The Last Tall Sliver
A leaning pale-green ice remnant rises from an oversized emerald meltwater puddle, with loose marker outlines and sparse dotted shading.

Finished hand-drawn editorial illustration, square 1:1. One melting ice remnant stands right of centre in a broad, irregular meltwater puddle across the lower third. Exaggerate its proportions: a very tall, narrow, gently leaning tip above a squat rounded base, with one swollen droplet hanging from its side. Slightly elevated three-quarter view; the puddle and shrinking ice read immediately at thumbnail size. Broad loose emerald marker contours, pale mint fills, darker emerald water, sparse engraving-inspired stipple dots concentrated along one shaded edge. Broken dotted contours gently soften the ice without making it hairy. Flat pale-green background with generous empty space at upper left. Simple shapes, subtle marker overlap, no intricate hatching, no diagram elements, no photorealistic blur. No people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
