vtxlinocut, Create one original contemporary hand-carved two-block linocut artwork. An adult woman sleeps curled on a plain low bench while an immense whale floats silently in the room above her. Show the whale from its rounded head to the base of its tail; the final tail flukes are intentionally cropped by the top-right edge. Its belly remains clearly separated from the sleeper by a broad uninterrupted space. The woman’s head rests on a folded cushion, one forearm tucked beneath it and the other resting along her bent knees. Vertical portrait 2:3, wide side view. The whale occupies the heavy upper two-thirds and the small horizontal sleeper anchors the bottom; the open interval carries the feeling of impossible protection. Use only golden yellow and cobalt blue spot inks. The yellow plate runs through the whale belly, cushion and left floor plane. The cobalt plate builds the sleeper’s curved back, the whale’s retreating tail and an irregular right-hand field of space. Their deep green overprint makes a large turning shape across the whale’s belly and one attached pectoral fin, with a smaller echo at the cushion. White paper constructs the separating air, the woman’s face and the folded forearm. Carve one broad curving ventral channel and two selective garment folds; keep the animal’s flank uninterrupted. No ocean, stars, floating debris, whale skin detail, fused bodies or pressure on the sleeping person. Use dense flat matte ink fields, sensitive hand-cut edges and restrained local ink skips; shape must dominate grain. Clean near-white paper, full-bleed artwork without an added border. No lettering, signature, watermark, extra independent ink, black outline, continuous gradients, photographic shading, glow, all-over distress or dense decorative hatching.
