Brass Lab: The AI Construct Emerges

Comic-book style illustration of an AI construct awakening in a brass laboratory. A humanoid robot with brass plates, copper seams, and a glowing core in the chest stands amid riveted brass walls, copper pipes, and steam vents. The lab is filled with glass beakers, bubbling liquids, pressure gauges, and mechanical arms; glowing wires and holographic schematics float above a brass control console. Use bold inked lines, strong contrast, and Ben-Day dot shading. Color palette centers on brass-golds, copper tones, teal highlights, and electric blues; dramatic lighting, dynamic perspective, speed lines, and the pulsing core. The mood is retro-futuristic, adventurous, and cinematic.
