> Huge interlocking stones, deep joints and sparse openings create a primeval sense of weight and enclosure.

## About this style

Huge irregular stones enclose space through interlocking joints. Rough faces, narrow gaps and broad shadows produce a primeval structure that seems supported by a few essential masses.

Megalithic worlds communicate weight through large blocks and visible support relationships.

A lintel spanning two stones, beside a much smaller figure, can establish monumentality through scale.

### How the style changes different subjects

- **Portrait**: Heavy masses simplify the figure, emphasizing volume and shadow over clothing detail.

- **Landscape**: Huge solids and deep openings create imposing architecture or rock formations.

- **Object**: A few weighty blocks replace objects, highlighting thick walls, joints and shadows.

**Subjects**: Choose large buildings, cliffs, geometric objects or plazas with small figures to establish weight and scale.

## Reusable style prompt

```text
Reshape the existing contours through cyclopean masonry. Massive irregular stones fit closely together with clearly visible dry joints, while corbelled layers and offset supports form stable openings and turns. Use restrained natural stone colors, selectively rough surfaces and weighty side shadows. Build thickness and scale through the interlocking relationships of unequal blocks, preserving the recognizable organization of the original forms.
