Cyberpunk Macro Portrait with Glowing Eyes
A hyper-realistic cinematic close-up of a cyberpunk woman with glowing white eyes, wet skin, and a neural head apparatus, created with low-key lighting and macro composition.
Prompt Body
Hyper-realistic cinematic cyberpunk close-up, low-angle, a young woman's face filling the frame. Her eyes are solid glowing white — no iris, no pupil, faintly emitting light. Lips slightly parted and glossy pale pink, teeth barely visible, expression suspended in the instant of activation. Skin is intensely detailed: visible pores, fine facial hair, a thin film of moisture with tiny condensation beads, sharp specular highlights on the nose, cheekbone and lower lip. Strapped to her skull is a complex apparatus — thin black wires and worn metallic nodes pressed against temples and forehead, small blue LEDs glowing on each node. A thick white textured surgical neck brace, slightly dirty, holds her head still. The metal nodes are matte and scratched, the wires are taut. Lighting: a single hard cold light source low and to the left grazes the jaw and cheekbone; the far side of the face drops into deep near-black shadow. The blue LEDs cast tiny point reflections that physically appear in her white eyes and on the wet skin — every reflection consistent with these light sources. Strong low-key contrast. Background: dark, blurred, suggestions of cold machinery, no detail. Camera: macro-close, f/2.0, focus on the lips and nose tip, eyes in slight soft focus, faint chromatic aberration at high-contrast edges, subtle glow bloom around the LEDs, photographic grain. NEGATIVE: glossy plastic metal, even flat lighting, clean studio look, smooth airbrushed skin, cartoon, doll-like, extra teeth, distorted anatomy, watermark, text, resemblance to any real person.

Guide & Practical Tips
How to use this prompt
This prompt is designed for image-to-image generation with Nano Banana. Start with a reference image of a face (preferably a close-up portrait with clear skin texture). Upload it as your base image and apply this prompt to transform it into a cyberpunk macro portrait.
When using Nano Banana Pro, structure your input clearly: define the subject (the reference face), the desired changes (add glowing eyes, neural apparatus, wet skin), and the lighting. For instance:
- Subject: Preserve the facial structure, skin texture, and head shape from the reference image.
- Modifications: Replace the eyes with solid white glowing orbs (no iris/pupil). Add a black wire-and-metallic-node apparatus strapped to the skull, with small blue LEDs. Add a white textured surgical neck brace. Enhance skin moisture with tiny condensation beads and sharp specular highlights.
- Lighting: Single hard cold light source from lower left, creating deep shadows on the right side. Maintain low-key contrast.
- Camera: Macro close-up at f/2.0, focus on lips and nose tip, eyes slightly soft, with chromatic aberration and bloom around LEDs.
- Negative elements: Avoid glossy plastic metal, even lighting, clean studio look, smooth skin, cartoonishness, extra teeth, distorted anatomy, watermark, text, resemblance to any real person.
Keep the background dark and blurred with cold machinery suggestions. The output should be 1:1 or 4:5 aspect ratio for maximum portrait impact.
Best use cases
- Character concept art for a cyberpunk story or game.
- Sci-fi album cover or music visualizer thumbnail.
- Editorial fashion with a dystopian cyberpunk theme.
- Social media profile picture for a tech or cyberpunk brand.
- Concept poster for a futuristic event.
What to adjust
- Eye color: Change white to pale blue, cyan, or amber for different moods.
- Apparatus design: Add more wires, different node shapes, or glowing patterns.
- Skin texture: Reduce moisture for a drier, more industrial look.
- Lighting angle: Move the light source for different shadow patterns.
- Color palette: Tint background to cold green or warm orange to shift atmosphere.
- Aspect ratio: Use 9:16 for vertical phone wallpapers or 16:9 for cinematic stills.
Common mistakes
- Over-sharpening eyes: Keep the eyes slightly soft to maintain realism.
- Flat lighting: Ensure strong shadow-to-light contrast to preserve the low-key mood.
- Smooth skin: Avoid airbrushing; maintain pores and fine facial hair.
- Unrealistic reflections: Make sure LED reflections in eyes and wet skin are consistent with the light source.
Variations
- Mourning machine: Swap glowing eyes for teary, bloodshot eyes with the same apparatus.
- Golden cyberpunk: Replace blue LEDs with warm gold and use amber highlights.
- Minimalist: Remove the neck brace and reduce wires, keeping only temple nodes.
- Full body cybernetic: Expand to medium shot showing the torso with similar style.
- Neon noir: Add a purple/pink neon rim light from the opposite side.
- Beast within: Add subtle glowing veins under the skin for a bio-engineered look.
