A richly detailed gouache painting of a handsome Victorian gentleman inventor seated in an ornate brass-and-gear steampunk time machine. He wears a tailored suit with waistcoat and pocket watch, inside a crumbling carriage house littered with blueprints and tools. Through the broken walls glows a futuristic London skyline of the year 2200, with soaring towers, neon lights, and hovering airships—melding Victorian history and sci-fi futurism.
