Salt with a Tall Streak
A pale rock-salt cluster with an exaggerated upright crystal, illustrated in bold ink shapes against a muted terracotta background.
Small 320×640, Medium 600×1200
Finished editorial illustration, portrait 1:2. One raw rock-salt cluster, not table salt: a squat, broad base of interlocking cubic chunks supports one absurdly elongated rectangular crystal leaning slightly right. Three-quarter view, positioned below and right of centre with generous clear space at upper left. Ivory crystal faces, pale blue shaded planes, a few dusty peach mineral inclusions; muted terracotta background and one short dark ground shadow. Playful asymmetric silhouette, immediately legible at thumbnail size. Linocut-inspired bold charcoal contours and broad ink masses, with a few wide carved-looking white gaps; loose hand-drawn marker edges and simple flat colour fills. Suggest soft upper-left light through just two tones per face. Minimal surface detail, no intricate hatching, no diagram or specimen labels. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
