Finished editorial illustration, 2:1 landscape. One satellite dish viewed nearly straight into its shallow circular bowl, occupying the left half with ample empty warm-grey background to the right. Exaggerate the bowl into an enormous round silhouette above a broad, squat concrete footing. A compact central receiver held by two short chunky supports makes the dish unmistakable; no long projecting arm. Olive-green moss patches cling to the footing. A single pale mist band partly veils its bottom edge. Expressive hand-drawn marker contours combined with wood-engraving-inspired charcoal shapes and a few broad ivory carved cuts; no intricate hatching. Flat muted slate, charcoal, ivory and olive palette, slightly irregular ink edges, simple diffuse light. Quietly mysterious but playful, strongly legible at thumbnail size. One continuous scene, no people, no diagrams. No text, logos or watermarks.
