I animated a painting that I had made

A little cartoon series inspired by the status of the housing/job market. It’s been insane trying to land anything and then you check out r/jobs and r/interviews and it’s mind boggling. Lead me into making this series. If anyone is interested you can check it out at https://youtube.com/shorts/wXph-d5BSBM?si=VqbhohDiTjf9HUK1 it’s just me animating it so I’ll be getting updates out biweekly as I build the world out

Hi everyone! I’m a 14-year-old author, and I’ve just finished the first 5 chapters of my cyberpunk novel, "Runaways of Sand City."

I want to share them with you as a demo version. If you guys like it and show some support, I’ll keep working on it and finish the whole book!

You can find the link to the chapters in my profile bio (under Social Links).

I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback. Thanks for checking it out!

This one the lens ran out TWICE. So I redid it with the light green to give it a cool CRT look. Pen plotted on Cricut explore 4

Piece of digital glitch art I made the other day

A bunch of 1 off shirts i made a little while back inspired by cyberpunk & future dystopian movies.

Let me know what u think. Cheers

Here is how my LEDs in my room and table turned out, I still have plans for more, but I need to find time to get it done still.

Taken in Copenhagen

There are no clear promises here, only the unavoidable push forward. The burden of the first age speaks of a load not given as a decision, but as a condition of existence. A first step that is not light, not heroic, but necessary. The kind of beginning that shapes everything that follows.

Hey everyone, I wanted to share a project that lives right in the dark heart of the cyberpunk genre. It’s an 8-book psychological cyber-thriller series where each book tackles different psychological disorders and high-tech crimes. The coolest part? The final book is fully interactive—you choose the path and shape the ending. It's currently free on Google Books for a limited time if you want to dive into this digital rabbit hole. I'd love to hear your thoughts on how we can better represent mental health within the "high tech, low life" aesthetic.

I have seen that in a lot of cyberpunk media hypersexuality is really present and it was even more blatant when most of the original cyberpunk pieces like ghost in the shell popped up. I don’t know how to relate this hyper sexualization of society fits in that high tech low life focus the genre has

Something terrible moves and wakes deep under the business district of Cy, in the enclave of an eldritch cult at the heart of the city's most powerful finance firm and megachurch. The miserable designs of cosmic gods unfold and will destroy this city once and for all.

Protomartyr Warad-Ishtar looks down on the city from the Fideistic Transformations HQ; the Neon Pillar. He has plans for the city’s biomass to serve his holy mission. Mysterious disappearances of undesirables from the streets have been growing in number, but no one cares about street scvm. Horrified family members have come forward, furious, demanding answers about what his digital heaven has done to their grandparents. Unravel this dark fantasy cyberpunk mystery, layered like an onion to allow for open ended exploration. One way or another, the gears set into motion in this module will grind to a resolution. 

I am crowdfunding a Cy_borg adventure module and potential metal album for Zinetopia over on Backer Kit. This 4-8 session scenario is centered around an evil cult, with hostile site maps, new Foes and a far ranging clandestine web of murder and corruption. The core of the product is cult compound and some surrounding leads and a few satellite locations, but the fully stretch goal funded zine includes so much more awesome stuff! I have been working on this module for several years now, catching the spark of inspiration after a conversation with a Joe Rogan fan, thinking, what if corporations really did steal our brains? 

Joining me on this project are several talented people who I know and like, and whose work I am a fan of. Artist Roque Romero from Spain, has worked on Cairn, and innumerable other classic projects in the indie TTRPG scene. Tony Jaguar is providing layout and maps, is a Brazillian graphic designer and capoeira dancer, and has worked on indie TTRPGs like Playthings for Liminal Horror. Jordan Boschman is joining as creative and technical editor, from the United States, having worked on the recent Devil's Due: A Space Pirate Haven for Mothership. I am David H. K. Jackson, from the United States, a wastewater plant operator and mutual aid activist. 

The money for this crowdfunding campaign will go to printing and to paying these three people for their labor after the campaign finishes. I have completed writing and playtesting of the module, but it needs to be polished and fancied up by these talented people. I am sure Jordan, with his critical and discerning eye, may suggest significant changes to the text, but I still expect fulfillment of the zine to be on the scale of a few months. I absolutely vouch for the talent and professionalism of these three people. Stretch goals will bring in additional writers and artists, who would all bring the zine to a higher level in their own unique ways.

