Full prompt

Scene:
A vast terraced cliffside village carved into the face of a massive coastal mountain overlooking a shimmering turquoise sea. Narrow stone stairways wind between stacked homes with hanging lanterns, rooftop gardens, and small wooden bridges connecting levels. Below, waves crash against jagged rocks while distant trading ships drift across the horizon. Seabirds circle through drifting coastal mist, and warm sunlight catches the edges of the terraces, emphasizing the enormous vertical scale and layered architectural depth of the settlement.

Style:
Fantasy hand-drawn watercolor illustration style. Traditional watercolor rendering with visible pigment splashes, fluid paint diffusion, and softly blended tonal transitions. Delicate hand-illustrated linework with expressive drawn detailing and organic sketch-like contours. Soft, gentle color palette emphasizing airy tones and subtle saturation rather than strong contrast. Painterly layered watercolor textures combined with illustrative fantasy art aesthetics. Decorative, richly illustrated environments with numerous small background details integrated into the composition. Elegant full illustration treatment prioritizing handcrafted visual charm, artistic softness, and classic storybook-inspired fantasy rendering.
