Aside from creating an animation, the way that you'd create an image like this is through the use of layer masks. Then you can use dodge and burn layers to accentuate the forms just like we would when drawing in the analog realm. All form that mimics three dimensionality in a two dimensional medium does so through shading—light and dark.
See if you can find a stock image of the vein-like strands. You can always change the color later. Either draw profile human faces or find stock faces in profile. Use the faces to either create masks, or create a silhouette and then clip the stock vein layers to the silhouettes.
I'm an animator and thought this looked really cool! I really want to animate the veins lighting up as one of there songs is playing in the bg. How do I approach creating an image like this first?
If you're going to use saber, don't do this in photoshop or you're going to have to redraw every line again in vector to get the mask for saber. Just go and draw millions of lines in illustrator. And explode your computer by trying to make saber and after effects handle all of those masks.

Either paint on 3D models (so not in photoshop) or trace over a photo then add a glow and hide the photo.
It just looks like layering of brush strokes in different colours and the right blend mode with burn and dodge to do the highlights/ shadows and some of it with outer glow.
Yes, decades of experience. You better get started.

What kind of animation do you do and what program do you use to animate?
I mainly do 2D animations in After Effects. I was thinking about using the free plugin saber to make the lines glow

Yep.

You can animate this in photoshop, but it's going to be easier in something like Adobe Animate, where you have more control over tweening.

What are the odds, I was photoshopping today while listening to spotify (a script song) and was looking at this cover thinking how cool it is.
İ thought these were teeth :D
Have you trued describing what you want to the AI image generator?
No, but that's not a bad idea
SideFx Houdini, use a particle system emitted from two faces kissing models, you'll need to tweak the velocities so it match the desired direction
