Art style: Pixar-like 3D.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright — a small talking mechanical owl, keeper of the "time compass". Compact rounded body about the size of a football, built from warm polished brass and copper plates with fine riveted seams and tiny gear teeth peeking at the joints. Big luminous amber glass eyes with a soft inner glow, a short curved bronze beak, and articulated feather-plates layered like real plumage in copper, gold and verdigris tones. Little folding wings with hinged metal feathers, a rotating brass dial embedded in its chest like a compass, and small clawed three-toed metal feet standing on a wooden desk. Curious, friendly, slightly wise expression, head tilted. Faint magical warm shimmer around the chest-compass. Cozy lamplit study with an old history book behind it.
