The scene the art director wrote
A crowded trading floor at dusk with worried traders gathered around computer terminals, surrounded by stacks of papers and empty coffee cups, as a large window behind them shows a cityscape with a giant oil tanker docked in the harbor, its lights reflecting off the darkening water.
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 trading floor at dusk with worried traders gathered around computer terminals, surrounded by stacks of papers and empty coffee cups, as a large window behind them shows a cityscape with a giant oil tanker docked in the harbor, its lights reflecting off the darkening water. 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.
