Hmmm...very cool. I've never read the graphic novel version of Neuromancer - are these taken / inspired from that, or are they totally original?
I love the colors in the first one.

There had to be some Neuromancer art appearing one day Chiba city looks awesome. Having the pink colour for the bar is great for getting across it's cheap and tacky feel. The barman had a pink prosthetic arm, too, didn't he? Having the space invaders screenshot is a great touch, too. Again, it adds to the tacky feel.

Molly's a bit different to how I pictured her. I'm not quoting from the book here, but I imagined her to be very Asian-looking, long straight black hair. Great work on the leather jacket, her build and those oh-so-deadly extendable nails. As for the fletchette gun, the book mentioned several times that it had a pepper-box muzzle (two rows of holes in the barrel for air-cooling). Adding that might make it look a little more hi-tech.

Sorry about babbling on. I'm just another big fan of the book

damn... the first one is really fing cool. I love the look to it. And the girl has funky eyes and that's cool, but they are funky

[tek9z]

thnx!
Catfish> originals that is
Highfive> the "chat" is what you're refering to- but that's another bar -maybe i'll do that one another day.
and yes it isn't exactly the right Molly yet.
will redo her soon

hey tek great work (i did that 0G web a while back) anywho great work love the bar

[grasshoppa]

Wow, I always love your stuff tek9z, and I'm a huge fan of William Gibson, I just finished Idoru. I like the way you recreated the bar. I guess I had always pictured molly with crome glasses as opposed to dark glasses though. I don't know also you are right about Case's jacket. Love the work though, can't wait to see more *hint, hint*.

Wow, that's really nice. I like the slightly sketchy thing going on here. Heh, love the Atari logo too.

Almost bought "The Difference Engine" the other day. Wondered whether you'd read it and thought it was worth buying?

[horstenpeter]

Hey tek9z, great stuff as usual. I should really get around to painting those background sketches you sent me, but I'm so busy with finishing my application for art school these days. Can't really come up with any helpful critics, my head is so numb

[tek9z]

ceenda > "The Difference Engine" is a must read!
combines cyberpunk with a great era:
late 19century . go get it!
horstenpeter > in your own time..
take it easy
