Starry Night Overtime City

A surreal Van Gogh-inspired nighttime metropolis prompt for depicting late-night office work and corporate exhaustion.

Prompt
Create a vertical 2:3 highly detailed night cityscape that feels like a modern homage to Van Gogh’s The Starry Night, focused on overtime work in a sleepless corporate city. Show a dense metropolis from a high rooftop viewpoint, with deep navy and cobalt blue buildings outlined in dark ink and hundreds of warm yellow office windows. The sky dominates the upper half with thick swirling impasto-style brush strokes, three visible glowing celestial bodies: one large moon in the upper right and two smaller stars or planets in the upper left, plus many short yellow dash-like stars embedded in spiral currents. In the city, depict exactly four major surreal light motifs: a giant glowing eye shape spanning the facade of a rounded glass office tower on the right, a winding golden ribbon of light snaking through multiple skyscraper windows in the center, a smaller S-shaped glowing ribbon on a mid-distance tower, and another illuminated ribbon continuing through buildings on the far left. Fill many office floors with tiny black silhouettes of workers sitting at desks, emphasizing late-night overtime. Include a very tall dark skyscraper silhouette on the left foreground, layered mid-rise buildings, elevated rail or road lines, empty intersections below, rooftop machinery in the lower right, and a digital clock display on a rooftop reading 23:58. Use dramatic contrast between electric blue shadows and golden light, intricate architectural linework, painterly swirling sky texture, melancholic surreal mood, no visible logo, no border, no extra text besides the clock.
