Finished editorial illustration, portrait 3:5. One plump ivory scallop nestled in a single open coral-pink half-shell, viewed obliquely from above. Exaggerate the shell into a comically broad, slightly asymmetric fan with just five bold radial grooves; keep the scallop squat and unmistakably fleshy. Position the shell diagonally across the lower-right portion of the frame on a pale honed-travertine ledge, indicated by one thick edge and a few sparse ochre pore marks. Generous empty warm-cream space above and left. Expressive hand-drawn marker contours, broad flat fills, risograph-inspired coral, ochre and dark aubergine spot colours, subtle ink-edge misregistration. One simple soft shadow grounds the shell. Legible at thumbnail size, no intricate texture or hatching, no diagram elements. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
