Ornate mechanical steampunk dragon perches above a smoky industrial fantasy city at dusk
A towering clockwork steampunk dragon built from weathered brass, rusted iron and exposed gears perches high on industrial factory walkways, glowing embers shining from its eyes and open jaws. Tattered leather wings spread wide behind the creature, overlooking a sprawling smoky Victorian industrial city crisscrossed with iron bridges, smokestacks and misty waterways under a hazy warm sunset sky. The atmosphere is moody, gritty, and rich with retro-futuristic fantasy aesthetic.
