Finished hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, landscape 1.85:1, presented as one narrative comic panel with a slightly uneven dark ink border. A whimsically enlarged bacterial colony sits on a polished midnight-blue tabletop, occupying the right half. Seven touching, soft capsule-shaped cells form a lopsided leaning heap: several comically squat, two extravagantly elongated, one with a pinched dividing waist. Warm coral and peach fills, broad irregular marker contours, no faces or internal anatomy. Low tabletop viewpoint; beneath the colony, a compressed, muted blue-coral reflection follows its silhouette. Cool twilight fills the plain interior background, with a narrow warm highlight along the cells’ left edges. Leave generous uncluttered blue space on the left. Simple flat fills, sparse marker overlap, strong thumbnail silhouette. Playful imaginative scale, not a scientific diagram or medical scene. No equipment, people, text, logos or watermarks.
