Comic Forest Ranger Scene
Highly detailed single-panel comic illustration of a friendly forest ranger standing on a sun-dappled trail in an old-growth forest. Mid shot, slightly low angle to emphasize heroism. Gender-neutral ranger (mid-30s), sturdy build, olive-green uniform jacket, wide-brim ranger hat with badge, hiking boots, utility belt with map, compass and walkie-talkie, binoculars in hand, pointing toward a distant trail. Surroundings: tall mossy firs and ferns, sunbeams breaking through the canopy, a winding dirt path, small wildlife (deer peeking between trees, red fox at the edge of the trail, raven perched on a low branch), and a rustic wooden trail sign with an engraved map. Mood: warm, hopeful, adventurous. Comic style: clean bold ink lines, expressive hatching and crosshatching, dynamic composition and panel energy, slight halftone shading and screentone texture, cel-shaded colors with a natural yet saturated palette and subtle painterly brush texture. Lighting: golden-hour rim light with soft volumetric fog and rays filtering through leaves. Composition: ranger in the left third foreground, animals and sign in midground, receding forest leading the eye into depth; clear focal point on the ranger's face and gesture. Optional speech bubble with friendly text 'Stay on the trail!'. Render in high detail, cinematic, crisp linework, high resolution (4k). --ar 16:9 --v 5 --q 2
