Tiong Bahru 2077

Before

After

Narrative

I love Cyberpunk 2077 HAHA Yes that’s it. This is my take on Singapore in 2077 in the world of cyberpunk. The mix of the familiar Tiong Bahru with a futuristic-y world.

Step 1
A shot of human walking in Tiong Bahru bc why not. Then it was the isolation of three things which is the foreground buildings, background building and le sky. Then adding the cyberpunk city.
Then basic colour balance and very intense selective colouring for the buildings to match the city.
Koi. Added glow to it so it looks more lively and techy.
Gave girl the iconic cyberpunk samurai jacket and gave her a pop of colour to stand out from the background just a lil.
Added blue glow from the door bc why not and it highlights subject just a lil more. Tried adding orange glow from the windows but sis looked tacky.
Added fog/smoke bc we all know that in 2077, factories finna be everywhere and global warming.
last selective colour is just to give the whites a bit more white so that it glows. But can’t really tell from these two screengrabs.

GASP RIGHT? I COULD NEVER. But yes, the whole thing about putting something so futuristic with something that seems to be of the past. Though I wanted to do another cyberpunk idea, this one really caught my eye. Thanks Pedro.
Yessssss. Okay now the game that started it all. I love this game even though it’s buggy. Some iconic things I included into my image from the game were…

  1. helllooooo your before and after. wow. like woah. I love the city vibes here, but i do think that making the foreground more vibrant would really brighten up the composite further. nice work!!!

  2. Loveeeee the concept! I think you did a really good job blending the buildings together but I feel that the foreground koi fish could have just a little more transparency and some highlights on the jacket 😀

  3. I like the fish and how the yellow of the fish contrasts with the background. I agree with the cher that you should have added more fish

  4. SAMANTHA HAHA u really nailed the cyberpunk vibes damn haha I am a fan of this kind of concept and I think you rlly brought life to this whole idea. I love the background you added and the FIshes!! super cool work la. Like the colors, rlly brought everything together!!

  5. So futuristic! It totally doesn’t look like singapore at all, good job!!! I do think that the human could have been more vibrant like the goldfishes!

  6. Hey there! I love how luminous the fishes are and it’s soooooooooooooooo magical! This piece that is. I would love to have koi fishes  ”swimming” around me LOL but really, love the colour tones in this. I agree that adding hints of purple and glow would rlly enhance your work. Great job!

  7. CYBERPUNK 2077 FTW SKJDFHAAAAAAA i love that you added some elements from the game itself into your image GORL you did amazin i love the goldfishies movin about within the city buildings i wish tiong bahru would be like this in the future HAHKSHF

  8. Very vibrant and lively~

    I love the concept omggggdfjgdog f111111$hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    I think the colours really pop and that’s so fun AAAAAAAAAAAAAA~!

  9. I like the image overall! but I felt adding a bit of purple light like one of your reference image might make it even more futuristic

  10. I really like the idea that you are going for and being able to pull it off. really COOL! and really sick creating a whole back ground like that and making it all a piece.
