Tiger in a Sandstorm: Comic Book Showdown

An intense, cinematic illustration of a tiger in a desert sandstorm, drawn in classic comic-book style. Low-angle perspective looking up at a powerful tiger mid-stride, with bold black ink outlines and exaggerated motion lines. Swirling dust and sand particles fill the air, wind-blown fur, and a dramatic, stormy sky lit by orange-gold sunset backlighting. Use a high-contrast palette: vivid orange and white tiger with deep black stripes against tan desert tones and blue-gray storm clouds. Apply halftone shading and Ben-Day dot textures in shadows, cross-hatching for musculature, and dramatic rim lighting. Include speed lines, implied panel borders through composition, and subtle motion blur around the paws. Background shows rolling dunes, distant rock silhouettes or sparse cacti, and gusts of wind raising sand. Overall mood is fierce, epic, and bold, suitable for a superhero comic cover.
