“Architectural concept art with expressive sketch-paint hybrid style, combining loose ink linework and painterly washes. Emphasis on unfinished, gestural strokes that suggest structure rather than fully define it. Dominant monochrome palette (soft whites, cool greys, charcoal blacks) contrasted with luxurious metallic gold accents applied selectively as highlights.
Use high-contrast lighting to create a sacred, monumental atmosphere, with glowing edges and reflective surfaces that feel ethereal. Gold textures appear brushed, imperfect, and organic, as if applied with dry brush or liquid metal paint. Lines are architectural yet sketchy, featuring construction marks, guide lines, and abstract scribbles to enhance a conceptual, draft-like aesthetic.
Overall mood is elegant, dramatic, and spiritual, blending classical European gothic sensibility with modern fine-art illustration. The composition feels tall, vertical, and majestic, with a cinematic sense of scale. Texture resembles watercolor paper mixed with ink and digital paint, slightly rough, matte background, minimal scenery, strong focus on form and light.”
