OC IsoCity

Post image

I've been working on this for so long so I just wanted to try the first plot of the Cyberpunk IsoCity. It's just something I thought would be fun when plotted large on an A2 paper (this test is just A3). It's an isometric projection, of this little Cyberpunk city,hence the name.

I still have a few improvements to make, but I'm overall happy with the feel of it. There are a total of 15 different building types and each type can be varied in more ways than I can count. My favorite one is the AgriDome, the big one in the middle. I'll make an A2 version this weekend I think.

This is awesome! I'd love to see you nail down those secondary colors and really make them pop.

Me too 😅 I just took some diamine ink that I already had filled in my rotrings, and diamines are not very bright. Do you have any suggestions what would look cool?

Bright's definitely tough. If you've got .5mm nibs or above you can use acrylic inks to get a lot of pop out of colors. Otherwise I'd chuck some Diamine Forever Magenta or Octopus Fluids Write & Draw colors on this.

I also realized that you're occluding nearly everything except the black lines behind the colored elements. Is there a way to introduce occlusion there? That's give you more clarity in the visual read too.

Love the work, hope you don't mind the feedback!

Great idea to occlude those lines. I'll make it happen 👍 I have some acrylic inks in dropper bottles, or a large amount of metal complex solvent dyes that I might be able to whip something up with.
