"RIAUŠIŲ POLICIJA" - I've always found it bizarre how police show off their new riot gear in these news articles and presentations. Surprisingly they often get a lot of support, even on socials like Facebook. But aren't they essentially showing of gear that will stop US if we decide that a revolution is in order? I understand that often uprisings are started by people who are deeply confused. But once in a while a riot is what really brings change and stops corrupt governments from becoming dictatorships. And yet we celebrate the equipment that is bought to crush those revolutions. Once again it seems that wrong and right are often so blurred that even the most educated find it difficult to choose a side. I keep coming back to the conclusion that there's almost never a one answer to any given question. If our Lithuanian police would present a new anti-riot vehicles with machine gun turrets on top that could rip a person to shreds, would we support it as well? 😄 Would it one of those "necessary" evil kind of situations? Food for thought nothing more 😊 Hope you guys like it 🫡 #cybervilnius @lietuvos_policija_ #vilnius #vilnius🇱🇹 #lietuva🇱🇹 #vilniuslithuania #vilniusgram #lietuvoje #vilniusdigitalart #vilniusofficial #skaitmeninismenas #photoshopmanipulation #photoshop_art #riotpolice (at Vilnius, Lithuania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoPVfkhNCF9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"ATLANTAS" - Labai smagu kiekvienais metais vis labiau atsisukti į savo miestą. Kapstyti jo istorijas, narplioti socialines problemas ir visaip kaip tyrinėti. Savo darbuose mėgstu suplakti ateitį su praeitim ir taip visus (kaip ir save patį) priversti labiau pakelti akis DABAR. Ir vaikščiojant jau šimtus kartų pramintomis gatvėmis, vėl pakelti akis ir apsižvalgyti. Kiek daug mus įvairiapusiško grožio supa, prie kurio mes tiesiog pripratom. Ačiū, už kiekvieną skulptūrą, siaurą gatvelę, baisų daugiabutį ar architektūrinį stebukla kurie mus supa. Nieko šiame pasaulyje nėra nuobodaus išskyrus mūsų požiūrį 💙 Su 700-tuoju, Vilniau 😊 Gal kas žinot kokią keistą istoriją turi būtent ši Vilniaus statula? 🤭 #vilnius #vilnius🇱🇹 #vilniusoldtown #700vilnius #vilniustourism #lietuva🇱🇹 #lietuva #senamiestis #cybervilnius @vilniusofficial @govilnius #futuristic #surrealistic #photomanipulation #oldmeetsnew (at Vilnius, Lithuania) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn7CcW8NZ7D/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Contrast" - when working on new pieces I enjoy touching on topics that seem to escape time. Certain issues that we have as a society seem to bypass progress and growth. Regardless of how much we advance in certain fields or how much richer the rich get, the poor stay poor. I have long been an advocate for anti growth as it seems to only divide us more. While it solves many issues it's often only for those who can afford the sollutions. While some are born into privilege and wealth those born in scarcity rarely escape it. And even though in a capitalist society, division is one of the main factors for progress, it becomes easy to disregard failure as lack of effort. But certain factors of life that play a major role are often ignored. Things like luck, enviroment, family and freedom. We tend to believe that we are free to make choices and take risks and that life is a book where we are writers. But things are rarely as simple as they seem. Those who are less fortunate are perfect examples of that. I hope we are all able to become more compassionate in the future. Feels like we need a little less growth in the economy department and more in the departments of our minds. 🫶 #cybervilnius #cyberpunk #cyberart #vilnius #vilniusofficial #vilniuslithuania #lithuaniahq #lithuania_pics #lietuva🇱🇹 #vilnius🇱🇹 #homelessness #digitalartists #photoshop_art #manipulationart #digitaledit #phaserunnercommunity #pscreativers #futurism (at Vilnius, Lithuania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnojABUNFyx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"ANIMAL" - Grabbed a street shot a few months back next to spaudos rūmai and edited it up. I love turning day photos into night scenes but I loose control of the lighting real quick. Still a fun edit and captured the idea I was trying to push with it. Hope you guys dig it and have a great weekend 🥰 #vilnius #vilnius🇱🇹 #vilniusdigitalart #lithuania_pics #lithuania🇱🇹 #lithuaniadigitalart #lietuva🇱🇹 #photoshopping #photobash #photobashing #cyberpunkedits #cyberart #manipulationart #scifiartwork (at Vilnius, Lithuania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnW59Y-NGGB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"CHEAP USED SUPERCARS" - here's a poster I got commissioned to make for @carvertical_com a few months back. The original shot was taken at Kalvarijų turgus. I actually had to came back a few times to take reference shots when it was a little more populated. 😄 It's always a blast to speculate on the future. Often you find yourself saying "well there's probably no way that is going to happen" and yet that's probably what the last 5 generations thought about the future aswell. And here we are with self driving cars, lidar scanners in our pockets, AI having conversations and creating art. It's almost impossible to guess what the world will look like 50 years from now. Let alone a couple of hundred 😄 Hope everyone had a fun, safe new years celebration Have a nice weekend all 😊 #cybervilnius #lithuania_pics #lithuaniahq #vilniusgram #vilniusdigitalart #kalvarijuturgus #lithuania🇱🇹 #vilnius🇱🇹 #digitalartistsofinstagram #photoshop_art #photomanipulation #beforeandafter #futurism (at Vilnius, Lithuania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnEawuJtCw7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

