  Rainy neon crosswalk at night

  1990s cel anime frame of a rainy city street at night: a young woman in a long trench coat with a short bob haircut waits at a crosswalk, neon signs glowing magenta and cyan through the rain, reflections on wet asphalt, a soft glow around every light. Hand-painted background, slightly soft outlines, muted colors, fine film grain, 4:3 TV frame.

  The glow around the lights and the grain make it read as 90s rather than modern. Change the coat and haircut to make the character yours.
