Worried Steampunk Gnome Wizard Carving Runes

A steampunk gnome wizard in a red robe and black hat, with wires and mechanical parts integrated into his body, intensely focused on carving intricate symbols onto a wooden tablet. He has wide, worried eyes and a long nose. The art style is detailed, whimsical cartoon illustration with a touch of dark fantasy. Warm glow from a forge in the background contrasts with cool, dark industrial machinery and gothic architecture. Lighting is dramatic and atmospheric, highlighting the gnome and his work. Colors are rich and earthy with pops of blue from holographic displays and red from the robe and glowing runes. A cybernetic skull hovers nearby, connected by wires, displaying holographic schematics. The wooden tablet rests on a plush red velvet cushion, with ancient-looking scripts and a small light source. Intricate details like tools, scrolls, and wires are abundant.
