Anime Scientist on a Vast Salt Flat

An anime-style scientist stands on a vast salt flat under a bright azure sky. The character wears a sleek, futuristic lab coat with translucent visor, cyan accents, and a utility belt equipped with a holographic scanner. The ground is a reflective sea of salt crystals with wind-carved patterns; distant salt mountains loom on the horizon. A small drone hums beside them and a handheld hologram projects glowing blue data. Lighting is crisp and high-contrast with strong sun glare, creating dramatic shadows and a surreal, dreamlike atmosphere. Color palette: white, pale blue, cyan, and pink highlights. Style features: clean anime linework, soft cel shading, dynamic pose, sense of exploration and discovery.
