How to use this prompt
This portrait sells on rim light: "cyan and violet rim lighting shaping the face" carves the features out of the dark and is what makes it cinematic rather than a flat headshot — lose it and the face muddies into the background. Push the holographic UI into "background bokeh" so the implants stay the hero; in-focus screens fight the face for attention. Keep the implants to a few glowing lines along the temple and jaw, because if you just say "cybernetic" SDXL buries the whole face in circuitry and it stops reading as human. Shallow depth of field plus one clear expression keeps it a character, not a tech demo.
Variations to try
- Red-alert version — switch the rim light to hot red and amber for a hostile, high-danger mood
- Female netrunner — shaved-side undercut, chrome cheek plating, and a single glowing eye implant
