Quiet Giant
A dark navy whale silhouette with an oversized head and tiny flukes crosses a muted blue background, edged in warm ivory.
Small 640×512, Medium 1200×960
Finished hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, landscape 5:4. One whale in side profile drifts diagonally, its enormous rounded head low on the left and its tapering body ending in tiny raised flukes toward the upper right. One broad curved pectoral flipper makes the silhouette unmistakable. Solid deep-navy fill against a flat muted powder-blue background; no internal anatomical detail. A warm ivory rim follows the upper contour in a few broad, irregular marker strokes, with small interruptions suggesting shimmering light. Exaggerated but graceful proportions, slightly wobbly handmade edges, subtle marker overlap only. The whale occupies the lower two-thirds, leaving generous quiet space above and clear margins around its tail. Reflective, tender atmosphere rather than cartoon comedy. Simple bold shapes, legible at thumbnail size. No other animals, scenery, intricate hatching, text, logos or watermarks.
