Ashen Gate Banner Panorama v4

Generated from: Hand-painted dark fantasy panorama illustration, very wide cinematic horizontal composition, visible oil and gouache brushwork. A gloomy apocalyptic city in a deep mountain pass. Two enormous jagged rock mountains flank a colossal fortified stone gate in the middle distance; the mountain tops are so tall they rise up OUT of the top edge of the frame and are cut off by the picture border. Squat wooden shacks, tiled roofs and stone huts cling in terraces up both steep mountainsides, and a dense cluster of buildings crowds the foot of the great gate. One broad dusty dirt road runs ACROSS the scene from right to left, passing in front of the gate and exiting the LEFT edge of the frame; the road stays level and horizontal side-on across the picture, seen from the side, it does NOT wind toward the viewer and does NOT come toward the camera. Mist and smoke hang in the valley. Muted desaturated palette: ashen grey, dusty ochre, cold blue-grey shadow, no bright or saturated colours. Overcast storm sky with heavy clouds. Gritty oppressive mood. Concept art painting, not photoreal, not a 3D render, not flat vector art.
