Selkie in the Heart of a Giant Clockwork Clock

An anime-style selkie girl sits inside the heart of a gigantic clockwork clock. She has flowing dark-blue hair, luminous sea-green eyes, pale skin, and subtle scales along her arms. Her outfit blends shimmering seasilk and a seal-skin sash, with fins at the wrists. Water droplets cling to her hair as she gazes softly at the viewer. The surrounding clock is a brass-and-steel leviathan of gears, pendulums, and steam vents; a glass clock face above filters pale moonlight into blue rays, creating glistening reflections on polished brass. Water pools on the floor and bubbles rise as mist swirls through the metal corridor. The scene is drawn in crisp anime style with clean linework, cel shading, and dramatic rim lighting; color palette of deep navy, teal, copper, gold, and pearl white. Composition from a slightly low angle inside the clock, using the circular frame to vignette the selkie amid clockwork wonder, evoking mystery and quiet magic.
