Desert Canyon Lion: Concept Art Vision

An epic concept art scene of a majestic lion standing on a rocky ledge in a desert canyon. Red-orange sandstone cliffs tower around, with wind-swept dust creating shafts of light through a hazy sky. The lion's mane catches a warm backlight, and its gaze is fixed on the distant horizon. Cinematic, painterly digital painting with high detail in textures and scale. Wide-angle perspective, dramatic lighting, long shadows, and rugged rock surfaces with faint ancient carvings suggesting a forgotten civilization. Color palette of burnt sienna, gold, and pale blue; the mood is monumental, solitary, and awe-inspiring.
