Design a 2D stylized illustration of 'Granite,' an elk-like creature with earth

Design a 2D stylized illustration of 'Granite,' an elk-like creature with earth elemental powers. Granite should be depicted in a defensive pose, with stone armor covering its body. The background should feature a mountainous terrain with jagged peaks, rocky outcrops, and a misty horizon, creating a grand and enduring environment that emphasizes the elk's strength and the solidity of the earth element.
