Assyrian Princess on a Throne with Two Lions

Create a contemporary painterly version of a scene carved in rock, depicting a sophisticated young Princess, sitting on her throne, flanked by her two pet lions, inside the palace of the Assyrian King Assurnasirpal II. Traditional gouache and oil-paint sensibility translated into digital art, visible gestural brushwork, textured opaque brushes, dry-brush strokes, loose sketch lines, layered paint, translucent washes, broken edges, painterly imperfections and spontaneous mark-making with expressive abstract masses with burnt blues, vermilion, rust and warm copper. An air of sophisticated confident and presence, artistic imperfection, tactile painterly surface, premium contemporary illustration, expressive and organic, framed in vermilion, rust and warm copper tones that complement the scene, cinematic visual hierarchy, elegant asymmetrical composition with elements of decalcomania and gold leaf.
