Wind-Swept Anime Child in a Sandstorm

An anime-style illustration of a brave child caught in a sandstorm. The child wears a hooded cloak, a scarf whipping around their neck, protective goggles perched on their forehead, and sturdy boots. They crouch behind a small dune, one hand shielding their face while the other grips a tattered map. Golden sand swirls around in spirals, wind lines and dust motes lighting up in the air. The sky is dramatic with orange, pink, and cool blue-gray storm clouds. Dynamic anime styling with sharp lineart, bold cel shading, and a sense of motion; wind-blown hair and scarf, with motion lines conveying speed. Add subtle details: a compass pendant, a weathered map’s edge frayed, faint oasis on the horizon, and distant cacti and rock silhouettes. Color palette: warm desert tones—ochre, sienna, tan—contrasted with cool dust-lit blues and purples. The mood is adventurous and hopeful, not graphic or violent, focusing on resilience and curiosity.
