## Emperor of Mankind
**Warhammer 40k**

&gt;He denied the gods, shattered their idols, and forbade humanity to kneel —
yet in the end, he became the throne-bound divinity of a billion prayers.
&gt;A god who never wished to be worshipped,
and a savior imprisoned by the faith he tried to erase.

Nannybot did not allow me to insert the prompt. I'll write it here:

```prompt
A monumental dualistic portrait of the Emperor of Mankind, split vertically into two opposing halves, both occupying equal visual weight, dramatic and oppressive composition, aspect ratio 1:1.

Left half: the Emperor as the radiant master of humanity — towering, regal, godlike presence, glowing golden armor covered in ornate imperial engravings, burning halo of psychic light behind his head, eyes filled with cold determination and absolute authority. Gold, ivory and warm light dominate this side, but painted in a raw, expressive, chaotic manner — thick oil paint texture, aggressive brush strokes, painterly abstraction, imperfect edges, visible strokes and splashes of paint, inspired by Bojan Jevtic, with additional influence from John Blanche and Igor Sid — baroque, grimdark, religious symbolism, distorted proportions, chaotic ornamentation, painterly violence instead of clean lines.

Right half: the Emperor bound to the Golden Throne — a decaying, half-mummified corpse, skeletal face stretched over dry flesh, hollow eye sockets faintly glowing with dying psychic embers. Rusted, filthy, ancient machinery fused directly into his body: thick tubes, cables, arcane mechanisms, corroded metal implants, mechanical respirators and life-support systems piercing his chest, skull and spine. The Golden Throne is not glorious — it is oppressive, industrial, corroded, grimy, ancient, stained with time and suffering. This side is heavily influenced by Zdzisław Beksiński — nightmarish, surreal decay, organic-mechanical fusion, existential horror, painterly desolation, muted browns, sickly reds, dirty bronze, bone and ash tones.

The transition between halves is not clean — the two realities bleed into each other with torn paint, scratches, warped forms, cracked gold dissolving into rust, light collapsing into darkness. No sharp boundaries, only emotional contrast.

Overall style: dark fantasy grimdark fine art illustration, chaotic painterly abstraction, expressive brushwork, heavy texture, visual noise, oppressive atmosphere, sacred and profane intertwined, tragic, monumental, uncomfortable to look at. No clean lines, no smooth gradients, no photorealism — raw artistic chaos, like a forbidden relic painting hanging in a decaying cathedral.

Ultra-detailed, dense composition, overwhelming amount of small symbolic details, painterly depth, museum-grade dark fantasy artwork.
