Bard in a Whirlwind: Cartoon Tornado

Whimsical cartoon-style illustration of a cheerful bard riding inside a swirling tornado. The bard wears a bright, patchwork cloak, striped stockings, and a jaunty feathered hat, and they play a gleaming lute. The tornado is stylized with bold spiral lines, wispy debris, and sparkling musical notes trailing in the wind. Colors are vibrant and saturated: sunset sky with pink, orange, and purple hues, sunny highlights, and bold black outlines. The bard's eyes are large and expressive, with a big smile, conveying courage and playfulness. The ground below shows a tiny village blurred by speed, reinforcing motion without danger. The overall mood is whimsical and adventurous, not violent. Style blends classic 2D cel-shading with modern vector crispness; high contrast, flat shading, and dynamic diagonals to emphasize motion.
