A two-tier shelf machine holds matching orange hexagonal blocks, connected by an oversized teal drive belt in a bold hand-drawn print style.

Finished editorial illustration, 2:3 portrait. A single fantastical, squat two-tier shelf machine seen from a slightly elevated three-quarter angle. Each broad shelf holds one identical oversized orange hexagonal prism at exactly the same position. An enormous teal rubber drive belt loops around two chunky side rollers, coupling the shelves into one synchronised mechanism. Keep the construction simple and sculptural, not technical. Exaggerated shelf width, stubby supports, thick belt, asymmetric outer silhouette. Place the machine below centre with generous open space above. Linocut-inspired solid ink shapes, sparse carved white notches, expressive hand-drawn marker contours; no intricate hatching. Deep aubergine machine, orange blocks, teal belt, warm cream background. Pale luminous outlines pick out the blocks and upper edges. Minimal flat shadow grounds the object. Legible at thumbnail size. No people, arrows, diagrams, text, logos or watermarks.
