Eco-Sci-Fi Starship Watered by Botanist

Whimsical eco-sci-fi single-panel visual gag (setup→obstacle→payoff), misty valley at dawn: a colossal monolithic starship dominates the top two-thirds of frame; lower-left foreground, an earnest square-jawed park-ranger botanist on a short, canted ladder braced to a retracting landing leg, tiny watering can spilling mid-air; upper-right midground, a massive alien groundskeeper casually hoses the entire ship, an elegant S-curve arc of water leading the eye back to the ranger; delicate vines, mushrooms, and seedlings sprout along the ship’s seams, with blank plant tags (unreadable). Extreme scale contrast, mistaken-identity gag (ship treated as planter), plus prop mishap (tilting ladder & spill). Composition: rule-of-thirds anchor on ranger; clear figure/ground via value stacking (dark FG, mid-value MG, pale BG); starship swallows 2/3 of frame; water arc forms a ‘smile’ of negative space. Lighting: ethereal backlight and volumetric mist; crisp rim light on hose and droplets; ambient occlusion in flora. Palette: muted moss/ochre/dusty teal/foggy violet world; one safety-orange tool and bright chrome water highlights as accent pops. Line & texture: crisp angular contours and selective speed lines for the ranger; soft atmospheric blocky strokes for ship and sky; dry-brush tooth, stipple, cross-hatch, leaf veining clustered around points of attention. Form: blocky heroic anatomy, monolithic wedges/cylinders for the ship. Micro-props: squirrel mimicking the ranger with a thimble ‘bucket’; spilled seed packets with leaf icons only. No text or legible signage, no brands, no logos, no signatures. Camera: slightly low angle 35 mm, f/8 depth, global illumination, sharp focus on ranger and water arc, gentle depth haze in BG. Medium feel: gouache/acrylic wash over ink on cold-press paper grain, subtle halftone in midtones, faint pencil underdrawing. Style evoking Teagan White × John Harris × John Romita Jr, emphasizing monumental scale haze, angular comic silhouette, ornate organic detailing, and controlled palette with accent pops
