Cartoon Steampunk Gateway in a Workshop

Cartoon-style steampunk workshop with a grand ornate gateway as the focal point. The gateway is brass and dark wood, surrounded by whirring gears, riveted pipes, and steam vents. Bold cartoon outlines, warm amber lighting, and playful proportions with oversized gears. A friendly inventor in goggles stands to the side, holding a wrench. Cluttered wooden workbenches, clockwork birds, and curling steam puffs fill the scene. The portal glows electric-blue with swirling runes. Perspective slightly from below to emphasize the doorway, creating a sense of whimsy and adventure.
