Hello! I'm looking to have an image created to use as my main layout and figured I would turn to all of the talented artists on HP to do so.

The Prizes

First Place: $1 billion and a 6-month upgrade
Second Place: $500 million and a 1-month upgrade
(Note: If you would prefer to have the cash value of the upgrade, I will sell the upgrades in the auction and send you the proceeds)
(Second Note: I would be honored to buy all non-winning entries for the market value of your art)

The Concept

I would like an image that features an Arabian horse blended with elements of Palestinian heritage and culture in a Mediterranean or semi-arid setting. The horse (preferably black, chestnut, or rich blood bay) would ideally be adorned with traditional Palestinian jewelry and cultural motifs to symbolize a connection to the land and heritage.

Some ideas for adornments/extra motifs:
1. Tatreez Embroidery: Patterns representing different elements - Examples Here
2. Traditional Jewelry: Gold jewelry - Examples Here
3. Key Motif: The symbolic Palestinian key (representing the right of return) - Example Here
(Note: Not all elements or motifs need to be included! I trust your artistic discretion)

Some suggestions for background/vibe:
1. A semi-arid or Mediterranean landscape as the backdrop, with rocky hills, olive trees, and a soft, warm light. Earthy colors, with rich browns, greens, and touches of golden sunlight.
2. An olive grove or scattered olive trees, a dry stone wall, or a distant hill to give depth. Jasmine flowers could be placed at the scene's base or subtly surrounding the horse to represent hope and resilience.
