A Closer Look at Cargo
Limited-palette pixel art of a tall customs officer inspecting fabric rolls inside a wide, shallow shipping crate.
Small 512×640, Medium 960×1200
Finished editorial illustration in chunky limited-palette pixel art, 4:5 portrait. At a quiet port inspection bay, one exceptionally lanky customs officer bends from the left toward a comically wide, shallow wooden shipping crate in the lower right. Plain navy uniform and peaked cap, tiny neutral face, simple mitten-like hands. One hand holds an oversized flashlight, its broad cream beam revealing two chunky coral fabric rolls inside the open crate. The hinged lid leans back. Slightly elevated three-quarter viewpoint; the crate interior and checking gesture are immediately legible. One muted container silhouette behind them establishes the port without clutter. Five flat colours: warm cream, navy, coral, ochre and dusty blue. Crisp square pixels and irregular stepped outlines echo loose marker drawing; no smooth vector curves, intricate texture or hatching. Warm afternoon shadows, generous empty upper-right space. No text, logos or watermarks.
