Prompt:
Masterpiece steampunk surrealism, epic wide-angle panorama.
A vast, sprawling steampunk metropolis seen from an elevated cinematic viewpoint. The city forms a dense labyrinth of bronze and copper riveted buildings, pipes and gears exposed, with streets lined by trees whose leaves are spinning silver clockwork gears.
Art style fusion: Joan Miró–inspired playful abstract shapes integrated into architecture, Van Gogh–like swirling skies, Beksiński-style dystopian textures and decay, combined with retro-futuristic mechanical design reminiscent of classic Japanese sci-fi illustration.
The population consists of wind-up stitchwork dolls, brass-limbed humanoids, and mechanical animals moving through the streets.
A shimmering steam river filled with glowing crystals cuts through the center of the city, refracting light into subtle rainbow spectra and mist.
Mixed-media surface realism: thick impasto paint texture, cracked paste, embedded glass beads, sand-like grain — hyper-detailed, tactile, physically believable materials.
Lighting: dramatic chiaroscuro with whimsical gaslight illumination; deep shadows and strong highlights.
Color palette: rich jewel tones — emerald green, antique gold, cobalt blue, burgundy red — high contrast, cinematic saturation.
Sky: a surreal cosmic backdrop — swirling galaxy, colorful orbiting planets — backlit by a warm setting sun, blending fantasy with steampunk realism.
Rendering style: ultra-detailed, high-clarity, dreamlike realism; glossy high-end 3D look, global illumination, ray-traced reflections, depth and scale emphasized.
Mood: whimsical yet grand, surreal, fantastical, epic.
