Description
"In the cave-eat hubs of Northeast Meta, he was known simply as the Operator – the name was lost amongst ones and zeroes, and fake retina scans. Rumors passed to eager ears, that the Operator returned not long ago from the Archipelago Wars in the Pacific – his injured body amnesiac to the damp cold winds of BosWash. His frame, draped in a thick, oily trenchcoat, would linger around prosthetic shops and at the back-ends of clubs, as the Operator searched for work.

Wrong place, wrong time – his services were too expensive, and in runt-town suburban sprawls, despite the heavy regulations, bullets were a cheaper alternative to the complex schemes he offered. The Operator sought to climb the corporate ladder, they said, but instead he slumped down at noodle chow joints with a sour frown on his implant-pockmarked face.

Time and change erroded his expectations and customs, but the winds in Newark where just as harsh in Novemeber as they were five years ago" - and some music for the mood www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJyiux…

This is the milestone of the next year for me. I finally decided to leave the cosy familiarity of Painter, of working with the ever-present oil pastels and rendering everything with small round brushes and shit - and venture into the lures of Photoshop, matte, and textures.

Indeed, this picture is the quintessence of what I've recently learned of the medium, of my artistic vision in cyberpunk and my technical skill at the present moment. Robust, colorful, contemporaty and aggressive.

With the character stemming from the previous work in the same theme - - I've been inspired by the visual style and concept art to Deus Ex revolution, and worked on achieving a similar level of detail attention and blend of original aesthetics. This work required quite a lot of preliminary design work and sketching that I will show later.

Cyberpunk is in my blood, and I'm slowly returning to it, with a new skillset, and this marks the beginning of a serious new IP, series of illustrative and written works. This a reper for a new future, a renovation and renaissance.

Your comments and faves are as always highly welcome to guide me on this journey.
