Whispering Lake in an Autumn Sandstorm - Anime Style

An anime-style illustration of a tranquil lake set in a desert landscape. The lake's surface mirrors a stormy orange-pink sky as a fierce sandstorm sweeps in, swirling golden dust over the water. Clean cel-shaded lines and soft gradients render distant sandstone cliffs and wind-blown grasses along the shore. In the foreground, a lone traveler in a cloak shields their face from the wind, hair and fabric streaming behind them; the wind's gusts ripple the lake, creating shimmering reflections. The atmosphere blends serenity and chaos: warm sunset light, hazy dust motes, and dramatic shadows. Composition is a wide panorama with the lake in the lower half and the tempest in the upper sky. Color palette includes ochre, burnt sienna, peach, and pale blue reflections; high contrast, dynamic motion lines, and painterly textures to emphasize anime aesthetics.
