A clockwork whale swims through an ancient underwater temple

A breathtaking, ultra-detailed masterclass artwork capturing a surreal underwater steampunk world. A majestic, giant clockwork whale crafted from polished brass, copper pipes, riveted iron plates, and glowing pressure gauges swims through an ancient submerged sunken temple. Translucent glass portholes along its hull reveal glowing warm golden interiors and bubbling steam vents. Beside the mechanical leviathan, a Victorian deep-sea diver in a heavy brass helmet and leather suit hovers, holding an illuminated brass lantern. Intense volumetric god rays and shimmering underwater caustics pierce through the deep cobalt blue water, casting brilliant golden highlights on the metallic surfaces. Masterclass light refraction, rich tactile textures, definition of High Visual Impact and Technical Skill, 8k resolution, masterpiece.
