Finished hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, square 1:1. One snail in side view rests low and left of centre on a small crescent-shaped moss patch. Give it a comically oversized, lopsided ochre shell, wider than it is tall, with one bold loose spiral. Its tiny squat lavender body barely extends beneath the shell; two short rounded tentacles lean gently forward. Keep the snail anatomically recognizable, without a human face. Moss is a single muted olive shape with a softly scalloped edge. Warm cream background with generous empty space above and to the right. Broad marker colour fills, slightly uneven dark-plum contours, a few visible stroke overlaps, simple flat shapes and an immediately legible silhouette. Quiet, settled posture; no motion marks. No intricate hatching, diagrams, people, text, logos or watermarks.
