At the top of the Illustration Style image, Happy Birthday

Hand-drawn illustration with fine linework and textured brush strokes, balanced composition, and a warm, expressive color palette. Sincere, heartfelt mood.

Scene: A sunlit celebration where history and sport meet beside a tranquil desert oasis. In the foreground, a kind-eyed teacher in a soft cardigan stands between a dignified Roman centurion (laurel wreath, scarlet cloak) and a friendly Viking (braided beard, round shield). Together they present a round birthday cake iced like a classic black-and-white football, resting in a laurel wreath; tiny candles are arranged in a Roman-numeral-inspired pattern (no readable number).

Environment: A small, grassy five-a-side pitch blends into warm sand by a turquoise waterhole framed by arching palms. An easel shaped like an ancient scroll shows playful arrows and dots for a friendly game plan, with a little heart over the goal. Corner flags nod to history: a Roman standard and a Viking spear topped with a round shield—no lettering. By a palm, an acoustic guitar leans in the shade as a subtle wink to “Oasis.” Soft leafy confetti drifts through golden-hour light; delicate Roman friezes and Viking knotwork textures appear on stones and shield rims, uniting the histories.

Style and composition notes: Balanced triangular arrangement of the three figures; warm smiles and gentle eye contact. Fine pen-style outlines with watercolor-like washes; subtle paper grain; warm terracotta, honey-gold, and olive tones contrasted with cool teal water. Keep the image full-bleed and image-first. Title lettering at the top is hand-lettered, Roman-inspired capitals in warm ink with soft texture. Avoid any other text or numbers on props (no SPQR, jersey numbers, etc.).

Small hand-lettered caption at the bottom (single short line): “A class-ical birthday: laurel-crowned goals, Viking cheers, and your own oasis.”
