Image prompt
Create a vertical fantasy illustration looking down from a Greek temple over an impossibly blue sea. A tall limestone cliff curves from the lower center toward a white classical pavilion on the distant right. A chain of tiny cream sailing boats stretches across the cobalt water. A miniature army with scattered red banners gathers along the cliff base.
Frame the far right with a close, partially visible armored guard seen from behind, an engraved silver helmet, olive green cloak with cream Greek key trim, and an upright sword held beside a fluted marble column. Leave most of the picture for the sea and chalk cliffs. Place small brilliant cumulus clouds along the distant horizon. Use extremely dark shadows, dry stippled textures, coarse printed grain and a limited cobalt, ivory, olive and black palette. Evoke a vintage illustrated myth rather than a polished digital render. No lettering, border or interface.
