Overlay: Circuitboard Luminescence
An illustration AI art style prompt drawing on Cyberpunk and Digital Glow. Copy the prompt below into any text-to-image model, then add your own subject at the end. The prompt only describes the look.
On 4 models
The same prompt and the same subject, rendered by different image models — so the differences are the model, not the prompt.
The prompt
Original
Apply glowing circuit pattern overlay with illuminated pathways flowing across image surface. Create translucent electrical routes in cool blues and greens that branch and connect like technological veins, with occasional bright nodes at intersections. Maintain perfect subject visibility beneath this luminous network that adapts to image contours.

Effect only
The recipe removed — no artists, no wild card, no movements. Only what the style does to a surface.
Luminous translucent pathways flow across the entire image surface, coloured in cool blues and greens, branching and reconnecting with occasional bright nodes at intersections. They adapt their routes to the contours of the subject beneath. The overlay stays sheer enough that the underlying image remains perfectly visible, with light concentrated along the pathways and nodes.

Using it
- Paste the prompt, then add your subject after it — for example …, a lighthouse on a cliff at dusk.
- The effect-only version drops the recipe altogether and describes only what the style does to a surface. Use it to mix this look into another style, or when you want nothing traceable to a source.
- Every sample here was rendered against the same short subject — Quiet streets whisper / Her footsteps echo softly / Sunlight paints her path — so it shows the style, not a lucky subject.
