(Cyberpunk, futuristic, dystopian underworld, high detail, cinematic lighting, dark and moody atmosphere) A wiry and gaunt man with sunken, exhausted eyes that have a manic glint, framed by dark circles from years of working in dimly lit back-alley clinics. His pale skin looks sickly under the flickering neon light, and his thin face is lined with tension, his lips slightly parted as if muttering to himself. His hair is unkempt, streaked with oil and grime, further emphasizing his haggard, overworked look. He wears a dingy off-white lab coat, once pristine but now stained with grease, blood, and years of unwashed grime. The fabric is frayed at the edges, hanging loosely over his thin frame. His cybernetic enhancements are crude and patched-together, a collection of exposed wiring and rusted plating barely held together. His left shoulder has a mechanical plating rig, jagged and uneven, with loose bolts and sparking neon-blue wiring protruding in places. His chipped tooth shows when he speaks, adding to his rough, jittery appearance. The background is a dark, cluttered ripperdoc lab, filled with outdated cybernetic parts, flickering monitors, and half-functioning medical equipment. The air is thick with smoke from a nearby vent, and a dull, flickering green med-lab light casts eerie shadows across the scene. A neon-red light from the alley outside spills through a cracked window, contrasting with the cold surgical glow of malfunctioning overhead lamps. The atmosphere is gritty, chaotic, and oppressive, embodying the tension of a street-level surgeon who exists between life and death, law and crime.

((gritty, hyperrealistic painting:1.5)), ((Hulk and Superman locked in a brutal power struggle:1.5)), both hands clasped, fingers interlocked in a violent test of strength, muscles straining, tendons stretched to the limit. Superman, bruised, grounded, is down on one knee, his body twisting with resistance, arms trembling as he holds back the massive force bearing down on him. His blue suit is torn, his face bloodied, hair matted with sweat and soot, but his gaze is clear and defiant—no glowing eyes, only human resolve. The Hulk towers over him, full height—3 meters tall, 500 kilograms of brute muscle, drenched in sweat, skin streaked with grime and ash. His monstrous body looms with dominance, feet planted wide, both arms pressing down, veins bulging, face twisted in a roar of exertion. His skin cracks around his fists from the sheer pressure, saliva flying from his mouth as he snarls through clenched teeth. The ground beneath Superman’s knee is shattered, pressed inward by the weight. Shockwaves ripple through the dust, small stones hover in midair. The scene is dense with smoke, ash, and heat distortion, the ambient firelight casting flickering shadows over their bodies. Style: painted like an epic oil tableau—Caravaggio-like lighting, Repin’s anatomical drama, Beksiński’s apocalyptic ambiance. Every detail captured: grit on skin, blood at the lip, wrinkles in fabric, cracked stone, drifting embers, clenched fingers locked in struggle. Lighting: heavy chiaroscuro—low directional light from fires around them, long shadows falling across Superman’s face, rim lighting highlighting Hulk’s upper body, emphasizing the scale difference without diminishing the tension. Camera angle: low and close, from Superman’s left side, showing his knee pressed into shattered ground, arms lifted to hold off Hulk’s crushing weight. Hulk fills the vertical space, Superman dominates the emotional weight—a visual of pressure and refusal to yield. Art direction for Flux: – Hulk is 3m tall, 500kg, physically overwhelming, rendered with full weight and scale – Superman is human-scale, on one knee, but braced and locked in—the underdog with unbreakable resolve – Style: dark painterly realism, anatomical accuracy, no stylization, no superpowers shown – Textures: bruised flesh, torn cloth, cracked stone, sweat, grit, tension in the hands and faces – Environment: scorched battlefield, ambient smoke, sparks, fractured terrain, faint firelight – Theme: mythic struggle, physical scale vs inner will—no victor yet, only raw contest

Craft a dynamic and emotionally charged oil painting that uses the double exposure technique to capture the raw energy, unity, and struggles of The Warriors. The central figure should be one of the Warriors, such as Swan, his face half-translucent and fierce, embodying both the individual and collective spirit of the gang. His expression should be filled with determination and defiance, while his figure dissolves into the gritty, chaotic streets of 1970s New York City—dark alleys, graffiti-tagged walls, and the stark silhouettes of neon lights. His features should bleed into the urban landscape, as though he is both a part of the city and a symbol of rebellion against it. Inside his form, a web of interconnected images from the Warriors' journey should emerge: the haunting image of the baseball bat-wielding Rogues, the fire-lit glow of the moonlit escape across subway tunnels, and the strong camaraderie of the Warriors themselves, seen through their shared struggles and brotherhood. The double exposure should seamlessly integrate these elements into his figure, illustrating the tension between individual survival and the unbreakable bond of the gang as they face overwhelming odds together. The color palette should reflect the gritty urban feel of the film, with cool blues, grays, and blacks contrasted with the neon oranges, reds, and greens of the streetlights and graffiti. The atmosphere should feel electric, filled with an undercurrent of danger, defiance, and unspoken loyalty. The oil painting should evoke a sense of movement—like a snapshot of the Warriors running through the night, the harsh cityscape blurring into their form, and the struggle against the forces that threaten to tear them apart. This double exposure composition should not only explore the Warriors' journey through the hostile streets but also the emotional and psychological depth of their fight for survival and unity. The contrast between the rawness of their environment and the bond they share should be at the heart of this painting, encapsulating the spirit of The Warriors as a timeless symbol of resilience and brotherhood.
