Archipelago on a Salt Flat — Comic Book Scene

Wide salt flat stretching to the horizon, its cracked white crust sparkling under a blazing sun. An archipelago of small, jagged islands rises in the distance, their silhouettes bold and cartoonish. Rendered in a high-contrast comic book style with thick ink outlines, dramatic shadows, and Ben-Day dot shading. Color palette: electric blues and turquoise for sky and water, stark whites for salt, with warm sunset yellows, oranges, and pinks. Low camera angle emphasizes the vast, reflective surface and gives the islands a dramatic sense of scale. Optional wind-swept salt dust, sparse vegetation on the islands, and a stylized lone explorer or boat for scale with dynamic action lines.
