Finished editorial illustration, 9:16 vertical. One mangrove in shallow tidal water, viewed low and slightly obliquely. Its comically elongated terracotta stilt roots bow outward into an asymmetric shelter beneath a squat, oversized olive-green canopy. Clearly connected roots descend from the short trunk into the water. Place the tree slightly left of centre, with open pale cream space along the upper right. A few broad curved ripples cross the muted turquoise water between the roots; a simple warm mud bank grounds the lower edge. Oil-paint look using broad opaque colour masses and softly dragged brush edges, combined with loose hand-drawn marker contours for collection cohesion. Minimal leaf detail, no intricate bark texture, no hatching. Warm, approachable, strongly legible at thumbnail size. One scene, restrained palette, no people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
