Bit of an idiot who loves writing, motorcycles, video games, and cyberpunk.

A debut novel is crawling slowly towards publication, with an in-universe novella coming as well.

Another amazing bit of magazine cover art from Force Fluide www.artstation.com/forcefluide2. More retro scifi glam than #cyberpunk, but I'm partial to the inclusion of Wayne Rainey's 1988 YZR500.

Disturbing, in both style and content. I love it. #cyberpunk woman from Rashed AlAkroka www.artstation.com/rashedjrs
Headshot in black/white of a woman with cybernetics running up the sides of her face, cybernetic ears, and an exposed jaw that appears metallic. Digital art that looks like it was done with an oil pencil.

The sand toys are a bit of an odd choice, but I do like the general feel of this #cyberpunk image. The narrow view into what feels like the last possible option for whoever is desperate enough for whatever this machine would be vending. www.artstation.com/optics9348
A cyberpunk vending machine in a narrow view through obscuring junk. Appears to be tucked away where only the very desperate would reach it.

The best #cyberpunk office future-me can ever hope for by Krzysztof Maziarz www.artstation.com/krzymsky
A small office in a nearly enclosed glass cubicle, filthy and cluttered with vending machines directly outside so the worker never has to leave.

Not overtly #cyberpunk, more transhumanist as the title indicates, but still a very arresting piece of art from Anna Mary M via their ArtStation www.artstation.com/ttomb6.
Digital painting of a woman removing a faceplate, with hands holding other faceplates nearby, on a heavy red background with wires and skeletal structure visible.

High tech low life #cyberpunk image from Eddie Mendoza www.artstation.com/eddie. Even when there is a technical replacement for phones (implants) I think they will persist. You want people to know you're on a call, not talking to yourself and people do like to indicate social status through devices.
A cyberpunk image with a blonde haired Asian woman taking a selfie. She has a cybernetic arm holding the camera and is smoking a cigarette. There is a futuristic rifle leaning against the wall behind her.

The final image is really cool, but I like this progression of the WIP designs for this #cyberpunk megacorp security PMC officer by Nick Bray www.artstation.com/nickbray

This isn't the final version of this #cyberpunk drawing by Clint Cearley www.artstation.com/clintcearley, but I think I like it more than the finished version. There is a roughness to it, and I like the more subdued lighting compared to the final fully blocked and colored piece.

Heavy mood in this #cyberpunk street concept from Francisco Landa www.artstation.com/patxi_landa. The full red scheme instead of the more common blend of blues/purples/greens gives it a more ominous feel. Rachel from Blade Runner makes a cameo on one of the billboards.

Even the more stationary poses in these #cyberpunk book covers from Ignacio Bazan-Lazcano exude action. They were done for @dlyoung.bsky.social's Cyberpunk City series which has now been added as next up on my reading list.

Hyperrealistic #cyberpunk character from Robin Isola, via their ArtStation www.artstation.com/isolart
Hyperrealistic Blender model of a young woman in a cyberpunk style. Her hair is black with shaved sides and a few strands dyed blue. She has cyberware lines on her face and neck, and two lip rings.

A new #cyberpunk/#scifi novel by debut author Bryant Callahan. Love the cover design with the traditional oil painting, DaVinci Creation of Adam feel to it.

A serialized release via Substack - vastland.substack.com

I was planning on very few physical ARCs for my #cyberpunk novel, but the ones I do send out I was going to include a bookmark or sticker, so I had my cover artist draw this disgusting rollerdog.

There's a very different use of light in this 3d model created by Shubham Parte. Instead of the dark gloom of most #cyberpunk scenes, they have used that Golden Hour light to wash out the neon and bathe the scene. More cool stuff on their ArtStation page www.artstation.com/shubhamparte

This is a great first chapter for Mira Wendam's new #cyberpunk novel, Dead Line. Free on their site now. It reminded me of 36 Streets from T.R. Napper.

Concept art from Huang Fan that would look at home in Blade Runner. A very different style from most #cyberpunk pieces, with almost a collage feel to it in her hair and the tattoo on her arm. A bunch more scifi pieces in their ArtStation portfolio www.artstation.com/fanhuang
A cyberpunk woman, naked other than orange stripes across her nipples, holds two pistols arms outstretch as she stands in the rain.

This piece by @seventeenth.bsky.social is amazing, especially in how it conveys the oppressively garish aspects of the #cyberpunk environment, but with a relatively soft palette and implied detail instead of an overwhelming set of visuals. From their Cara page here cara.app/post/ec87775...

High level of detail in a a bit of a retro anime style for these #cyberpunk environments by Tano Bonfanti www.artstation.com/artwork/k4e6od
A cyberpunk building in a retro anime style, highly detailed with graffiti along the bottom of the building.

No sauce for this #WIPsnips, but condiments is close. There is a bit earlier in the chapter that sets the context for the pig trotter part, but even in #cyberpunk dystopian futures, convenience store hot dog technology has not evolved. It has already reached the pinnacle of tube meat delivery.
Cuno purchases the most disgusting of the remaining roller dogs to save the other two for the next day. The android servicing the counter tries to sell him condiments to go with it, but he can't afford them.

A #cyberpunk idiot is confronted with a much more manual piece of technology than he is used to. #WIPsnips for the novella.
Cuno tries to use an old dev deck, but finds the lack of interface or controls confusing.

Tiny little #WIPsnips, not from the main MS but the novella that's also a WIP to give me something to do other than stare at the main ms.

A short little #WIPsnips today ... plenty of teams in the MS, but this is a more self contained little blurb.
