It’s my turn to set the Community Challenge for this week…

Theme

Dive into the gritty neon-lit streets of cyberpunk with our latest theme: ‘High Tech, Low Life.’

In this artistic exploration, I challenge you to capture the essence of a cyberpunk world where advanced technology and societal decay intertwine.

Picture towering skyscrapers and neon signs, juxtaposed with the raw struggles of life on the streets. Your art should tell stories of resilience and survival in an urban dystopia, where the futuristic and the forlorn are inseparably intertwined.

    Prompt: A dramatic vision of post-global warming New York City in a cyberpunk style, emphasizing extremely high walls and raised sea levels. The scene showcases towering walls that dwarf the city’s skyscrapers, clearly built to hold back the dramatically risen ocean waters. The cityscape is adorned with neon lights and advanced technology, with futuristic buildings and digital displays. The ocean’s water is visibly high, almost at the brink of the walls, showcasing the severe impact of global warming. The setting is during a dusk-like atmosphere, highlighting the contrast between the dark, threatening waters and the brightly lit, resilient city.

    I sorta cheated. I watched The Expanse.
