crown, rendered with exquisite detail and luminous digital color. One parrot is gracefully perched near the entrance of a natural tree cavity, which serves as their nest, while its mate is close by, perhaps peeking from within the cavity or perched affectionately beside it. Their interaction conveys a deep sense of affection, mutual care, and secure bonding. The surrounding environment is a lush, vibrant tropical forest, with sunlight dappling through dense foliage, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. Focus on the fine feather details and expressive eyes of the parrots, the tender intimacy of their pair bond, and the secure, natural beauty of their tree cavity nest within the verdant jungle.

"A historically accurate depiction of a Ghost Dance, focusing on the late 19th-century context, specifically around 1890-1891. The scene shows Lakota (Sioux) or Northern Paiute people (specify one or include elements of both, but avoid anachronisms) participating in the ceremony.

Setting: A vast, open prairie or high desert landscape, under an expansive sky. The time of day could be dusk or night, with a prominent moon or stars, or a bright, clear day. Avoid overtly spiritual or ethereal elements like floating spirits unless explicitly requested for a later, more symbolic iteration. The focus should be on the earthly ceremony.

Participants: A circle of men, women, and children, hand-in-hand, moving in a slow, rhythmic shuffle or circular motion. Their faces show a mixture of devotion, hope, and determination. Some may have expressions of trance or deep concentration.

Attire:

    Ghost Dance Shirts/Dresses: Emphasize the unique Ghost Dance shirts and dresses, which were typically made of muslin or canvas. These garments should feature painted designs such as stars, crescents, birds (especially eagles or crows), buffalo, human figures, or crosses. The designs should appear hand-painted, not mass-produced.

    Hair and Adornments: Participants should have braided hair or wear it long. Some may wear feathers (e.g., eagle or hawk feathers) in their hair. Minimal traditional adornments, as the focus was often on the Ghost Dance shirt itself. Avoid overly elaborate or Hollywood-esque depictions of war bonnets unless relevant to a specific individual and context.

    Footwear: Moccasins or bare feet.

Action/Atmosphere:

    The dancers are moving in a counter-clockwise circle, with a central figure or a small group often leading.

    The overall mood is one of earnest prayer and communal spiritual effort. The dance should convey a sense of hope for renewal and the return of the old ways, rather than aggression or despair.

    There might be a central pole or small fire as a focal point, around which the dance takes place.

    Avoid any signs of direct conflict or violence; the Ghost Dance itself was a non-violent spiritual movement.

Specific Considerations for Accuracy:

    Wovoka's Influence: The teachings of Wovoka (the Northern Paiute prophet) emphasized peace, hard work, and the return of the buffalo and deceased ancestors. The scene should subtly reflect this hopeful, redemptive spirit.

    Regional Variations: If focusing on Lakota, consider their specific interpretations, which sometimes included more imagery related to their warrior traditions on the shirts, but still within the peaceful framework of the dance.

    Respectful Portrayal: Ensure the depiction is respectful and avoids any stereotypical or caricatured representations of Indigenous people. Focus on their human dignity and spiritual sincerity.
