The Gearwright Merchant in a Steam Gear Factory

Ultra-detailed 3D render of a seasoned merchant in a massive gear factory. The merchant stands near a workbench, wearing a weathered brown leather coat over a waistcoat, brass goggles pushed up on his head, soot on his cheeks, sturdy boots and fingerless gloves. He holds a brass coin purse and a parchment ledger, with a leather satchel at his hip. In his other hand, a gleaming brass gear he’s inspecting as if negotiating a trade. The background features towering interlocking gears, riveted steel walls, steam pipes, and conveyor belts with sparks flying from a nearby forge. Warm molten-orange light from furnaces blends with cool blue ambient glow, creating dramatic cinematic lighting and reflections on metal surfaces. Textures include micro-scratches, patina, rust, and realistic wear. The camera angle is slightly low and close, with a shallow depth of field keeping the merchant in sharp focus while gears blur in the distance. Style: steampunk industrial, hyper-realistic 3D CGI with ray-traced lighting.
