Steampunk Manticore in a Brass Workshop

Ultra-detailed concept art of a manticore in a steampunk workshop: a lion-bodied creature with copper fur, brass armor plates, and a humanoid face with cybernetic implants. Its segmented clockwork tail ends in a gear-stinger. The workshop is cluttered with riveted steel walls, steam pipes, pressure gauges, hanging wrenches, blueprint scrolls, and glowing glass vials. Warm amber lantern light casts dramatic highlights as steam rises from engines and sparks fly from a workbench. Three-quarter view, slightly low angle to emphasize scale, high-detail painterly textures, cinematic mood. Color palette of brass, copper, teal patina, and smoky grays; materials include metal, wood, leather.
