Finished editorial illustration, portrait 2:5. One playful indigo octopus, its oversized pear-shaped mantle placed near the upper right, two tiny eyes looking left. Eight exaggeratedly long arms descend through the frame in an asymmetric corkscrew, with broad open loops and clearly separated tips. Leave a generous uninterrupted strip of muted yellow background along the left. Combine a bold linocut-print silhouette and a few broad carved negative-space notches with loose hand-drawn marker contours and slightly bleeding colour edges. Flat indigo, warm muted yellow and violet only. A single flat violet crescent beside the lower arms acts as an impossible graphic shadow, deliberately unlike the subject's shape. Keep the octopus instantly legible at thumbnail size; no intricate hatching or rows of tiny suckers. No scenery, props or people. No text, logos or watermarks.
