Malware has been living rent free in my brain as my alter ego since the early nineties. They started based on a male friend with a female name (Mallory) but almost instantly turned into a character I deeply cared about. They have been my main cyberpunk character in many games including Cyberpunk 2020, Cyberpunk Red, Carbon 2185, CY_BORG themed Ironsworn, and other homebrews.

I am not trans but I care deeply about Malware (who's gone through some shit in order to help me process significant trauma). I hope this was ok to post here.

I can share the text prompt (which is fairly simple) but there are four leading images that also compromise the prompt. One is a crop of my original art, one is a still from an anime I found on duck duck go, one is a photo of myself, and lastly still from Arcane. The Arcane still seems to add the beautiful shadowing and ensures that the results are non-binary since I am combining a photo of myself with a female character from the show. Without it I get similar results but far more anime looking.

EDIT: My style of Midjourney prompts are always image source heavy as it lets me steer the results significantly rather than leave it up to the AI's interpretation of my text prompt. The text portion of this prompt is something short like "cyberpunk rocker boy with cybernetic implants holding a gun". As you can see, the image leads overwrote most of the text prompt.
