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.

  2. One comment and image per user

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

      Looks like we had pretty similar ideas, it’s a bit disappointing how similar mine looks. feel like we’re switching from it’s AI generated it has 6 fingers to it’s AI generated, looks like Dall-E 3 version of “cyberpunk slum”

    Prompt: A dramatic vision of post-global warming New York City in a cyberpunk style, emphasizing extremely high walls and raised sea levels. The scene showcases towering walls that dwarf the city’s skyscrapers, clearly built to hold back the dramatically risen ocean waters. The cityscape is adorned with neon lights and advanced technology, with futuristic buildings and digital displays. The ocean’s water is visibly high, almost at the brink of the walls, showcasing the severe impact of global warming. The setting is during a dusk-like atmosphere, highlighting the contrast between the dark, threatening waters and the brightly lit, resilient city.

    I sorta cheated. I watched The Expanse.

    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.

    Created on Artbreeder SDXL Collager and then enlarged by whatever algorithm the site uses. To create it, I fed a previous Michael Jackson render back in, added some neon green bits, and changed the prompt to what’s below. This image came out on my second try.

    “Kentaro Miura, stanley artgerm, Yusuke Murata. cyberpunk thriller, red jacket, full body. epic, cinematic, intricate neon lights, creepy, technology, grunge, futuristic, metroid prime, mystic, hd, hq, cinematic, highly detailed digital art, very realistic, dangerous, fantasy, surreal, dream, many small details, concept art, illustration”

    A bit late to the party, but here is my take.

    Generated it in ChatGPT with the following prompt:

    Generate a photorealistic picture of a man clothed in rags in a run-down room, holding hands with a small child clothed in rags looking forlorn out of the dirty window at the glittering futuristic city, insanely wealthy city in the distance behind a slight layer of dust behind the slum which is visible from the window.

    which led to the image prompt:

    A photorealistic image of a man and a small child, both dressed in rags, in a run-down room. The man is holding hands with the child, who looks forlorn out of a dirty window. Outside the window, there’s a view of a glittering, futuristic, and wealthy city in the distance, partially obscured by a slight layer of dust and the visible slum. The contrast between the impoverished interior and the opulent cityscape outside is striking.
