At the top of the Illustration Style image, hand-letter “Happy Birthday Chris” in bold old gold with a crisp black outline, gently arced.

Hand-drawn illustration with fine linework and textured brush strokes, warm expressive palette of old golds, ambers, ochres, inky blacks, moss greens, and creamy whites. Full-bleed portrait composition.

Centerpiece: a cheerful, anthropomorphic wolf in a Wolves (Wolverhampton) scarf—black and old gold stripes—leading a rambling club along a countryside path paved like a giant chessboard. The wolf wears scuffed hiking boots and has a frothy beer moustache. Slung over his backpack: a sizzling frying pan with a comically victorious full English (eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms) waving little steam ribbons; a rolled-up chessboard picnic blanket; and a couple of well-thumbed books poking out, with playful spines reading “Bishops & Bivouacs” and “The Old Gold Way.”

Foreground details:

- A wooden waypost carved as a rook, arrows pointing “Church,” “Pub,” “Bookshop,” and “Molineux.”

- A portable chess set open on a stump—pawns marching like they’re rambling; one sausage-shaped pawn sneaking a move.

- A pint of rich amber ale balanced on a flat rock, catching warm light.

Midground: a cosy stone church with a square tower, soft light in the windows, and a noticeboard shaped like an open book; a couple of ramblers in black-and-old-gold beanies wave small pennants. A bench carved like a stacked pile of books sits by the path.

Background: rolling West Midlands hills, hedgerows, and hints of city rooftops; subtle banners in black and old gold fluttering near a distant pub.

Textures: crisp ink lines for characters and props; brushy, textured strokes for foliage and sky; gentle paper grain visible.

Small, cheeky caption: on a little pub chalkboard by the path, hand-letter “Rambling, Rooks & Real Ale—Up the Wolves!” in chalky white with a tiny old-gold underline.
