eccentric steampunk inventor prompts

An ultra high definition, hyper-detailed digital painting of a reimagined scene from The Wizard of Oz, depicting the mysterious "man behind the curtain" as a weary, eccentric steampunk inventor. He stands in a sprawling, dimly lit control room hidden behind a heavy velvet green curtain. The man wears a mismatched suit patched with brass gears, old leather, and mechanical monocles — a relic of invention and deception. His expression is a haunting mix of guilt, genius, and surprise, caught mid-motion as he pulls a massive lever that controls the illusion of the great and powerful Oz.
