# Afrofuturism × Cyberpunk — composed image prompt
# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=afrofuturism+cyberpunk
# Afrofuturism carries the structure. Cyberpunk appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Afrofuturism (Aesthetic, 20th century–) and its accent from Cyberpunk (Style, 1980s–). Structural cues: Cosmic futures; Cultural pattern; Metal and earth; Myth reinterpreted. Accent cues, used sparingly: Rainy nights; Multilingual neon; Dense cabling; Dark cities. Composition: Lead with the symbol; layer strata of time. Type and lettering: Pair geometric letterforms with culturally grounded faces, carefully. Let one material quality come from the second style: Black, teal, red neon, raindrops. Mood: Futurism, Luxury, Rebellion, Exhilaration. Color: build on #17110e, #d29a2e, #5b42a2 with a single accent drawn from #091b21, #05b7b2, #f04445. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - Both belong to Visions of the Future, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.
# - Roughly 1960 years apart. Keep one of them recognisably period rather than letting both drift into the middle.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Afrofuturism: Never borrow patterns as anonymous 'African style.' Learn the specific makers, regions and histories.
# - Cyberpunk: Don't use Asian cities as a symbol of otherness. Make the fictional social order concrete.
