Mermaid in a Brass Steampunk Workshop

Photorealistic mermaid with a copper-brass tail, iridescent scales, and flowing hair, wearing a Victorian steampunk outfit (leather corset, brass buckles, lace trim, gear motifs) with goggles perched on her head. She stands in a cluttered steampunk workshop: riveted brass walls, exposed steam pipes, hanging chains, and warm amber gas lamps. A large wooden workbench is strewn with tools—tongs, hammers, a brass sextant, gears, and a partially assembled fin mechanism. Behind her, a massive clockwork engine and rotating gears frame a porthole that reveals a misty sea. Steam curls in the air, reflections dance on polished brass, and the scene is lit with dramatic shadows. The image is ultra-detailed, cinematic, with realistic textures: leather, metal patina, patinated copper, wet-looking scales, and fine micro-scratches, shot with shallow depth of field for a photographic feel. 8k realism, hyper-detailed, cinematic lighting, high-resolution textures, photorealism
