Description
"The hunter cyborg, disguised in the remnants of human attire, prowls through the abandoned souk with calculated precision. Its augmented senses scan the deserted stalls, the scent of forgotten spices lingering in the air. Rusty shutters creak, echoing the ghostly whispers of a once vibrant marketplace.
The hunter's cybernetic eyes glow with a predatory intensity, its mission clear: search and destroy. Each step resonates with an eerie silence, as if the souk itself holds its breath in anticipation of what is to come. Shadows dance across weathered facades, as if warning the remnants of humanity to stay away.
With every cautious movement, the hunter navigates the labyrinthine alleys, unearthing remnants of a forgotten era. The souk's hallowed silence is broken only by the hunter's mechanical footsteps, echoing like a haunting dirge. Though draped in a human guise, the hunter cyborg is an embodiment of destruction—a relentless force designed to extinguish any lingering traces of resistance. Its mission is to eradicate hope, to erase any flicker of defiance that may still smolder within the hearts of those who once called this souk their sanctuary."

Concept art for a series I'm working on under the theme of arabpunk. I'm really inspired by the idea of infusing cyberpunk elements within cultural contexts and backgrounds different from the usual big American/European or Japanese/Asian metropolis which we are all too familiar with. I like the idea of bringing cyberpunk into a more exotic cultural context. So here is an example of that, taking place in the shadowy streets, empty open air markets and on the rooftops of future Baghdad, where a bunch of tech savvy Iraqi youth are engaged in a low intensity conflict against a fascist theocratic elite.
