Finished hand-drawn charcoal editorial illustration, 16:9 landscape. One axolotl floats against a plain charcoal-black underwater field, occupying the left two-thirds with generous empty space on the right. Its squat coral body has a broad head, tiny tucked legs and an exceptionally long tail curling tightly beneath it like a comma. Six oversized external gill branches form bold, asymmetric pale-mint fans around the head; suggest a faint glow with a soft rubbed edge, not detailed lighting effects. Small dark eyes and a simple closed mouth, alert rather than smiling. Strict tritone palette: charcoal black, muted coral, pale mint. Broad rubbed-charcoal masses, blunt hand-drawn contours and lightly dusty edges; simple confident shapes with the economy of a chunky marker illustration. Strong thumbnail silhouette, no intricate hatching, scenery or props. No text, logos or watermarks.
