Description
When making 'Metru Nui sights - An Island City' i would take a screenshot for every time I was about to close my Photoshop file for fun to compare with how much progress that had been made since i opened it.This GIF combines all the total 31 screenshot that was taken. There is about 2 months of time between the first to the last image.

Does it sound weird that I like the first concept art more that the finish?
Amazing job.

Hahaha not at all. The first sketch reads better as a whole image as it is more simple and more flat.. on the other hand the final piece is very unbalanced as a whole, since both top and buttom is relatively simple, while it has a band with very dense imagery going across it. (It focuses more on the zoomed-in-compositions you can get from looking closer).. also, all sketches are generally more fascinating because they leave stuff to your imagination while finished pieces are more fully polished leaving no room for imagination to work at all and so can feel more bland and uninteresting.
So it's pretty justified.

It's so cool to see it come together like this. Adds a whole new element of life to the painting.

I just took random screenshots every time I was about to close Photoshop after working on it and ended up with like 31 screenshots... I find this quite mesmerizing too.

Really inspiring stuff for someone like me who should be learning how to do backgrounds as well as my foreground figures
You really know your cyberpunk

I'm not that good at cyberpunk design, i just make it look like that with flashy lights and dense imagery

By cyberpunk I was just meaning that with all those hundreds of buildings you were able to reflect the style of a lot of background plates of classic science fiction movies that came to define what "cyberpunk" is, such as Blade Runner, The Matrix, etc
I've only done something like this with buildings with an old portrait of Bordakh, I'm feeling inspired to continue doing more Metru Nui illustrations because it truly is an underdeveloped era for Bionicle. They really underestimated our love of cybercities

ah i see.. well then yea I guess your right :d that's pretty how I look at it.
I remember seeing your bordakh piece. What I really like about that one is that it tries to define the actual cityscape and it has a really strong mood.

Check out Bionicle stuff. Old-ish, yet really cool concepts.
