Flat, high-contrast illustration of a mongoose and snake locked in an intense, swirling battle. Design is stylized to wrap around the arm but remains flat and stencil-ready. Bold, clean lines with intentional negative space for a striking silhouette effect. Minimal details focus on clarity, with distinct separation between mongoose fur and snake scales, avoiding blending. Subtle ornamental flourishes follow the flow of the composition, adding depth without overcrowding. Neo-traditional meets surreal style, capturing a timeless, intense energy, with a seamless vertical flow designed to contour naturally when wrapped. --niji 6
