Impasto-inspired painted illustration, 3:2 landscape. One unfed adult hard tick viewed directly from above, isolated near the center on a matte warm-ivory ground, occupying roughly half the frame width. Anatomically credible compact oval body, small dark dorsal shield, visible forward-projecting mouthparts, exactly eight jointed legs attached toward the front half of the body, no antennae. Legs remain individually separated, their angular joints easing into subtle inward curves. Restrained burnt-sienna, chestnut and deep-umber palette. Carefully placed raised paint ridges follow the body contours and leg segments; keep the silhouette and anatomical boundaries crisp, with no thick paint obscuring structures. Gentle upper-left illumination reveals the paint relief without dramatic shadows. Controlled scientific specimen framing, generous clean margins, no surrounding objects, no people. No text, labels, logos or watermarks.
