Rogue in the Clockwork City: A Comic Heist

Rogue thief in a clockwork city, drawn in bold comic-book style with thick ink outlines and halftone shading. A lean antihero on a rain-slick rooftop, brass goggles pushed up, trench coat fluttering, a belt of steampunk gadgets. The city sprawls below: brass gears, cog-driven towers, steam vents, suspended railways, and bathed in amber streetlamps with neon teal highlights. The rogue leaps between giant gears, grappling hook line taut, energy blade glowing in one hand, the other free for balance. Subtle clockwork pigeons circle; distant drones patrol. Color palette: metallic golds, copper, teal, and deep charcoal. Lighting: high-contrast, cinematic with dramatic shadows and motion lines. Style cues: classic superhero comics, cross-hatching, stippling, film grain, dynamic perspective from below to emphasize height. Mood: audacious, mischievous, dangerous. Aspect ratio: cinematic 16:9.
