The Faces of Cyberpunk 2077

This series of illustrations was inspired by the videogame Cyberpunk 2077 set in the Cyberpunk-universe created by game designer Mike Pondsmith. Night city, the setting for this game, is heavily influenced by japanese culture and gives the player the option to explore freely and hack into anything he as access to. In this series I focused on the most memorable characters of the game illustrating them in a fitting style.

The choice of red was based on a filter frequently used in the game as well as it's interface and the aesthetic of 90s hacking simulations. Furthermore, I added the names of the characters written in Japanese Katakana you would find in Night City. From a distance these illustrations look detailed while on closer inspection they are only composed by rough pencil strokes, working with light and shadow.
