Kraken of the Oasis: A Desert Comic Splash

Epic comic-book style illustration of a colossal kraken rising from a crystal turquoise oasis pool in the middle of a sun-scorched desert. Bold ink lines with thick outlines, high-contrast colors, and halftone shading. The kraken's writhing tentacles wrap around palm trees and sandstone rocks, sending spray and water droplets into the hot air. Distant sand dunes under a bright blue sky, a glimmering oasis reflecting sunlight, and a lone desert traveler with a scarf reacting in awe at the edge of the pool (optionally a small caravan in the background). Include dynamic action lines, splash effects, and classic onomatopoeia like KRAK! in bold comic lettering. Style reminiscent of vintage superhero graphic-novel art with exaggerated foreshortening and vibrant blues, golds, and teals.
