Art style: Tim Burton-inspired.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright on all four paws, the small dog centered with a cozy morning kitchen filling the sides. Max is a tiny scruffy terrier-mix, about knee-high, with a rounded body, short legs and delicate paws resting on a wooden floor scattered with a fallen slipper and crumbs. His coat is soft shaggy caramel-and-cream fur with tufty eyebrows, floppy folded ears and a stubby wagging tail. Big round glossy dark eyes full of eager cheer, a shiny black button nose, tongue lolling in a happy open-mouthed grin. He wears a worn red collar with a little brass bell. Body leans forward mid-bounce, one front paw lifted playfully, radiating loyal morning-rush excitement. Warm sunrise light spills through a window behind him.
