Ember Sundial
An exaggerated ash-gray sundial with a tall orange fin casts a diagonal shadow across its face on a sunlit kitchen windowsill.

Finished hand-drawn editorial illustration, square 1:1. A single comically broad, shallow sundial rests toward the lower left on a sunlit kitchen windowsill. Three-quarter view from slightly above. Its oversized ember-orange triangular gnomon rises sharply from an ash-gray oval stone dial, casting one clear charcoal shadow across a few short radial hour notches; no numerals. Bold imperfect marker contours and flat marker fills, with sparse, generously spaced stipple dots along the stone edge and shadow boundary for an engraving-inspired character. Minimal kitchen setting: a cropped window edge and two large warm-gray tile shapes, no utensils or other objects. Strong diagonal sunlight, restrained volcanic ash and ember palette. Keep background contours crisp but subordinate. Generous empty space above and to the right, legible silhouette at thumbnail size. No intricate hatching, diagrams, people, text, logos or watermarks.
