River with Restless Forks
A chunky pixel illustration of an asymmetric branching river, with blue cores inside pale aqua channels on a warm sand ground.
Small 480×640, Medium 900×1200
Finished editorial illustration, portrait 3:4, overhead view of one branching river across a flat warm-sand floodplain. A river enters from the lower-left edge, swells into a comically broad rounded bend, then divides into three short, uneven forks reaching toward the upper right. Keep the network connected and instantly legible. Chunky sprite-like pixel geometry, stepped contours and broad marker-textured fills; one continuous landscape, not a sprite grid or icon sheet. Pale translucent aqua channel edges surround saturated cobalt-blue cores, with a few simple overlapping colour blocks suggesting marker layering. Exaggerated width contrasts, blunt branch ends, deliberately asymmetric silhouette. Flat diffuse light, no dimensional ribbon effects. Place the river mainly across the left and middle, leaving generous unmarked sand at upper right. Minimal detail, no hatching, no diagram symbols, no people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
