(Primary Subject: Woman, Transparent Body, Internal Organs Visible, 1.6 weight), suspended mid-air within a tall, cylindrical glass chamber filled with luminous, teal-hued suspension fluid. Her skin is entirely absent, exposing intricate internal organs—heart pulsing vividly, lungs rhythmically inflating, and veins branching like delicate crimson lace (intricate anatomical accuracy, vivid colors, hyper-realistic details, 1.5 weight). Surrounding her is a complex science lab rendered in a fusion of Cassette Futurism and Atompunk styles. Vintage technology—analog dials, bulky CRT monitors flickering with green data streams, magnetic tapes spinning, tangled cables, and softly glowing vacuum tubes—is intricately arranged, suggesting advanced but archaic machinery (Cassette Futurism aesthetics, Atompunk elements, 1.4 weight). The lab lighting is dim, moody, casting dramatic, cinematic shadows that amplify the mystery of the scene. Warm, amber indicator lights contrast starkly with cool, teal-hued chamber illumination, creating dynamic interplay (dramatic cinematic lighting, volumetric illumination, strong chiaroscuro, 1.4 weight). Rendered photographically, utilizing the cinematic realism and fine grain of classic film stock captured through a Leica Summilux lens (cinematic lens effects, film grain texture, shallow depth of field, 1.3 weight). The composition evokes both scientific awe and haunting existential wonder, a blend of intrigue and unsettling beauty (narrative depth, symbolic complexity, emotional impact, 1.3 weight).

The metallic corridor, lined with sleek, silver panels and soft, blue-green accents, stretches into the distance, punctuated by glowing, holographic displays and pulsing, fiber-optic cables. The scene is reminiscent of Greg Rutkowski's concept art style, blending traditional matte painting techniques with Unreal Engine's hyper-realistic capabilities, in 8k resolution, utilizing a vibrant, triadic color scheme, with bold, contrasting hues, and meticulous, hyper-detailed textures, evoking the moody, atmospheric lighting of Syd Mead's Blade Runner concept art, and the rich, tactile textures of Ash Thorp's futuristic illustrations.

Epic dark fantasy oil painting capturing the raw, mythological power of Thor, the Norse god of thunder. The setting is a wild, snowy Scandinavian landscape engulfed in a fierce blizzard, with snow whipping across the scene in chaotic gusts. The stormy sky is thick with heavy clouds, nearly obscuring the distant mountains, and cast in deep, moody blues and grays. Thor is seen from a low angle, making him appear larger-than-life and truly god-like, towering over the viewer with an aura of unstoppable strength. His powerful, muscular frame is emphasized by his pose, legs planted firmly in the deep snow as he raises Mjölnir, his legendary battle hammer, high into the turbulent sky. He is fierce and resolute, his hair and fur-lined cloak whipping wildly in the freezing wind. A massive bolt of lightning crashes down from the storm clouds, connecting with Mjölnir and bathing Thor in a blazing, blue-white glow that pierces through the blizzard. The intense light highlights his rugged features and casts dramatic shadows across his face and armor, giving him a godly, otherworldly presence. The lightning arcs around him, crackling with raw energy as snow and ice are blasted into the air from the sheer force. Thor’s attire is inspired by traditional Norse mythology, with a thick fur cloak, leather armor reinforced with metal, and sturdy boots fit for a winter warrior. His gaze is fierce, and his entire posture exudes strength and defiance against the raging storm. The color palette is cold and intense, dominated by icy blues, sharp whites, and deep shadows. The lightning illuminates Thor in a spectral light, creating a sharp contrast against the darkness of the blizzard. Snow swirls violently in every direction, caught in the powerful light, adding dynamic movement and depth to the scene. Every detail is meticulously rendered: the rippling muscles, the coarse texture of Thor’s fur cloak, the chaotic streaks of lightning, and the fierce, swirling snow. The composition conveys the raw, untamed power of the Norse god, capturing the viewer’s attention with the overwhelming force of mythic heroism and natural fury.

(Primary Subject: Woman, 3D-Printed in Realistic Modern Printer, 1.7 weight) — inside a dim, cluttered bedroom illuminated by the soft, flickering glow of LED strip lights and the rhythmic hum of a modern consumer-grade 3D printer, a surreal scene unfolds. A half-assembled woman is being slowly 3D-printed, layer by layer, inside the printer’s transparent enclosure—her form emerging from glowing PLA-like filament in smooth, hyper-detailed strokes (hyper-realistic printing detail, smooth skin texture, 1.6 weight). Her upper body—torso, arms, and part of her face—is almost complete, formed from semi-translucent material that glows faintly in the ambient light. Thin wisps of support scaffolding cling to her like cyber-organic scaffolds. Her lower half remains unformed, an unfinished spiral of molten filament still being printed as the nozzle moves with quiet precision (realistic filament printing, printer detail, suspended form, 1.5 weight). Seated nearby, a man in casual clothes sits cross-legged on the floor, bathed in warm, ambient screen light. He holds a crumpled instruction manual in one hand—clearly pulled from the open cardboard box lying beside him on the floor, its packaging marked with surreal branding: “SYNTH-CRAFT V2 | HOMEBODY EDITION” (instructional design realism, subtle surreal packaging, 1.4 weight). Loose tools, empty filament spools, soda cans, and old PC parts are scattered around the room, grounding the scene in everyday reality. Behind him, the room glows with scattered LED lighting in hues of electric blue, soft magenta, and warm amber, reflecting off his glasses and casting moody highlights onto the surrounding walls. Dust particles drift in the air, caught in the glow of the printer’s chamber, creating an eerie yet beautiful halo around the forming woman (cinematic atmosphere, volumetric light, dusty haze, 1.4 weight). Rendered with cinematic realism: soft film grain, subtle lens blur, realistic plastic sheen, and dramatic shallow depth-of-field—captured as if shot with a Leica Summilux lens. The entire image is grounded in the plausible, but steeped in a surreal undertone that suggests something far stranger is unfolding (photographic detail, cinematic framing, narrative tension, 1.3 weight). This is not just a print job—it’s manufactured intimacy, wrapped in plastic and instruction sheets.

POV first-person, i am standing by the window, smoking a cigarette, captured from a first-person perspective. only my hands are visible in the frame. i hold the cigarette between my index and middle fingers, with a relaxed grip, the lit end glowing faintly in the dim evening light. my thumb rests near the filter as i occasionally bring it to my lips. a few wisps of smoke curl into the air, dissipating near the window. the view outside the window shows tehran at dusk, with a mix of modern high-rise buildings and older, traditional structures stretching into the distance. the city lights begin to flicker on, creating a warm contrast against the cool, bluish hues of the evening sky. the milad tower stands tall in the far distance, its silhouette partially softened by the hazy atmosphere. a few moving car headlights trace lines along the streets below, capturing the quiet yet restless energy of the city. inside, the scene is intimate and moody, illuminated by the faint light filtering through the window. the atmosphere feels unmistakably iranian, a mix of nostalgia and solitude, as i take a slow drag from my cigarette and watch the embers glow against the backdrop of the city.
