Crystal Ball in a Steampunk Workshop

Cartoon-style illustration of a crystal ball perched on an ornate brass stand in a bustling steampunk workshop. The room is filled with clockwork machines, gears, steam pipes, riveted metal walls, and wooden workbenches. Warm amber gaslamps cast a glow across copper and brass surfaces, creating bold highlights and long shadows. A quirky inventor with round goggles, a leather apron, and grease-streaked sleeves stands beside the table, holding a wrench and gesturing toward the crystal ball, which swirls with mist and faint runes inside. Tools hang on pegboards, steam vents puff softly, and a friendly automaton hums in the background. The style features thick black outlines, vibrant flat colors, and dynamic perspective to emphasize whimsy and invention in a richly detailed cartoon aesthetic.
