Finished editorial illustration, 3:2 landscape. One owl perched on a short, broad stump in the right third, its enormous rounded head tilted inquisitively above an absurdly narrow upright body. Two large ivory facial disks, small dark eyes, a tiny ochre hooked beak, short folded wings and two simple feet make the owl unmistakable. Construct it from overlapping rust, plum and ivory felt cutout shapes, with subtly soft edges and loose hand-drawn dark marker contours. Broad marker fills, minimal textile texture, no intricate feather patterns or stitching. A single low moss-green ground strip anchors the stump near the bottom edge. Warm cream background, generous uninterrupted empty space across the left half. Flat, soft illumination with only slight shadows between felt layers. Playful asymmetry, strong thumbnail silhouette, deliberately simple. No text, logos or watermarks.
