Sphinx Time Traveler in a Cartoon Time Machine

A vibrant cartoon-style illustration of a friendly sphinx with a lion body and human head, wearing aviator goggles, piloting a whimsical time machine. The machine is brass and wood with gears, levers, ticking clocks, and glowing teal cores. A neon blue time warp portal swirls behind, revealing a desert with pyramids in the distance under a starry sky. Bold outlines, flat shading, and bright colors give a 2D vector/kids-show look. The sphinx is in a dynamic three-quarter view, from slightly below, with a playful grin and a warm sunset glow on its fur, while teal machine light illuminates its features. Added details: hieroglyphs on panels, steam puffs, and punchy shadows for a lively cartoon vibe.
