Design a 2D stylized illustration of 'Boulder,' a moose-like creature of the ear

Design a 2D stylized illustration of 'Boulder,' a moose-like creature of the earth element. Boulder should be in a strong, defensive stance, with earth shards forming a shield around it. The background should feature a dense forest floor with towering trees, fallen logs, and earthy tones, creating a grounded and robust environment that reflects Boulder’s resilience and the protective nature of the earth element.
