## Prompt

```text
Create a vertical monochrome mythic engraving in the style of a 19th-century Gustave Doré woodcut, rendered with extremely dense hand-etched crosshatching, swirling contour lines, stippled shadows, and aged ivory paper texture. The scene shows a tiny lone wanderer, {traveler_type}, standing in the lower foreground of a vast barren desert plain with low rocks, scrub, distant ridges, and pale mountains receding toward the horizon. Above the traveler, filling most of the sky, an immense supernatural face of {deity_identity} emerges from storm clouds and cosmic wind, looking down with solemn, unreadable authority. The deity has a long flowing beard, swept-back hair, a jeweled crown, earrings, a radiant circular halo or celestial disk behind the head, and one enormous hand reaching through the clouds as if blessing, summoning, or judging the wanderer. The sky is a vortex of engraved cloud bands and spiraling wind currents, with dramatic negative space and fine linework forming cloud curls around the deity’s beard and hand. Use {color_palette}, high contrast but no modern digital gloss, no bright colors, no typography except a tiny unobtrusive artist signature near the bottom edge. Composition should be cinematic and surreal: the traveler is very small at bottom center-left, the colossal divine apparition dominates the upper two-thirds, creating awe, scale, silence, and sacred desert atmosphere.
