Euglena in the Light
An elongated green euglena with a red eyespot and looping flagellum crosses a cream light patch on a dark teal ground, rendered in loose marker shapes and risograph-like inks.

Finished editorial illustration, vertical 9:16, expressive hand-drawn marker work with risograph-inspired flat inks. One euglena has an absurdly elongated, slightly bent green spindle body, a tiny coral-red eyespot near its leading tip, and one oversized flagellum curling in a loose loop. Place the body diagonally across the lower two-thirds, its leading tip entering a broad warm-cream patch of light from the upper right. Deep teal background with generous uninterrupted space at upper left. Softly swollen asymmetric contour, one broad cream highlight, two simple darker-green interior strokes. Bold imperfect marker edges, sparse paper grain and subtle ink misregistration; green, teal, cream and a tiny coral accent. Quiet, playful discovery, not a scientific diagram. Flat artwork, no page mockup, no intricate anatomy, no hatching, no people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
