PROMPT:
Create a mesmerizing Steampunk-inspired artwork featuring an intricately designed, ancient clockwork mechanism at its core, set against a rich, velvety dark blue background that evokes a sense of mystery and luxury. Incorporate an abundance of vibrant, bold colors like emerald green, sapphire blue, and amber, while minimizing the use of pink. The clockwork's brass components should appear worn and distressed, with visible signs of aging, as if salvaged from a long-abandoned relic. Surround the clockwork with an orbit of glowing, ethereal orbs that seem to pulse with an otherworldly energy, casting an eerie, soft luminescence across the entire scene. Incorporate subtle, wispy steam trails that rise from the clockwork's intricate mechanisms, adding an air of mystique and wonder. The overall atmosphere should be one of enchanting, mystical curiosity, as if the viewer has stumbled upon a long-forgotten, ancient secret. Ensure the image exudes a sense of photorealism, inviting the viewer to step into this captivating, mystical realm.
