Father Time and Midnight Allegorical Character

A majestic high-fantasy character design concept depicting Father Time handing over the glowing key of the New Year to a luminous female character representing the Spirit of Midnight. Father Time is a wise, dignified elderly man with long silver hair and an ornate flowing beard, wearing voluminous dark velvet robes embroidered with silver celestial constellations and astrological symbols. In his hands, he holds an ancient brass hourglass filled with glittering golden sand drifting downward. Standing beside him is the Spirit of Midnight, a radiant young woman with skin that glows softly like starlight, wearing an ethereal dress woven from deep indigo silk and cascading fireworks light. She holds a glowing golden key shaped like a sunburst. They stand inside a cosmic clockwork tower with massive exposed gear mechanisms, glowing pendulum, and an enormous stained glass clock face behind them lit from outside by starry galaxy cosmos. Lighting is breathtakingly dramatic, featuring warm golden rays emitting from the hourglass and key, contrasting against deep cyan and violet magical atmospheric ambient light inside the clock tower.
