Basilisk in a Time Machine — Concept Art

An ultra-detailed concept art scene of a colossal basilisk entwined with a steampunk time machine. The basilisk has emerald-green scales with gold accents, a menacing head, and a glowing amber eye; it coils around a brass-and-glass device studded with gears, pistons, and rune-inscribed panels. Behind them, a luminous chrono-portal vortex swirls in blue and amber, with clockwork subassemblies and drifting dust. The setting is a dim, industrial workshop: riveted metal walls, tangled cables, steam plumes, and atmospheric haze. Lighting is cinematic, with cool blue rim highlights and warm brass glints, dramatic shadows, and reflective surfaces on glass and polished metal. Perspective from a low angle to emphasize scale and menace; textures should feel tactile: polished brass, dark wood, reptilian scales, glass, and worn leather. Overall mood: fantasy myth meets futuristic technology, a dramatic sci-fi fantasy concept art piece.
