Description Sorry to everyone in the group that I COMPLETELY dropped the ball on the July challenge. The next time that kind of thing happens, please feel free to hit me up on my tumblr, since that's where I'll likely be. Since we've been having a lot of pastels in recent months, I thought I'd go with a bit more of an acid feeling scheme, but I have allowed white for those of you who want to blend and lighten up these colors.

Rules:
- Please submit your piece by 12 midnight GMT Tuesday September 30th
- Use all five colors shown on the template to create your piece. Pure White is also allowed in this challenge. See the optional color swatch.
--> Blending is allowed, but please directly pick the color if you are working digitally. For the traditional artists, get ready to match the colors as closely as you are able. This also means you must make sure that the canvas or paper you use either matches one of the colours in the palette, or failing that, ensure you fill in all available space so that no white is visible (unless of course white is allowed in that challenge.) We will no longer be accepting pieces where the background paper colour does not fall within the scheme!
- You may make multiple pieces and submit them to our gallery, but choose only one to enter the voting (please let us know which one you want us to use! If you do not specify, we will only enter your first submission into the voting.)
- Please submit to the featured section of the #Colour-Schemes gallery so everyone can see and so it's officially entered in the challenge! We will move the challenges to the appropriate folder ourselves. You can of course reply here with a link, too, because then we have happy confirmation.

Notice: Please say in your artist's comments that your piece is for the September Challenge.

The color on the far left is a charcoal gray, while the color on the far right is a deep deep abyssal blue, if that helps? I'm not sure what your question is.

Cyberpunk is a setting that is primarily based on a near future where technology has risen to a point where it is nearly indistinguishable from magic. So people with robotic limbs that can hack into other people's brains, as seen in Ghost in the Shell is cyberpunk. Final Fantasy 7 and 8's settings are pretty cyberpunk. So is Tron, however. It's not necessarily a bad thing, though a dystopia means that people are struggling to survive and what was supposed to be a great new society is not actually great for everyone. For a recent example, the movie Elysium was a dystopia with cyberpunk elements.

The genre really came into its own in the 1980s, so if you're looking for design tips you could try harkening back to the popular fashions of the 1980s.

For more examples of cyberpunk as envisioned by dA artists:

Cyberpunk - Note the gritty atmosphere and the futuristic vehicles.
Cyberpunk with Filipe - the neon colors popping out against the dark background are definitely a thing with cyberpunk work, and you can see in the mohawks and the jackets (and skinny jeans) that the American punk styles of the 1980s influence the design
--Deviline-- - and here's more character design, showing a cleaner modern look, but also showing the general tough "don't care about the man" background inherent in cyberpunk

I love the bright colors in this, going to be a real change from the pastels of June and August. I'm probably going to do more of a "cyberpunk" theme rather than a "dystopia" though....

Totally fine! These themes are just a jumping off point, and nothing more :3
