a sprawling retro-futuristic cityscape erupts with massive piston-driven skyscrapers prompts

2 months ago

A 1970s sci-fi book cover illustration in the style of Syd Mead meets Chris Foss. A striking European woman with platinum white hair poses heroically in a dieselpunk flight suit (brown leather corset, brass gauntlets, steampunk goggles pushed up on her forehead). Behind her, a sprawling retro-futuristic cityscape erupts with massive piston-driven skyscrapers, Art Deco neon towers, and floating dockyards spewing smoke into a candy-colored sky (muted teals, burnt oranges, and mauves). Key 70s cover elements: Airbrushed gradients with visible brush texture Dramatic lens flare across chrome surfaces Vintage sci-fi tropes: Oversized mechanical arms loading cargo onto a crescent-shaped starship A colossal sun with starburst rays piercing through smog Stylized hazard stripes on industrial structures Syd Mead precision in every gear and girder Style: "The romanticism of Peter Elson meets the technical rigor of Mead, with bold 70s typography overlay (imagine a title like 'Queen of the Diesel Cosmos' in vintage font)." Technical: --ar 4:5 --stylize 900 --v 6.1 --chaos 30 --style raw
