Hi there @ManlioRF,

Hope you’re doing well! :slight_smile:

One of my favorite aspects of Cyberpunk is the “grungy-ness” of the world. The abundance of trash laid throughout streets, the hazy fog-like air that seems to mist around the scene, and (of course!) the plethora of glowing neon lights. Seeing your take on the Cyberpunk style is quite fascinating. Because while the world is quite grungy, there also seems to be this overwhelming feeling of being watched through the many cameras. Which bring a bit of realism and a bit more of that doom feeling that these sort of environments leave you with. Brilliantly done! You definitely know how to tell a story with your creations. :slight_smile: Hope to see more of your work!

Was this project created for a game/short or as a standalone environment?

Thanks for your words!

Well, I think that artists often forget about that aspect of cyberpunk. In these scenarios, the ones to blame for the world being in this state (large corporations and/or governments) are the ones that control and monitor people to keep them under their power and exploit them.

And of course you have trash, pollution, and the bright signs/neon lights to distract people from their ugly surroundings and keep them in a cycle of consumerism.

This project is not finished yet, I have created it to add to my art portfolio in hopes of one day getting a job as a environment artist, but I’m still pretty green and learning so who knows. I don’t know what to do with the project when I finish it, maybe in the future I’ll upload it to the marketplace if I think it has enough quality.
