Art style: Pixar-like 3D.
A close-up of Leo standing on a sand dune, facing a massive, shadowy beast that is only partially visible as a cloud of dark smoke and violet eyes. Leo lets out a powerful, defiant roar, his mane bristling. The lighting is dramatic and back-lit by the setting sun, creating a halo effect around the lion. The atmosphere is epic and courageous. Palette of deep crimson and gold.
