Earth Elemental on a Mesa at Golden Hour

An epic concept art illustration of an Earth Elemental towering over a wind-swept mesa landscape at golden hour. The elemental is formed from jagged rocks, boulders, and mineral veins that glow faintly with molten light. Its eyes glow ember-like, and its body is carved with weathered furrows, stalagmite-like protrusions, and crystal seams. The creature stands on a cracked desert mesa edge, dust swirling at its feet as a distant canyon and layered mesas stretch to the horizon. The sky is a dramatic wash of orange, pink, and purple; sunbeams pierce through wispy clouds, casting long shadows and rim lighting the figure. Foreground includes sparse cacti for scale and wind-stirred dust motes. The lighting is cinematic and high-contrast, with a painterly, semi-realistic style emphasizing texture on rock surfaces, wind-swept atmosphere, and sense of immense ancient power. Composition is wide, 16:9, with strong sense of depth and scale.
