Plateau Over a Clockwork City

Digital painting of a windswept plateau overlooking a vast clockwork city. The plateau's edge is jagged basalt with tufts of hardy grass; a solitary explorer in a reflective helmet stands at the rim, gazing down at the engineered metropolis. Below, brass and copper towers twist and interlock via exposed gears, piston-driven arches, steam vents, and gear-rimmed bridges; domes of glass reflect a world of clockwork life. The city hums with distant turbine blades and ticking machinery. The sky is a gradient of magenta, teal, and deep blue with subtle digital glitches and pixelated stars. Neon amber light cast on metal surfaces creates crisp specular highlights and long shadows across the plateau. The overall style blends cyberpunk and steampunk into high-detail digital art, cinematic composition, and a sense of awe at the contrast between natural vastness and engineered civilization.
