Small Shoot, Wide Stump
An overhead forest illustration with an oversized broken stump, a fresh lime-green shoot and sparse foliage around a quiet clearing.
Small 640×360, Medium 1200×675
Finished editorial illustration, 16:9 landscape. Near-overhead view of a small clearing deep inside an island forest. Left of centre, one exaggeratedly broad, squat broken tree stump has an irregular dark-brown top and a few large jagged edges. A tiny lime-green shoot with two oversized leaves grows from its living rim, the clear focal point. Cropped fern fronds and three simple canopy masses enter from the frame edges; muted sage forest floor opens across the right half. A soft patch of warm sunlight touches the shoot. Build the scene from coarse, stepped pixel silhouettes and a limited palette, with broad hand-drawn marker streaks inside the colour blocks. Playful asymmetry, simple shapes, quiet atmosphere, readable at thumbnail size. One continuous scene, not a sprite grid or icon sheet. No intricate bark patterns, diagrams, people, text, logos or watermarks.
