Wide Plateau, Wild Sky

Finished editorial illustration, 3:2 landscape. One solid black cut-paper plateau occupies the lower third, its exaggeratedly broad, nearly level summit ending in an asymmetric, comically squat escarpment. Distant frontal view with compressed depth; the elevated plain remains unmistakable. Uneven scissor-cut contours, subtly reinforced with chunky black marker edges. Four simple black fallen-rock shapes rest irregularly along the base, subordinate to the plateau. Behind it, one broad luminous pale-green aurora stroke curves upward through a muted violet night sky. Render the sky and aurora in loose, broad marker fills with slight stroke overlap, evoking faded slide colours without photographic effects. Strong thumbnail silhouette, flat shapes, generous open sky, no intricate texture or internal cliff detail. No people, streets, text, logos or watermarks.
