## Prompt

```text
Create a vertical triptych (three tall panels side by side) in a classic {art_style}.
Subject: {characters} fighting with katanas in front of {architecture}.
Color and mood: Overall brownish, sepia-toned palette with an aged-paper texture. The background should be darker than the foreground, using deep browns and near-black shadows to create depth and drama.
Composition:
- Left panel: The two warriors facing off, swords drawn, tense stance.
- Middle panel: Mid-clash, blades crossing, sparks and motion lines, dynamic poses.
- Right panel: A decisive strike moment, one warrior lunging forward, the other parrying.
Keep the characters’ faces, armor, and clothing consistent across all three panels. Use strong ink outlines, subtle watercolor washes, visible brush strokes, and muted earth tones (ochre, umber, sepia, dark brown). The overall feel should be historical, cinematic, and dramatic.
```
