The last four of the Dickson Street Gang:
- Dominic Ramsgate,
- Troy Joyce,
- Kitty Mason, and
- Lance Hawthorn
3/3
Dominic Ramsgate is a young man who looks like he could be from a boy band or 00s Emo band. He has a wry grin, light blue eyes, pale skin, dark brown wavy hair hanging down the right side of his face, a nose piercing, and an ear pendant that looks almost knife-like. Troy is a young man with a 5-o'clock shadow, a few small facial scars, a nose ring, and eyebrow ring, dyed magenta hair cut long on top and shaved on the sides. He seems to be flirting with the camera. His shirt, probably hanging open, if more could be seen, is red with some kind of pattern in gold. Kitty has an X-ray themed crop top, heavy chain with a padlock, red-and-black striped arm bands with elbow pads, an obvious communication device on her shoulder, circular earpieces covering her ears, and her hair has been braided like corn-rows on the top of her head but ends in a loose pony tail. The hair has been dyed to blend between an orange-red and a golden yellow at the tips. She has some face scars and piercings. Her hand seems to be interacting with her earpiece. There are little pendants in some of the braids in her hair. Lance has platinum blonde hair in a faux-mohawk, light skin, and blue eyes. He's sitting on something, possibly a vehicle, with his hands between his thighs. He's wearing a long-sleeve wine-red button up shirt, and dark green-blue pants. Behind him is a red wall partially lit and a nearby light highlighting some kind of sign.

The next four of the Dickson Street Gang:
- Michael Blackman,
- Dani Goldflower,
- Alfie Davids, and
- Wren Vauxhall
2/3
Michael has small circular glasses, and a shaved head. His head is very square shaped and his jaw shallow. He is wearing a light tan wool overcoat, over a plain white button-up shirt with a stove-pipe collar. He is sitting in amongst computer servers and wooden crates. Dani has dyed red hair, electronic looking eyes, electronic enhanced gloves, a black singlet top, a corset-belt with three buckles, and green fatigue-like pants. She is holding her hands up as if to show off the back of the gloves to someone, or prove her hands are empty. She is standing next to some kind of roller door. Alfie has his hair cut to his earlobe, a number of LED lights and straight scar-lines across his face near the lights giving the impression of significant cybernetic enhancement to his face. His forearms are tattooed heavily, and he is slouching in a chair on a balcony at night while holding a bottled drink. Wren has long dark hair behind her shoulders, black skin, a bright purple puffer jacket over a red bodysuit with a circular hole cut at her cleavage, and is licking her top lip for an unknown reason. She is sitting down on something you can't see surrounded by poor buildings criss-crossed with cables, and pipes. Obvious airconditioning units hang from the walls, a doorway is protected by thick security bars.

- Solomon Parkinson, and
- Naomi Wu (Yes referencing that Naomi)
1/3
Klaus is a redheaded man with toussled jaw-length hair and a full beard. He's wearing a red suede vest over a black shirt with white dots. He is leaning against numbered lockers of cabinets with blue doors. Megan has pale skin, jaw-length hair at the front, and shoulder length hair at the beck. She is wearing a cropped tshirt, denim jeans, small circular sunglasses, and some kind of sword on her hip. She's standing in front of a bar serving alcohol or maybe take-away food. Solomon is a young black man with locs on the top of his head and shaved sides. He wears a sandy yellow waistcoat with nothing underneath, and a hint of gold yellow pants. His armchair is in front of a window showing a raining city landscape at night. This Naomi Wu is clearly modelled on Naomi Wu of ShenZhen, the tech expert. She is wearing a heavy face mask, like a gas mask, and skimpy bandeau and skirt. She has other tech strapped to her arm and across the top of her chest. Her hair is a very short undercut with the hair pulled back in a ponytail. Mixed in with her hair are a number of cyan LED strips. She's holding an edge-lit clear plastic parasol while standing on a subway train. Her equipment is all in pink-and-black except the parasol which is white and silver.

The last four members of the Talons are:
- Laurel,
- Grayson,
- Grace, and
- Kenneth
Laurel has long blonde hair, and a fully covering white visor over her eyes. She is wearing some kind of full body jumpsuit made of glossy material, and above-the-knee boots decorated with red stains and chains. She sits with her right leg bent and the foot on her left shin. Between her legs rests a rifle with a number of attachments. She has her arms up above her head like she is stretch as she sits on a set of stairs. Grayson is sitting in front of a number of crates. His hair is cut into a pair of small spiky tufted mohawks above each ear; they have been bleached blonde from is obvious black hair. He is wearing a black button up shirt decorated with a red curly cloud picture repeated all over them. He is clearly athletic under his clothing. He seems indiffierent to the viewer. Grace is wearing a large face and head covering dome with an elaborate set of electronics that covers her ears, holds her chin, is presenting data to her eyes, and possibly has a microphone. She is wearing a buttoned closed tube top, a puffy midriff jacket, and heavily padded pants with a few utility boxes on a belt near her waist. Her hands are operating the headset. Kenneth is sitting on top of some kind of vehicle. His dark teal shirt is open near the neck to clearly show off his elaborate upper chest tattoo. Across his lap is a very large rifle with a large canister. His hair appears to have been dyed lavender. He looks to the camera with a contemptuous look, he has been lit up from the side by an obviously very yellow lamp which has made his skin discolour to a bright golden yellow.

