Big Rock, Little River
A chunky pixel illustration of an oversized ochre boulder, sparse reeds and a narrow turquoise river, finished with broad marker texture.
Small 480×640, Medium 900×1200
Finished editorial illustration, portrait 3:4. A single outdoor riverbank viewed obliquely from above. One comically oversized, lopsided ochre boulder dominates the lower-left bank; a slender turquoise river curves diagonally past it toward the upper right. Two tiny reed clumps establish the exaggerated scale. Build the entire scene from large, clearly visible square pixel clusters and stepped silhouettes, with broad hand-drawn marker streaks inside the flat colour areas. No smooth vector contours or intricate detail. Dark rust marks define just two planes of the boulder; pale aqua reflected light touches its water-facing underside. Sandy cream bank, turquoise water, olive reeds, restrained charcoal accents. Leave an uninterrupted area of pale water in the upper third for breathing room. Playful proportions, rugged shape, simple thumbnail-readable composition. No people, interiors, text, logos or watermarks.
