Create a single full-page children's book illustration. Use the attached character reference images and match each named character exactly — same shapes, colours and clothing; do not redesign them. SCENE: Leopard (match attached reference) presses Anansi (match attached reference) flat into dusty red earth with one paw while four of Anansi’s legs wiggle out. They are in tall grass, and Anansi wears a rumpled garment. COMPOSITION: Compose ONE full-bleed scene with a single continuous background that fills the whole image, characters at natural size placed toward the RIGHT. Keep the LEFT 50% text area genuinely open — plain, continuous background with NO characters, objects, props, hanging items, plants, patterns or decorations in it — while the rest of the scene fills the frame naturally. That LEFT 50% text area must be the SAME continuous background colour as the scene (not a flat panel, not a different shade, no dividing line). Do NOT shrink or squash the characters. Book text will be overlaid in the LEFT 50% text area. Do not include any written text, letters, numbers, captions, speech bubbles, signs, labels, logos, or watermarks anywhere; the image must be purely illustrative.

Leopard swats Anansi flat in the dust. His legs wag and twist.
