Finished playful editorial illustration, 5:6 portrait. One oversized backless bench on a bare lilac plain, viewed from an elevated three-quarter angle. Its three broad seat planks form a clear Penrose impossible triangle: each corner seems plausible locally, but the complete loop cannot exist. Two tiny squat legs beneath the enormous seat exaggerate its proportions. Keep the triangular opening large and the illusion legible at thumbnail size. Chunky pixel construction, stepped silhouettes, broad marker-like colour fills and slightly irregular pixelated outlines; sparse coarse dithering only on shaded faces. Softly rounded outer corners, crisp perspective junctions. Monochrome pale lilac, lavender and deep violet. Low horizon, flat overcast daylight, faint ground shadow. Place the bench below and slightly left of centre with generous empty sky. Simple, expressive, no intricate hatching or diagram annotations. No people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