The next four members of the Talons are:
- Queenie,
- Roderick,
- Viv, and
- Charlie
Queenie is a SE Asian woman with black lipstick, and winged eyeliner. Her hair is in a top-pony tail and been mostly dyed a cyan colour. She is wearing a vinyl jacket with a high neck and a number of reinforcements. In her left hand, near the camera, is a blaster pistol; the flash from firing the weapon has tinted all of her a bright green-yellow colour. Roderick is a tall brown-skin man, with one side of his head shaved and long hair. He is wearing a slate grey cardigan over a loose sandy beige turtleneck. His left hand is pointing out like he is about to fire a weapon like a gangster. He is standing in front of some kind of glass wall with a green-on-black display with a large amount of text. Viv has a short bob with a long fringe she's pushed to her left side. Her glossy jacket has overly long sleeves which cover her hands, and a matching neck warmer and mask which obscures all of her face below her eyes. She's standing in front of a backlit yellow and black wall. Charlie is a very athletic looking black man without a shirt, sitting on top of some kind of large covered object, presumably a car. He is wearing heavy dark green pants with a sandy coloured belt; they could be combat fatigues. His hair is long and wavy, reaching down to his chest, and streaked with grey. He seems displeased or tired while he holds his own hands, resting his elbows on his thighs.

Next faction in my #tcg or #ccg or #ecg (do these categories really matter much except distribution?) game Neon City are members of The Talons.

Eights has a shaved undercut of light brown hair on suntanned skin. He is wearing a light grey waistcoat over a black t-sthirt. He is standing in some kind of stairwell.

He is wearing a knitted black turtleneck with a leather or heavy plastic jacket over the top. Behind him is some kind of abstracted design which could belong to public advertising. Samuel is wearing a button-up black short sleeve shirt over the top of a red t shirt.

The last group of four in the 148 are:
- Jacinta Esqueda,
- Joaquin Salvo,
- Carmen Diaz, and
- Catalina Velasquez.

3/3
Jacinta has some clear facial scars on her light-brown skin. She's wearing a reinforced leather helmet, a red leather jacket and tall leather boots. There is a large rifle on her back and she's sitting on top of something, resting her arm on her knee. Joaquin is wearing a durable reinforced leather jacket with internal lighting or sensors. Most of the left of his face has been replaced with a cybernetic device of some kind. He has short hair, and appears to be in a construction area or subway station. Carmen has is leaning back against a graffitied wall in a strapless top, holding a gun while seemingly brushing her hair behind her with the back of the hand holding the gun. Her sunglasses have been treated so they reflect with 148 brighter than the rest of the lenses. One of her eyes glows with a white light where the pupil would be. Catalina is almost scowling. She has brown skin, a shaved head, and on her forehead and scalp is tattooed an elaborate geometric design. She's wearing a tall leather collar with long metal spikes and a ring at the front. Over that is a gloss vinyl jacket/bolero unzipped in front. She is standing in front of a set of stairs and escalators lit with pink light.

In the background someone has sprays 148 in green and yellow over a magenta patch on a tiled wall. Maria del Vega has bleached grey-and-white hair in a details up-do. She has a hot pink long sleeve shirt, some kind of eyepiece display she could see on the edge of her field of view, and a large red-and-black firearm.

Hey #tcg and #ccg folks of Bluesky!
Got a favourite portrait amongst the members of The 148 Gang?
It's part of my NeonCity card game project...
1/3
Idoya Sanchez has a large rifle, a leather jacket with a lot of studs, and obvious electronics on her head. She has light brown skin, brown hair, and is standing in front of brick walls with red and purple lighting. Tonio Sanchez has tight small plaits on his skull, a full but short beard, a quizzical or disgruntled look on his face, and a black hoodie with Pacman Ghosts drawn like horror movie characters. Calos has a push-together mohawk with close cut sides, a slight and maybe smug smile, a 5-o'clock shadow, a grey blue suit and a lavender shirt that isn't buttoned at the collar. He's in front of a nighttime skyline. Marcio Perales has a detailed patterned button-up shirt he's rolled the sleeves and not buttoned at all, clearly showing off his athletic physique underneath. His hair is long and allowed to 'fall where it may'. He stands in front of some indistinct panelling.

Two of the most recent portraits for Neon City Agents.
Left: Dani Goldflower
Right: Wren Vauxhall
A young woman with died red hair, cybernetic red eyes, and light skin stands in front of a rolling-grill door like you'd expect in front of a garage. She's wearing fingerless gloves that clearly have electronics installed, a singlet top with belts under the bust, and olive-drab heavy material pants. A dark skinned young woman with long straight black hair. She's wearing a purple-pink glossy jacket over a red turtle-neck jumpsuit with a cutaway circle in her cleavage. She's sitting on stairs in front of industrial or poor suburb multistorey buildings lit with pink/magenta light.

I've been tinkering with some things for Neon City for later. Marketing and advertising aren't my strongest jam, so... what do you people think? #tcg #ecg folks, do you like the idea of a game intended for 3+ players instead of the common head-to-head?
A young man with a number of tight long braids on his head with shaved sides wears sunglasses and a striped-black shirt with the words "Neon City - a Cyberpunk TCG for 3 to 5 players." An asian woman with bright green hair, dark lipstick, holding some kind of firearm with a green muzzle flash wearing a shiny black jacket. The words "Neon City - A Cyberpunk TCG for 3 to 5 players" are above her.

One of today's little projects for me #tcg called Neon City... meet Dani Goldflower. Lucky, good with people, and better at hacking. She's a member of the Dickson Street Gang.
A young woman with red-and-pink hair stands infront of a grilled roller door. Her eyes are black and have red glowing rings where irises would be. She's wearing a black singlet top with a number of buckled belts below the bust. Fingerless gloves on her hands show signs of embedded tech in the back, and you can see the top of rugged olive drab heavy-weight pants. She's lit from the side and a large shadow of her is projected onto the grilled rolling door.