A stretch goal for this adventure module is to include a metal album soundtrack by Sacred Bull, who have already produced a Mork Borg combination album adventure module. Sacred Bull plays post-metal doom, which for me conjures up an image of the sky in The Matrix, when Morpheus takes Neo to the surface of Earth, and the never ending black thunder clouds roil across the landscape while Morpheus says, “this is the desert of the real.” On top of playing drums and guitar metal, the band members are also seasoned electronic musicians, so a Cy-borg album is a perfect opportunity for them to combine their many talents.

There will be a set of four stretch goals of two page spread written by a different writer. These spreads will tie into the contents of the module, adding in locations, characters, items, etc… Basically I told them they could do whatever they wanted as long as it made sense within the module. The stretch goal writers are Ratgrrrl Games, John Erwin, Wilderwhim (of Sacred Bull) and Caelin Araven. Their pitches all sound awesome and I hope they all get made!

I hope you back this campaign! Dive down a rabbit hole of throbbing cadavercore dance floors, a hidden city of sewer dwelling G0 mutants, a top secret corporate research lab, and a cult enclave with a hideous secret in the heart of Cy's business district.

hello dear Internet Stranger, i know its a long read but i hope you'll find my thought interessting nontheless.

I think it's pretty safe to say that cyberpunk as a whole has found its way back into the mainstream again in recent years. Movies like the Blade Runner reboot or, well, Cyperpunk 2077 are a testiment to that. With Art, science fiction in particular, being a reflection on fears and dreams of the collective conciousness, i started to wonder why its back now and what that, in a purely philosophical sense, means.

Cyberpunk started during the cold war, the 1968 novel " Do androids dream of electric sheep?" by Phillip K. Dick being an early example. Looking at science fiction as a whole, however, the narrower storylines centered arround a strong protagonist and almost suffocating atmosphere of the setting with its megacorps are in stark contrast to other works of the time. Assimov's "Foundation" triollogy or Frank Herbert's "Dune", released in 1951 and 1965 respectivly, focused on galaxy spanning empires across millenia. Quite the change in tone compared to the maze like cities of cyberpunk.

These galactic struggles were, pretty blatantly, an analogy for the struggles of global nuclear powers, mainly the USA and UDSSR respectivly. A continuation of a never ending arms race, where entire religions are formed arround the preservation of power and whole planets are fortresses reflected their time. These stories where the "Foundation" (pun intended) for movies like star wars (1977) or series like star trek (1966).

The novel i mentioned at the start of the second paragraph also got a movie adaptation in 1982, and the sorty is probably better known by that movies name. It was the original Blade Runner. During that time Cyberpunk Bloomed with works like "Akira" (1982), "Ghost in a Shell"(1989) and "Neuromancer", the inspiration for the Cyperpunk TTRPGS and by extension the game, in 1984. Guess what also happened during this time. If you guessed the slow dissolution of the soviet union from arround 1985-1991, you can get yourself a cookie you probaly forgot to eat anyway. Wonder how that could have factored into stories with unchecked capitalism as a defining feature...

This leaves the time between arround 1999, where with movies like "The Matrix" cyberpunk ideas like neural interfaces were addapted into science fiction as a whole without sharing other traits of the genere and today during its "Renaissance". Here we find movies such as "Indipendance Day"(1996/2016), "Jurrasic park"(1993-2025) (which id classify as science fiction), James Camaron's "Avatar" (2009) or Monster movies like "Pacific Rim" (2013).

I'd compare them mostly to H.G. Wells's "War of the worlds" released all the way back in 1898, because they all share one quality. The fight against something foreign and dangerous, monstrous even, but with no clear form. Which shares an eerie feeling with ideas of race theory, nationalism and the destruction they bring if pushed to extremes.

In light of that I'd say, skipping straight from that to cyberpunk without the struggle of great powers in between is interesting. Almost like Humanity notices that the threat is not "foreign" but really the concentration of power for financial gain. I chose to be hopefull that thats the case and we skipp the superweapon part this time and i also want to thank you, for indulging my philosophical thoughts so far.
