Crystal Ball in a Terraforming Station

Comic book style illustration of a crystal ball in a futuristic terraforming station. A luminous crystal ball sits on a chrome pedestal amidst holographic consoles, bioluminescent plant bays, glass domes, and ionized air. Bold ink lines, high-contrast shading, and Ben-Day dots give a classic retro superhero look. Foreground features a suited engineer at a control console and a robotic assistant, with a viewport showing a terraformed planet outside. Dynamic action lines, caption boxes, and sound effects like CRACKLE accompany the scene. The crystal ball radiates emerald and violet glow that bats across metallic surfaces, casting dramatic reflections. Composition emphasizes a dramatic diagonal perspective with rich saturation: greens, teals, purples, and gold highlights. Panel-inspired layout hints at a two-page spread.
