a whirlwind of feathers drawn with crisp shading prompts

16 days ago

Ultra-detailed black-and-white drawing in the precise, mathematically surreal style of M. C. Escher — a perfectly aligned checkerboard surface in flawless perspective stretches across the scene. On the left, a rigid line of uniformed policemen marches forward; on the right, a determined crowd of protesters walks toward them. At the exact center where the two groups meet, their human forms begin a seamless Escher-like tessellation morph: clothing patterns and body shapes transform into alternating light-and-dark bird forms, wings emerging from arms, legs tapering into tails, faces becoming beaks. The morphing figures interlock geometrically, each transition stage rendered with perfect precision. From the center upward, the fully formed birds spiral into a mathematically perfect vortex, a whirlwind of feathers drawn with crisp shading, pulled toward a vanishing point in the sky. Shadows and lighting are stark and architectural, enhancing the impossible geometry — graphite shading, infinite detail, surreal symmetry, no color, Escher-level precision.
