It's my turn to set the Community Challenge for this week...
Theme
Dive into the gritty neon-lit streets of cyberpunk with our latest theme: 'High Tech, Low Life.'
In this artistic exploration, I challenge you to capture the essence of a cyberpunk world where advanced technology and societal decay intertwine.
Picture towering skyscrapers and neon signs, juxtaposed with the raw struggles of life on the streets. Your art should tell stories of resilience and survival in an urban dystopia, where the futuristic and the forlorn are inseparably intertwined.

Created on Artbreeder SDXL Collager and then enlarged by whatever algorithm the site uses. To create it, I fed a previous Michael Jackson render back in, added some neon green bits, and changed the prompt to what's below. This image came out on my second try.
