Bard in a Clockwork City — Concept Art

A bard stands on a rain-slick cobblestone street amid a sprawling clockwork city. Concept art style: brass and copper towers with giant gears turning, steam vents, and riveted arches. The bard wears a weathered long coat and scarf, carrying a lute that resembles a brass instrument with exposed gears; musical notes shimmer in the air as glowing runes. Nearby, automaton street musicians, wind-up pigeons, and glowing streetlights move through a foggy, steam-powered avenue. Warm amber gaslamp lighting contrasts with cool blue smokestacks in the distance. A massive clock tower dominates the skyline, its pendulums ticking as skylights and gears illuminate the scene. The image should feel cinematic, moody, and highly detailed, capturing a concept-art vibe for a steampunk fantasy city with depth, texture, and dynamic perspective.
