Finished editorial illustration, 5:6 portrait. One kingfisher in side profile faces right, perched on a short diagonal branch entering from the lower-left edge. Comically squat body, oversized crested head, exceptionally long straight pointed beak, tiny feet and short tail. Keep the kingfisher recognizable with a muted teal crown and back, pale throat patch and mustard breast; olive wing and dark olive beak. Place the body left of centre, with the beak extending into generous warm-ivory negative space. Impasto-inspired painting simplified into broad opaque strokes and a few visible paint ridges, combined with expressive hand-drawn marker contours. Slightly uneven edges, bold readable silhouette, one small dark eye, no individual feather detailing. Flat warm ground, no scenic background or extra props. Playful, tactile and deliberately simple at thumbnail size. No text, logos or watermarks.
