Octopus in a Mad Scientist Lab (Oil Painting)

An octopus painted in lush oil-on-canvas style, set inside a chaotic mad scientist's laboratory. The octopus sprawls across a cluttered workbench, its many tentacles wrapped around glowing beakers, glass tubes and brass instruments. A pair of brass goggles sits on the octopus's mantle, lending it a quirky mad-scientist vibe. Tubes hiss with neon-green and cobalt-blue liquids; Tesla coils crackle, casting electric highlights and deep chiaroscuro shadows. Thick impasto brushstrokes, warm ochre and sepia tones mixed with sea-green accents. The background is a tangle of chalkboard formulas, wired gadgets, copper pipes, and bubbling flasks, giving a steampunk, Old Master vibe. The mood is eerie, whimsical, and meticulously chaotic, as if the studio hums with strange experiments. Lighting emphasizes dramatic contrasts like a Rembrandt painting, with reflections on glass and wet surfaces.
