Desert Canyon Mystery: Cartoon Detective

A cartoon detective wearing a wide-brim hat and trench coat stands at the mouth of a sunlit desert canyon. He grips an oversized magnifying glass and a small notepad, in a bold 2D cartoon style with crisp black outlines and cel shading. The sandy ground shows footprints and a torn clue bag. Towering red-orange canyon walls with layered rock strata rise behind him, a glowing rock arch in the distance, and a bright turquoise sky above. Cacti, tumbleweeds, and swirling dust motes dot the windy scene. The detective is mid-stride with an exaggerated pose and a confident grin, large expressive eyes, and a hint of noir swagger. Warm golden-hour lighting casts dramatic shadows across the canyon, giving the scene a playful, adventurous mood with a detective vibe.
