Very nice! It's got that used future look - the future hit, but people have to live in it, so it ain't pretty.
Might as well say somewhere reading Neuromancer is like a movie you find infinitely rewatchable, no matter how many times I read it, it never gets old.

Those Hotel things are actually real. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsule_…

I'm curious about how sleeping in one of those things is like, but also sure it's uncomfortable as hell, haha.

One thing I've always loved about your Neuromancer artwork is how flawlessly you capture that '80s Retro Future feel that so defined Gibson's work.

Thanks, I really appreciate that! That's definitely what I've been goin' for. My fear with a Neuromancer film is that they make it too slick and 'modern'. There's a reason why low-fi technology would exist even in an alternate future. It's utilitarian and cheap and therefore practical. But, I also find that it just looks cooler, I've always had a fondness for older-looking computers and whatnot.

If it ever becomes a movie they should keep the tech deliberately retro with CRT Monitors, and very limited wireless tech, with references that only the really well off folks and company's use that kind of thing.
Hell if I eve made one I'd use an old camera from the 90s not a digital one. With film reel and everything to help give it that authentic look.

The coffin is a lot like how I pictured it: like one of those capsule hotels in Japan. Also, your Freeside looks like a bit of a cross between a Bernal sphere and an O'Neill cylinder. Nice work! Are you going to be selling your Neuromancer art book?

Definitely!
I believe I looked at a Bernal Spheres more, I heard someone say that Freeside would likely resemble something along those lines. Thanks!
I have to find a cost effective way (for both me and those that are interested) to make a book. There's also the whole thing with copyrights, I don't know that if I were to pursue getting professionally made copies if there'd be any problems. I may look into selling prints somewhere though!
