Finished hand-drawn marker editorial illustration, 9:16 vertical, one self-contained narrative comic panel showing one moment. Look steeply down from an adjoining upper floor onto a small rooftop performance stage at night. One fictional child stands off-centre in the lower right, pausing halfway through a bow and glancing toward their own enormous winglike shadow stretching diagonally across the floor. Distinctive silhouette: long narrow torso, very short legs, oversized coral sleeves held sideways, tiny simple hands, minimal surprised face. A single low stage light makes a warm cream pool and the exaggerated shadow; the shadow clearly belongs to the child. One low parapet establishes the rooftop, with no audience or skyline detail. Deep indigo, coral and cream, broad marker fills, loose dark contours, sparse chalky floor scuffs. Quiet upper-left breathing room, colour gently thinning toward outer margins. No intricate hatching, text, logos or watermarks.
