Style prompt
The image has a retro science-fiction illustration finish that contrasts a broad flat warm field with highly layered mechanical detail. Mustard and gold form the dominant color relationship, while off-white plates, charcoal joints, and small rust-red marks give the central structure weight. A large reflective oval creates the brightest smooth area, surrounded by scratched metal, ribbed parts, and thin radiating lines. The radial rhythm adds energy without filling the open background. Edges remain crisp around hard components, but surface wear and fabric-like folds soften the finish. Upper side light produces a strong luminous band and deep lower recesses. The overall effect is iconic, tactile, and slightly aged, with intricate construction held against clear negative space.Full example prompt
A square retro science-fiction illustration presents a helmeted astronaut from the chest upward against a flat mustard-yellow background. The figure faces the image left in three-quarter profile, with a large rounded gold visor replacing all visible facial features. The visor reflects a bright horizontal glow across its upper half and a darker scratched lower region, suggesting a metallic glass surface. Around it, a pale gray helmet is built from layered plates, small bolts, circular fittings, and dark mechanical housings. A large round component projects from the side near the ear, while narrow tubes and struts run along the jaw and down the neck. Behind the head, a ring and many thin metal spikes radiate outward in all directions, creating a sharp halo against the simple yellow field. The white suit fills the lower frame, its fabric creased and slightly soiled, with thick gray shoulder straps, metal clasps, and a circular patch on the upper arm. The neck opening is dark and crowded with cables and mechanical detail. Small rusty marks and scratches break the otherwise clean helmet, making the technology look used rather than new. A compact red rectangular mark appears on the chest but contains no readable letters. The graphic background has little depth, so the halo and layered machinery supply most of the spatial complexity. Strong light from the upper left makes the visor glow, catches the helmet rim and radiating spikes, and leaves the underside of the head and straps in deep gray shadow. The overall composition is iconic and energetic, setting intricate worn machinery against one broad warm color plane.
