Anime Lion in a Desert Canyon at Sunset

An anime-style lion stands at the edge of a vast desert canyon. Golden hour sun casts warm orange and pink light across wind-sculpted sandstone cliffs. The lion has a flowing mane, bold black outline, large expressive eyes, and a regal, dynamic pose as if about to roar. Cel-shaded, high-contrast coloring with crisp line art. Dust motes swirl around its paws; distant canyons recede into hazy heat. The scene features layered rock strata, sparse desert plants, and a shimmering mirage on the horizon. Composition from a low-angle three-quarter view emphasizing the lion's majesty and the towering canyon walls; dramatic lighting with strong highlights and long shadows. The overall mood is epic, adventurous, and slightly magical, in a polished anime aesthetic.
