Dense ink illustration in black and grey on an open, uncluttered ground, any setting kept to a few sparse marks. Fine linework describes every surface: individually drawn hair strands, engraved cross hatching in garments, glossy wiped highlights and soft airbrushed grey blending on skin, from jet black to paper white. People keep natural proportions with elegant, finely drawn faces: precise brows, crisp eyelids with lashes where present, sculpted noses and defined lips; facial hair where present as fine stippled strokes. Animals keep true anatomy, fur in layered directional hatching. The subjects may be re-posed into dramatic crouching, leaning or seated heroic poses. No text or lettering. A woolly mammoth seen from the front and slightly below, striding forward, great curved tusks fully inside the frame with generous transparent margin on both sides and a shaggy matted coat drawn strand by strand, a few snowflakes around it, the huge head in sharp detail and the legs dissolving into sparse marks, the figure floating alone with no ground plane and no scenery, centred in a tall frame. Isolated on a fully transparent background, alpha = 0, not white, not colored, no checkerboard pattern, real alpha channel, the whole subject complete with a clear transparent margin all round. No readable text, lettering, signs or logos anywhere.
Palette: jet black to white with soft grey blending; monumental, wintry.
Tall 9:16 portrait frame, composed vertically with the main line of the scene rising through the height of the frame.
