Cyberpunk, Paul Maybury


When I was invited to do this, I whined about how I was too busy to jump on the bandwagon right away and do the first topic. "I'm in between deadlines, I don't know where my clean socks are, I'm moving and blah blah."

Then, out of nowhere, I ended up drawing this as a warm up sketch. I believe I was the first to complete this week's assignment too. I'm pretty confident that I will never turn in something early again, let alone on time.

  1. Nice and gritty, man. It really encapsulates that 80's dystopian funk that went with the whole cyberpunk movement.

  2. I love the pixelated coloring approach. Nice contrast to the fluid inking.

  4. Put me down also for pixelated color, Paul. I like the color selections themselves also. The torso brings back fond memories of '80s cyber-manga.

  5. Thanks guys, I tried to be delicate and vibrant at the same time with the colors. I always feel like I overdo it a bit, and take away from my line art.

    I'm coloring a whole Savage Dragon story like this, currently.

  6. Can't wait to check out that Savage Dragon story, Paul. This is extra chic! Ditto to Mike on hose sound effects, too!
