Cyberpunk & Sci-Fi — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"A candid front-facing phone selfie of a 20s woman with shoulder-length black hair and subtle neon eyeliner, wearing an oversized hoodie, cargo pants, and chunky sneakers, looking near the camera mid-sip of iced coffee at a tiny street-side noodle café. Behind her: rain-slick neon pavement, pink-blue holographic menu signs, passing scooters with LED underglow, and a futuristic vending bot in soft focus; natural rainy ambient light mixed with glowing signage reflections. Feels like an Instagram story “late-night snack run” clip, slightly messy and unposed, handheld framing."
