Female adventurer with whip in comic pulp style

A dynamic, hand-drawn illustration of a female adventurer in a comic book style, reminiscent of classic pulp action heroines. She has dark, tousled hair pulled into a ponytail, with bangs falling over her forehead. Her eyes are sharp and intense, with a determined expression. She wears a grey fedora adorned with leopard print trim and fluffy pink accents. Her outfit consists of a simple, light pink tank top and rugged, grey cargo pants, cinched with a utility belt featuring multiple pouches. She is holding a coiled whip in her right hand, and her left hand is extended forward, poised for action. The background is a plain, textured off-white, emphasizing the subject. The art style features bold linework, cross-hatching for shading, and a limited color palette with soft watercolor washes. The lighting is even, highlighting the character's form and pose. The composition is a medium shot, angled slightly to capture her adventurous spirit and readiness. The mood is adventurous, confident, and slightly fierce.
