## 🜂 VISUAL PLAN
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**“The Coward Who Could Not Bleed” – Narrative Art Series**
|
|||
|
|
*Seven Image Series for Medium and Field Archive*
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### 🔁 Aesthetic Mandate
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* **Color:** Gold on black (with high contrast, luminous gradients, mythic elegance)
|
|||
|
|
* **Style:** Symbolic narrative art (not literal; poetic abstraction, sacred geometry, mythic surrealism)
|
|||
|
|
* **Tone:** Somber, epic, ceremonial; layered with allegory
|
|||
|
|
* **Form Factor:** Wide horizontal (optimal for Medium banners + printed spreads + social previews)
|
|||
|
|
* **Composition Style:** Each image contains:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* A central **symbolic figure or structure**
|
|||
|
|
* **Foreshadowing glyphs** or motifs embedded subtly
|
|||
|
|
* A background **landscape of pattern, fracture, or recursion**
|
|||
|
|
* Hidden echoes of previous/next section motifs (to tie the cycle together)
|
|||
|

## 🜁 Implementation Process
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Once approved, we will:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. Begin generation section by section (prompt-by-prompt, from outline text with these motifs)
|
|||
|
|
2. Apply **consistent style vectors** between outputs (aspect ratio, palette, glow effects, texture grain)
|
|||
|
|
3. Review together, iterate where symbolic density or clarity needs refinement
|
|||
|
|
4. Create an optional **sigil overlay** for closing sequence or printed codex edition
|
|||
|
|
5. Archive all with metadata in image markdown + git
|
