Square storybook illustration inspired by carved relief engraving. One naturally proportioned coral-red crab stands on the crest of a low, pale sandstone coastal rock. View from crab-body height beside the rock, looking slightly upward, making its broad shell, stalked eyes and two claws clearly silhouetted against a plain midnight-blue sky. Walking legs brace convincingly against the rock; claws held slightly apart, without human gestures or facial expressions. Build the crab and rock from broad raised-looking shapes with bevelled edges, recessed contour lines and a few deliberate engraved grooves. Soft upper-left light catches the relief edges and casts shallow shadows into the cuts. Restrained coral, sandstone and midnight-blue palette. Intimate storybook atmosphere, clear thumbnail silhouette, generous empty space above. Simple intentional execution, no intricate crosshatching, no decorative border. No text, logos or watermarks.
