About this image

A rich fantasy steampunk scene depicts two women operating glowing control panels inside a brass-filled workshop. A dignified man sits on a luxurious throne, while ornate machinery, a dragon statue, and a jellyfish-filled tank contribute to a moody, magical atmosphere.

It already is. That link in my comments goes to the blogged story. It's ongoing so check the TOC for the last added date if you've been there before

Already told that to @panos, but feel like this needs repeating. The illustration style you used looks fantastic for this type of images!

Very cool. Wonderful image. I like the way the aquarium grabs your eye and the lavender/pinkish goo is oozing into the tank.

I found it and clapped as much as I could. Left a comment there with a question
@CaylaCatz · Apr 21, 2026
