The Oversized Ammonite
A broad pastel ammonite fossil on a tiny museum plinth, seen from a low viewpoint in a loose geometric marker illustration.
Small 640×512, Medium 1200×960
Finished editorial geometric illustration, landscape 5:4, expressive hand-drawn marker treatment. One natural-history museum exhibit: an absurdly oversized, squat ammonite fossil standing upright on a tiny, broad-footed lavender plinth, positioned in the right half. Low floor-height viewpoint, slightly off-axis. Build the fossil from a broad peach oval and one thick, loosely drawn spiral; an asymmetric outer edge and only three chunky ridge marks keep it playful and instantly legible. Overlapping translucent peach, mint and lavender marker fills, gently irregular dark-plum contours, minimal paper texture. A single broad pale diagonal sweep crosses the fossil like passing light, with one simple grounding shadow below. Warm-ivory museum background, ample empty space on the left, no additional exhibits. Simple bold silhouettes, not a scientific diagram or educational plate. No people, text, labels, logos or watermarks.
