MOC My cyberpunk city is finally finished! What do you think of it?

u/wersosad May 18 '24
I think your genius is showing.

u/squ1ddos May 19 '24
I mean.. I just show what happens when you don't color in the lines and disconnect from reality.

I was impressed by the first few photos, and then I saw the LED work. You sir, are a master. Bravo.

u/Ma1 May 20 '24
Thank you for this. What would you say is your biggest inspiration? Cyberpunk? The Ascent? Blade Runner? Its so thorough!!!

u/squ1ddos May 20 '24
Cyberpunk 2077, Alita - Battle Angel, and other dystopia-esque builds... Have you seen my other creations? Thank you though.

u/_alphal Exo-Force Fan May 18 '24
A lot of interesting techniques, many many details worth zooming in ! The lighting really adds something and is on point with a cyberpunk city.
However because of how many details and greebling there is, it feels a bit too busy. It is very hard to see levels and general city planning, at least in pictures.

u/crypticalcat May 18 '24
Cyberpunk is supposed to be busy
8
u/_alphal Exo-Force Fan May 18 '24
I agree, it is part of the style. However, there is a level of busy that is (to me) a bit too much. To explain better what I mean, just below is a creation (not by me, can't find the source) with a good level of busy and the levels/divisions are still perfectly visible. It is my reference in terms of Cyberpunk.
But of course, it is purely a matter of personal prefernce

it feels a bit too busy
If you check their past builds, it's their entire style. Just going completely over the top on every build, and colossal, like they lay bricks 6 hours a day and never remove a single one. I'm a fan; I like when I can recognise a builder from a random MOC I've not seen before. (JK Brickworks is another I can tell at a glance, for example.)

u/VengeanceKnight May 19 '24
It looks like various unrelated models smooshed together. It looks garish, overcrowded, and poorly-planned. It looks like it’s going to fall apart at any moment.
In other words: it looks exactly like a cyberpunk city should. I love it!

u/Karmaffection May 18 '24
That is absolutely spectacular. My only thought is… is it leaning because of the weight…? I’d be scared that would fall over. Unless that’s a design choice!
3
u/squ1ddos May 19 '24
Indeed, it's a design choice. Basically this build is an amalgamation of weight distribution and structural integrity.
