((masterpiece)), ((best quality)), 8k, ultra-detailed, cinematic full-body photograph of a (beautiful:1.2) (female:1.2) cyborg, suspended gracefully in a retrofuturistic science lab. Her entire form is visible, with her human-like skin peeled back from the chest down, revealing intricate metallic structures, circuitry, and mechanical components beneath. Her damaged breasts and serene, beautiful face remain intact, contrasting with her exposed robotic body, adding a tasteful, subtle eroticism. She is held up by thick, glowing suspension tethers attached to her back and upper body, radiating a soft, pulsating blue light. These tethers are thicker and emit a consistent glow, indicating their purpose for suspension and data transfer, casting a gentle light on her form. Her legs are missing, with smaller wires and cables hanging from where her knees would be, adding a sense of mechanical incompleteness. ((masterpiece)), ((best quality)), 8k, ultra-detailed, cinematic full-body view of a (beautiful:1.2) (female:1.2) cyborg, suspended inside an octagonal, water-filled tank. The tank is illuminated from behind and below, casting an ethereal glow that highlights her entire form and fills the water with a soft, bluish light. The cyborg’s human-like skin is torn away from her chest down to her legs, revealing intricate metal structures, wiring, and detailed mechanical components beneath. Her damaged breasts and serene, beautiful face remain intact, adding a subtle, tasteful eroticism as she floats in a calm, lifelike state within the tank. The glowing water creates a sense of weightlessness, with bubbles and particles floating around her, enhancing the immersive and surreal atmosphere. Thick, glowing tether cables are attached to her back and upper body, radiating a soft, pulsating blue light, indicating they are actively exchanging data. Her legs are missing, and from where her knees would be, thin wires and cables drift with the water, giving a sense of mechanical incompletion and vulnerability. The tank is surrounded by various futuristic lab equipment, spare robotic parts, and retro-futuristic control panels, each casting a faint, ambient glow that complements the tank’s illumination. Small indicator lights blink sporadically around the tank and lab, adding depth and a subtle sci-fi ambiance. Soft, volumetric lighting fills the room, with (godrays:1.3) streaming through the water and highlighting floating particles in the tank, casting complex shadows and enhancing the tank’s three-dimensional effect. The cool blue lighting from the tank contrasts with the warm, retrofuturistic lights of the lab, blending the futuristic with a nostalgic tone. The cyborg’s internal circuits pulse faintly, blending with the tank’s light as though the system is alive but dormant. This scene captures the delicate balance between human beauty and mechanical form in a hauntingly beautiful, cinematic atmosphere, where retrofuturistic aesthetics meet a sensual, ethereal futurism. The lab is softly illuminated by a clean, cool haze, creating a volumetric glow with a hint of blue that gives a sterile, futuristic atmosphere, without any harsh green undertones. Small lights are scattered throughout the scene, with a few on her exposed circuits and others on nearby equipment, adding subtle points of interest and emphasizing the retrofuturistic ambiance. The laboratory itself is filled with sleek, retro-futuristic technology—control panels, switches, and scattered spare robotic parts, each faintly illuminated by warm indicator lights. Rays of light filter through a high window, casting (godrays:1.3) that softly illuminate the floating particles in the air, enhancing the scene’s depth and otherworldly feel.
