The scene the art director wrote
A sunny day at a packed stadium, with Arsenal and Chelsea players clashing on the field, while Liverpool and Ipswich players walk off in the background, and a glimpse of the Augsburg team celebrating their win on a nearby scoreboard-free video wall is absent, instead, fans in the upper tier wave flags and banners with team colors.
Inside the house scaffold (the fixed style + safety clauses), the full prompt the painter received
Sprawling painted editorial illustration for a newspaper front page: A sunny day at a packed stadium, with Arsenal and Chelsea players clashing on the field, while Liverpool and Ipswich players walk off in the background, and a glimpse of the Augsburg team celebrating their win on a nearby scoreboard-free video wall is absent, instead, fans in the upper tier wave flags and banners with team colors. Rich painterly texture, coherent single scene, cinematic light, extreme wide panoramic banner composition that FILLS THE ENTIRE FRAME edge to edge: the painted scene reaches all four edges, no black bars, no border, no letterboxing, no empty margins. Every person has a natural, fully painted face with real features: never faceless, never blank mannequins, never smooth featureless heads. All people are fictional and resemble no real public figure. Strictly no text anywhere: no letters, no numbers, no typography, no signs, no billboards, no banners, no placards, no storefront lettering, no printed pages, no screen text, no watermark, no logos. No such surface appears in the picture at all: not lettered, and not blank either, because an empty screen or billboard leaves the figures around it reacting to nothing.
