Finished editorial illustration, vertical 9:16. A single polar headland rises from the lower left, its comically narrow dark-rock base supporting an enormous asymmetric crown of ice that projects toward the right. A slim crescent of navy sea curves around its foot. Low viewpoint, bold readable silhouette; pale open sky occupies the upper right. Impasto-inspired painting using a few broad, thick-looking cream and cyan palette-knife strokes, integrated with expressive hand-drawn navy marker contours. Keep the paint texture schematic, not finely detailed. One distant charcoal cloud band suggests faraway thunder; cool diffuse light and a restrained peach reflection along the ice edge. Playful exaggerated proportions, carefully fitted colour shapes, simple flat water, useful breathing room. No people, intricate hatching, diagrams, text, logos or watermarks.
