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.

  1. Follow the community’s rules above all else

  2. One comment and image per user

  3. Embed image directly in the post (no external link)

    I built this in Chat GPT with the prompt: Create a vertical image in a cyberpunk dystopia where the bright future was once ideal but has fallen far from it after a series of wars and atomic bombs, it’s been a century since humans lived on the planet, nature is taking over and regrowth has started in the city center where wildlife make their way down the street as they make walk past the remains of a few cyberpunk humans with the focus on a cyberpunk human skull

    My current workflow is to keep editing the original prompt by adding color or detail until I get what I see in my head. I used to say “redo the image” in a new chat and I learned it would forget previous details and would get overly focused on others and not let go of them. This way it seems more likely to follow my direction without just starting a bunch of new chats.
