Hippo in a Giant Clock: Surreal Digital Art

A hyper-detailed digital painting of a plump hippopotamus inside a colossal antique clock. The hippo stands on the minute hand, looking around with a gentle smile. The inner chamber is exposed: massive brass gears, cogs, riveted steel walls, and a weathered clock face with Roman numerals behind him. Warm amber light pours in through a glass ceiling, creating dramatic highlights on the hippo's smooth gray skin and the metallic textures. Surreal, dreamlike atmosphere; the clock's gears slowly turn; floating motes of dust in the light. Style: cinematic digital art, high resolution, crisp textures, with a slightly painterly touch. Color palette: golds, bronzes, deep blues and jade greens. Optional accessories: tiny velvet waistcoat, monocle, and scarf for whimsy. Composition: centered hippo, clock components filling the frame, shallow depth of field toward the back gears for depth. Mood: magical, whimsical, slightly steampunk.
