Finished hand-drawn editorial illustration, 2:3 portrait, risograph-inspired print with broad marker contours. One oversized navy fabric swallowtail pennant is tied to a slim vermilion mast cropped along the left edge. A gust pulls its broad belly toward the upper right; one short pointed tail flicks upward while an absurdly elongated lower tail curls down toward the bottom third. Make the asymmetrical silhouette immediately legible, with just two broad fold marks showing fabric tension. Warm ivory background, deep navy and vermilion spot inks, subtle paper grain and slight registration offsets. Flat colour, no gradients, no intricate hatching. Off-centre arrangement with generous empty space around the descending tail and in the upper-right corner. No people, scenery, motion arrows, text, logos or watermarks.
