Occasionally there are nice sunny days in Seattle. So here is a pleasant day for a citizen that isn’t being hunted or anything else tense. No glowing eyes this time, I didn’t think it fit. Though I tried to add them multiple times and just liked her eyes as is.

I just noticed I missed background painting between her arm and body in the center of the screen… Damn.

    Every time you post, it’s like you’ve been practicing for an entire year since the last post. Fantastic piece!

      Awe, thank you! I have been painting more than normal lately once I learned I can do cyberpunk justice.

      Plus tonight is my first live model painting in 9 months which has me super excited.

      And this one turned out particularly well. I can’t stop staring at the metal bits.

    I love this. I love that she’s out in the forest. I love her enigmatic expression. There are no dark nights, no neon lights, yet she is cyberpunk to the bone. Well done!

        Noooo it was a compliment. The style is good but what i mean are the contents. Her clothing style, the half-human half-tech theme, the earphone thingy she has, the city backdrop, they are all themes that id say were popular during the 2010s but are having resurgence nowadays. Also some of your other art also give older vibes without being dated. With the cyborg woman on a skyscaper you were probably inspired by cyberpunk(the game) but it reminds me of ghost in the shell. Thats also an older piece of media, doesnt mean that its dated to get inspired by it, quite the contrary, i really like it.

          Ah got it. And I didn’t take it as a dig. Just seemed like maybe the models clothes are from a style that’s no longer in.

      Thank you, I like that too! I think the contrast between humanity and machinery is beautiful and disturbing. And that makes me wonder and think. And I like that.

    excellent rendering. OCCASIONALLY? Holy shit bro we’ve had summer on easy mode this year, especially considering the smoldering hellscape the rest of the world is cookin with.

    I love it here so much. Know the june-uary won’t last forever but god I love sleeping with the window open

      I had no idea. I used to travel there for business and had two sunny days out of years of travel. And those days were gorgeous. Clearly I’m outdated in my understanding of the area.

      I hope the rest of the year is kind weather wise. It’s a bitch here. Half the state is on fire.
