I can hear the music from Blade Runner when I look at these....

Blade Runner taught me that it rains a lot in the future

We are fascinated with these dark images but in the future, the buildings are more likely to have a light tone, than a dark one. Consider our architectural evolution throughout history. The future will most likely look like this, this or, why not, this.

I was searching for another digital painting featuring an urban landscape, something like a wide street with no cars and white buildings on each of its sides, but I couldn't find it. That would have been the most accurate example of the list I showed you.

It depends on whether we take the Eco or the Tycoon path then. I still need to play Anno 2070.

I think it's important to keep in mind that these are intended as much as art as "prediction." The problem with clean, glistening, white cities is that they draw on associations of perfection or cleanliness, which is a bit odds with the "seedy" side of society that cyberpunk tends to focus on.

(That said, there's a certain attraction to contrasting "beautiful" city with corruption, or some darker side.)

That, and they're generally set a night, when all buildings look pretty dark. And that all sorts of lights don't show up as well on a white city.

A lot of these are already there but you could x-post to /r/Cyberpunk

[–]Ryuho 0 points1 point ago

I honestly thought this post was in /r/cyberpunk lol

[–]AfricazMost 1 point2 points ago

This is just regular sci-fi, and not Cyberpunk.

[–]Add4164[S] 1 point2 points ago

I didn't only posted it as "Cyberpunk" because it looks really cyberpunked, but because it says so in the source page

Is there a way to get this in a zip file?

How does one go about getting such a link for Imgur albums? :)

[–]boq 1 point2 points ago

It says "Download" below the image, between "Embed" and "Switch layout."

The tower in the background of the first picture looks like a futuristic Barad-dur from Lord of the Rings. At least I think it does.

Yay 1920x1200 big boy wallpapers! I am so sick of the 1920x1080 garbage that people are constantly posting here. Thank you!

[–]Han_soliloquy 5 points6 points ago

[–]neonmeate[!] 0 points1 point ago

These are so painfully derivative of Blade Runner that it just hurts.
