The Pilot

Prompt:  3s Create a hyper-realistic portrait of an elderly male figure with a futuristic steampunk aesthetic. The character has long silver-white hair and a full matching mustache and beard. His skin is fair with some wrinkles indicative of age, and he possesses a wise and serene expression. He is wearing a large dark blue peaked cap with brass goggles resting on top, adorned with intricate detailing and glowing elements. The goggles feature reflective blue-tinted lenses that catch the light of a swirling nebula, its stars and cosmic dust visible in the reflection. Below the goggles, he sports an elegantly styled mustache that adds to his dignified look. His neck and shoulders are wrapped in a flowing iridescent white scarf with a texture similar to thick velvet, which catches the light of the nebula as well. In the background, a dramatic cosmic landscape unfolds. The sky is alive with a mesmerizing aurora of bright blues and swirling golden lights, reminiscent of an otherworldly aurora borealis against a backdrop of distant craggy mountain peaks beneath a majestic expanse of a multi-colored nebula. The composition balances the stoic character in the foreground with the dynamic spectacle of the cosmic phenomena in the background, creating a scene that exudes mystery and the grandeur of science fiction adventure.
