Neon Arcade Crystal Ball — Comic Book Scene

Center stage in a buzzing retro arcade, drawn in bold comic-book style with thick black ink outlines and Ben-Day dot shading. A towering crystal ball sits on a glossy pedestal, its surface catching neon reflections from the arcade cabinets around it. Inside the ball, a swirling nebula of color, stars, and runic sigils pulses with bright energy. Neon pinks, cyans, and electric greens wash over the scene, creating dramatic chiaroscuro on players in vintage 80s outfits and on the shiny arcade machines. Dynamic motion lines and jagged sound effects like ZAP and BAM float in the air. The composition uses diagonal panels and a slightly skewed perspective to give a cinematic, pop-art arcade moment.
