Gecko with a Grand Tail
A rose-coloured gecko with oversized toe pads and a long crimson tail, painted in broad strokes against a pale blush ground.
Small 640×346, Medium 1200×649
Finished editorial illustration, landscape 1.85:1. One gecko viewed from directly above, its tiny squat torso positioned left of centre, four short legs spreading into comically enormous rounded toe pads. Its long crimson tail sweeps toward the right and curls upward in one generous arc. Slightly tilted head, two tiny dark-rose eyes; clearly recognisable reptile, not a human mascot. Impasto-inspired painting built from broad opaque daubs, a few visible raised paint ridges, and loose hand-drawn marker contours. Deliberately simple shapes and flat colour masses, no individual scales or intricate hatching. Dusty rose body, deeper rose outlines, pale blush background; the tail is the sole crimson accent. Plenty of empty ground around the silhouette and inside the tail's curve. Playful, asymmetric, legible at thumbnail size. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
