Detailed Description
Cyberpunk is a subgenre of science fiction that typically features a countercultural group of rebels who fight against an oppressive society controlled by advanced technology. Cyberpunk stories often have a dark and cynical tone, and focus on themes of social alienation, artificial intelligence, and post-humanity. Cyberpunk artwork is often characterized by its dark, futuristic, and gritty style. This art style is heavily influenced by film noir, and often features cityscapes and characters that are heavily cybernetic or have augmentations. Some famous cyberpunk artists include Hajime Sorayama, Syd Mead, and Masamune Shirow. Shirow is particularly famous for his work on the Ghost in the Shell manga and anime series. Cyberpunk artwork often has a strong visual impact, and can be both highly stylized and visually arresting. If you’re a fan of science fiction or dystopian stories, then you’re sure to appreciate the unique aesthetic of cyberpunk art.
