Art style: 2D Hand-drawn.
An extreme wide shot from a low angle looking up at the towering Ishtar Gate of Babylon. The structure is composed of deep cobalt-blue glazed bricks decorated with golden relief carvings of bulls and dragons. A dusty path leads into the city through the massive central arch. The lighting is harsh and direct, typical of a high-noon desert sun, casting deep shadows within the gate's interior. The palette is dominated by intense blues, shimmering golds, and sun-bleached desert sand.
