An anthropomorphic owl scholar, dressed in a finely tailored steampunk waistcoat and spectacles, pores over ancient texts in a dimly lit, cluttered study filled with arcane artifacts and whirring clockwork mechanisms. Ornate brass lanterns cast a warm, flickering glow on the dusty shelves and leather-bound books. The style is reminiscent of vintage naturalist illustrations, with intricate linework and a muted, sepia-toned color palette, evoking the detailed aesthetic of Victorian-era scientific journals.
