Full prompt

Use this prompt

Create a raw neo-expressionist mixed-media painting on a dirty off-white canvas, dominated by a front-facing lion head with a gaunt, exhausted, slightly deranged expression. The lion has a huge scruffy mane in ochre, burnt orange, brown, black, and yellow, with spiky hair tufts radiating upward, asymmetrical wide circular eyes, a long yellow muzzle, a black nose, thin whiskers, and clenched vertical teeth like a grimace. Use dense scratched linework, splattered paint, dry-brush texture, scraped marks, drips, cracks, and chaotic graffiti-like scribbles across the whole surface, evoking Jean-Michel Basquiat-inspired outsider art. The background is a distressed cream wall filled with exactly 6 small doodle elements: a black-rayed sun in the upper left, a red circular face-like symbol on the left, a blue rectangular figure with a tiny face on the mid-left, a black boxed face near the lower left, a tall stick-figure face in the upper right, and a black rectangular panel with white occult-like symbols in the lower right. Keep the composition square, tightly cropped around the lion's face, with high contrast, messy hand-drawn energy, no clean digital polish, and a gritty gallery-painting texture. Customize the subject as {argument name="animal subject" default="lion"}, the emotional expression as {argument name="expression" default="gaunt and exhausted"}, the dominant palette as {argument name="color palette" default="ochre, burnt orange, brown, black, yellow, and dirty cream"}, the art style as {argument name="art style" default="neo-expressionist mixed-media graffiti painting"}, and the canvas format as {argument name="canvas format" default="square"}.
