Desert Odyssey: Comic-Style Explorer in Dunes

Comic-book style explorer in a desert of rolling sand dunes. Bold, high-contrast inking with thick outlines and halftone shading. The adventurer wears a wide-brimmed hat, scarf fluttering behind, rugged jacket, cargo pants, backpack, and a coiled rope; they grip a compass while a partially unfurled map snaps in the wind. The sun is low, casting long dramatic shadows across saffron and amber dunes that stretch to a distant rock outcrop. Dynamic pose as if stepping forward, dust clouds and motion lines trailing behind. Panel-ready composition with a caption box and a bold edge for a splash panel. Palette: warm desert tones with teal accents; gritty yet vibrant.
