Polished painterly character illustration with softly blended digital brushwork, fine directional strokes in hair, fur and fabric, and gently textured edges. Faces keep natural proportions with softly rounded features, large bright eyes with clear catchlights, expressive brows, a refined nose and a finely drawn mouth; skin is smoothly blended with glowing midtones, facial hair, where present, as fine soft stubble. Animal fur is rendered in soft layered strands. Choose the palette, light and setting to fit the scene, with soft midtones, luminous highlights and a gentle rim glow. Settings stay loosely, softly painted with restrained detail behind crisper figures. No text or lettering. A tall scene of a white beluga whale gliding under clear blue arctic water with chunks of floating ice above, sunlight rays beaming down; no people, softly blended brushwork with luminous highlights and a gentle rim glow. No readable text, lettering, signs or logos anywhere; the picture fills the whole frame edge to edge, painted right to the borders with no blank margin, no checkerboard or transparency pattern.
Palette: ice blue, pearl white and teal; peaceful, deep.
Tall 9:16 portrait frame, composed vertically with the main line of the scene rising through the height of the frame.
