Time-Traveling Soul Gem in a Cartoon Machine

A vibrant cartoon-style scene inside a retro-futuristic time machine. In the glowing cockpit, a luminous soul gem sits on a pedestal, its facets radiating blue and violet light with tiny wisps of soul-energy swirling inside. A cheerful cartoon traveler with oversized eyes and a wide grin operates colorful, oversized levers and big round dials; gears, brass tubes, and neon panels whirl around them. The machine's windows reveal streaks of past and future landscapes as chronal energy spirals. Bold black outlines, flat shading, and bright, saturated colors give the scene a playful, whimsical mood.
