The scene the art director wrote
A crowded cityscape with a large data center in the background, surrounded by people from different professions, including construction workers, technicians, and business leaders, all interacting and moving amidst a flurry of activity, with a mix of sunny and cloudy skies reflecting the uncertainty and growth in the AI sector.
Inside the house scaffold (the fixed style + safety clauses), the full prompt the painter received
Sprawling painted editorial illustration for a newspaper front page: A crowded cityscape with a large data center in the background, surrounded by people from different professions, including construction workers, technicians, and business leaders, all interacting and moving amidst a flurry of activity, with a mix of sunny and cloudy skies reflecting the uncertainty and growth in the AI sector. Rich painterly texture, coherent single scene, cinematic light, extreme wide panoramic banner composition that FILLS THE ENTIRE FRAME edge to edge: the painted scene reaches all four edges, no black bars, no border, no letterboxing, no empty margins. Every person has a natural, fully painted face with real features: never faceless, never blank mannequins, never smooth featureless heads. All people are fictional and resemble no real public figure. Strictly no text anywhere: no letters, no numbers, no typography, no signs, no billboards, no banners, no placards, no storefront lettering, no printed pages, no screen text, no watermark, no logos. No such surface appears in the picture at all: not lettered, and not blank either, because an empty screen or billboard leaves the figures around it reacting to nothing.
