Steampunk armored lion king above a smoggy Victorian city

A majestic lion king, adorned in intricate steampunk armor and goggles, stands on a precipice overlooking a smog-filled Victorian city. Gears and clockwork mechanisms are visible in the architecture and on his regal attire. The scene is rendered in a hyperrealistic concept art style, with dramatic lighting and a muted color palette, emphasizing the grand scale and gritty atmosphere. Inspired by the detailed world-building of Ian McQue and the photorealistic renderings of Greg Rutkowski.
