Flat storybook illustration built from smooth filled shapes with crisp clean edges, a limited palette of deep plum-purple, warm charcoal and one muted pumpkin-orange accent, and a matte print-clean finish with no texture, gradient or outline work. Color sits in even flat fills with a single darker tone per shape for simple two-step shading, and light stays soft and directionless.
A single broad-winged bat flies toward the viewer through the centre of a square 1:1 frame, body upright at middle height, each wing spread wide to reach the left and right thirds of the frame. Its feet grip the two upper ends of a short rectangular ribbon banner that hangs in a gentle shallow curve below its body: one end in each foot, the plate flat, smooth and even, kept wide and readable as a label surface for later typesetting. The bat has two perked ears, round forward-looking eyes and a small friendly grin; the whole bat-and-banner group sits fully inside the frame with clear empty transparent space on every side and nothing touching or cropped by any edge.
The ribbon is a plain unlettered banner with clean swallow-cut ends, completely blank, with no writing, lettering, symbol or decoration anywhere on it, and the bat carries no collar, tag or marking that could read as text. There is no ground and no cast or contact shadow anywhere, because any shadow pass is supplied separately. The entire subject is isolated on a fully transparent background: the transparency is a real alpha channel that reads alpha = 0 at the outer edges, not white, not a colored field, and no checkerboard pattern anywhere.
