A boy sits in a forest garden watching a glowing green forest sprite holding a butterfly. Hand-painted illustration.

Style: Soft, hand-painted watercolour or pastel digital illustration. Mood: Gentle, whimsical, warm. Palette: Seasonal tones — soft greens (Spring), golden yellows (Summer), warm ambers/rusts (Autumn), cool silver-blues (Winter) — all tied together with muted earthy neutrals for Huxley and the forest background. Character Design: Huxley is around 6–7 years old, with a curious but thoughtful expression, wearing a simple jumper, shorts, and gumboots (can change scarf/hat for seasons). Forest sprite is small, whimsical, with moss-and-flower clothing, glowing slightly. Lighting: Each page subtly uses light to reflect the season pouch in focus. Consistency Tips: Always keep Huxley’s clothing style, sprite’s design, and background forest/garden environment the same — only shift colours/lighting for mood. Prompt: "A 6-year-old boy named Huxley sits on the edge of a small garden, knees pulled up, staring at a bare patch of soil. The garden is quiet, with soft afternoon light. In the distance, between tall gum trees, a faint magical green glow flickers." See more
