A Russian fairy-tale boy mouse in a blue kaftan and red sash sits on the floor, counting gold coins from a small chest. Around: sacks of grain, jars of honey and jam, bundles of dried herbs, strings of onions and garlic, a barrel of apples, a hanging lantern, a woven basket. A tiny mouse hole in the corner leads to another room. 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.
