A futuristic, steampunk-inspired scene: An ant's mechanical body, crafted from intricate gears and machinery, is shrouded in translucent, watery flesh. The creature stands waist-deep in a pool of water, with bubbles rising to the surface, creating a sense of movement and life. The gear-encased limbs are posed in mid-stride, as if frozen in motion. Soft, blue-green lighting illuminates the scene from above, casting a warm glow on the watery skin.
