Prompt notes

✍️ The cape-turning-into-river transition is the real technical feat — the double exposure needs the color blocks to flow into each other naturally, never pasted on top. The warhorse Wu Zhui is left as a silhouette rather than fully rendered, a deliberate bit of negative space that lets the main figure stand out more — the same trick works for any two-figure composition.

A grand concept poster built on double exposure with a flowing S-curve. Lower right, rendered on textured white rice paper: a miniature Xiang Yu clad in black armor, his scarlet cape sweeping toward the upper left and dissolving into the churning Wu River. Layered over this, a hand-drawn Guochao battlefield unfolds — the Gaixia encampments, drifting poppy petals, the lone silhouette of his warhorse Wu Zhui. Palette holds to profound black, blood red, and antique gold, wrapped in ink-wash mist with generous negative space. Lower left carries the typography: the title '西楚霸王项羽' beside a single vertical line of poetry, '力拔山兮气盖世'. Portrait aspect ratio, 9:16.
