Top-down bird's-eye view of a tiny kitchen inside a mouse burrow. A Russian fairy-tale boy mouse in a blue kaftan and red sash stands at a wooden table, stirring a pot. On the table: a samovar, a cutting board with cheese, a tiny knife, clay bowls, a bunch of herbs, a candle. Around: a cast-iron stove, hanging dried mushrooms and herbs from the ceiling, shelves with jars, a barrel of water, a woven basket with bread. Vertical illustration drawn in vibrant alcohol marker illustration style, reminiscent of children's storybook art. Bold vibrant marker strokes, visible hatching and cross-hatching, kraft paper texture, sketchy whimsical linework, warm fairy-tale palette — deep browns, golden ochres, warm reds, rich blues. Background nearly black, rendered with soft marker strokes for velvety depth. Cozy underground burrow atmosphere, warm candlelight, consistent character design. Vertical portrait orientation, 2:3 aspect ratio.
