Prompt template

{subject}, in the style of Apogee — the subject is reconstructed as a luminous ice-blue scan-traced wireframe and contour mesh, as if read live by a starship tactical sensor, floating on a deep navy carbon-fibre field. A calibrated mission-control overlay is laid over it: chamfered notched instrument framing with bright top-left and bottom-right luminous corner seams, a thin targeting reticle crosshair on a key feature, amber and signal-red dimension callouts, tick arrows and beacon dots, segmented scanlines sweeping across the form, and a faint receding radar grid with orbital arc trajectory lines behind. Tiny uppercase monospace telemetry labels float beside the linework. {palette}. Glow stays controlled and thin, never a full neon flood; the mood is operational, precise and cinematic — a believable diegetic heads-up readout, not chaotic cyberpunk. Fills the entire frame edge to edge, no physical monitor bezel, no border, no empty margins.

Slot recipes

hero — A single bold subject rendered in the Apogee style — reconstructed as a luminous ice-blue scan-traced wireframe on a deep navy carbon field, wrapped in chamfered instrument framing with bright corner seams, a targeting reticle crosshair, sparse amber and signal-red callouts, sweeping scanlines, and a faint radar grid with orbital arcs behind. Subject fills the entire bleed, no margins, no monitor bezel.

feature — A mid-complexity object or scene in the Apogee style, three-quarter or tactical-map view, its form scan-traced in ice-blue contour lines, annotated with a couple of amber dimension callouts and one signal-red marker, chamfered corner seams and a faint coordinate grid behind, flat front-on graphic edge to edge.

avatar — A head-and-shoulders subject in the Apogee style, square crop, the face reconstructed as an ice-blue topographic scan mesh with one amber reticle crosshair on an eye and a single small mono telemetry label, on a deep navy carbon void, tightly framed, no background scene, no bezel.

empty-state — A sparse single subject in the Apogee style — a quiet ice-blue scan-trace outline with only a faint radar grid, one corner seam and a lone mono coordinate label on the deep navy field, calm and minimal, still filling the frame without large blank areas, no bezel.

illustration — A detailed subject as a layered Apogee tactical readout — dense ice-blue scan contours, sweeping scanlines, orbital arc trajectories, several amber dimension callouts and signal-red beacon dots, chamfered notched framing and mono telemetry strips, reading like a believable mission-control display, full-frame edge to edge, no monitor bezel.

· Reconstruct the subject as a luminous ice-blue scan-traced wireframe or contour mesh, as if read by a live sensor, keeping its real volume legible.
· Set everything on a deep navy carbon-fibre void so the linework reads as a projected instrument display.
· Wrap the subject in chamfered, notched instrument framing with bright top-left and bottom-right luminous corner seams.
· Use amber and signal-red only as sparse callouts, tick arrows, beacon dots and one targeting reticle — color as semantic alert, never as fill.
· Layer sweeping scanlines, a faint radar grid and orbital arc trajectories behind, with tiny uppercase monospace telemetry labels beside the linework.
· Fill the whole frame edge to edge with the readout graphic itself.

Don't

· Do not render a photo of a physical monitor, console, bezel, desk or room — the graphic IS the frame.
· Do not flood the field with neon or let glow bloom over and blur the linework.
· Do not use a light, pale, or grey background, or a flat blueprint-white field.
· Do not turn it into chaotic cyberpunk clutter, glitch noise, or lens flare.
· Do not render readable paragraphs of text, a title block, captions, or watermarks.
· Do not leave empty margins, blank quadrants, or marketing whitespace.