CHILLIN' - I took the photo I used for this edit a few summers ago and I could never finish it. I kept coming back to it, editing it and then deleting it. But finally I found something that sticks and I got the piece that I wanted. 😊 The year of the rabbit is right around the corner and I just wanted to wish all of you guys a calm and peacefull period. The world has started to evolve at an incredible pace and I know many of us feel like it's hard to grasp everything that's happening. As we get older it only makes sense that eventually the world starts moving past you a little bit and all the youngsters take charge. But we are all in the same boat. As I turn 30 this year I finally realised something that took way too long to figure out. And that's that no one really knows what the hell they're doing. Not even the experts. We all experience the world realtive to us and try to make ends meet, but they beauty is that they never really do. The more you learn the more questions you can raise and the deeper the forest gets. So let's try to stay calm, collected,empathic and hope that things turn out for the better. Or don't. Be crazy and bold, it's your life and you're the only one who knows how to live it. It's a bizzare ride we're all on so let's just try to keep it on the tracks to the best of our abilities 😄 Happy New Year Everyone ✌️ #newyearcelebrations #newyear2023 #cyberpunk #vilnius #lithuania #cybervilnius #vilniusofficial #lithuania_pics #lietuva🇱🇹 #photoshop_art #photoshoper #digitalartists #bmwedit #photoeditingskills #yearoftherabbit (at Vilnius, Lithuania) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmy5P6_tEtZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"OZO 32"- here's the piece I ran the contest for in all it's glory. I absolutelly love the architecture of these appartment blocks in Šeškinė. With this piece I wanted to do a bit of a social commentary on the age of adds and commercials that we live in. I used over 80 adds collected from a just a few news outlet websites to create this piece. It is absolutelly astonoshing the ammount of commercials and adds we are constantly being exposed to. We've almost become blind to it. I imagined a futute where corps can use your living space or even buy out your entire appartment just to instal screens and banners on the walls. George Carlin and Banksy are some of my idols and I was very ispired by them when making this piece. ... Konkursas baigesi! Laimėtojas išrinktas! Sveikinimai @martinookas ! Didžiausias įmanomas AČIŪ visiems kurie laikinot komentavot ir dalinotės! Iš 150 komentarų, 39 iš jūsų atsakė teisingai. Daugiabutis yra Ozo gatvėje 32 Šeškinė. Iškart už sankryžos prie Akropolio. Daugiabučių turim daugybe ir nerealių bet mažai jų yra neapsupti medžių ar kitų daugiabučių. Šį gražuolį galima nufotografuot praktiškai iš visų pusių be didelių trukdžių. Šeškinės monolitams beje taip pat esu paruošęs idėja kitam editui, bet tokius atsakymus taip pat užskaičiau nes prašiau tik rajono 😁 ... Tikrai planuoju daugiau tokų konkursų ateityje. Nors šiuo darbu komentuojų reklamos absurdiškuma, turbūt nėra geresnės reklamos nei konkursas 😄 Šlovė drakonui žodžiu... Linksmų švenčių visiems! 🤗🤗🤗 #vilnius #vilniusofficial #vilniuslithuania #šeškinė #vilniusgram #lithuaniahq #lithuania_pics #lietuva🇱🇹 #lietuva #digitalartists #photoshoper #cyberpunk #cyberpunkedits #cyberfuture #cybervilnius #surrealistic #dystopian #brutalistarchitecture (at Vilnius, Lithuania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmjRKnutUK0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"GAMErBOY" - here's the second piece I made with my son Niko. I imagined this little street kid, running around the pipework on the outskirts of a mega city. He breaks into the fuseboxes on these electrical pipes to charge his gameboy as it doesn't hold a charge anymore. 🤖 We're pretty happy with how it tutned out! I don't play around with scale and distance enough so it was fun trying to build out the scene from basic shapes. Niko is pretty much at the perfect age to make these and he seems to be having fun aswell 😁 so I hope we'll be able to make a bunch more of these types of works together. #cyberpunkart #futurism #futuristicart #photomanipulation #scifiartwork #surrealfuture #vilnius #lithuaniahq #digitalartists #cyberart #futuristicarchitecture #dystopianfiction #dystopianart #cyberkids #futurekids #ps #photoshop_art #photoshoper #skaitmeninismenas (at Vilnius, Lithuania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmQz5tctyzB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"STRANDED" - Here's a piece I made from a photo I took of me and my son. I had this idea for the longest time and was finally able to make it. Originally I had the idea of both us looking out the window holding our guns but Niko had the awesome idea of solving some kind of puzzle while I'm standing guard. It actually made the whole piece have more depth and story so we went with it! And it came out awesome. I couldn't be more proud of my little creative dude. This idea was inspired by @hideo_kojima "Death Stranding". As in the first part you carry around a baby so for the second part I thought they might go for a "God of War" approach and have you travel with a kid that's a little older. As luck would have it the trailer for the new "Death stranding 2" just dropped and it's nuts! There are so many awesome ideas stuffed into a 4 minute trailer, it makes me fall in love with science fiction and fantasy all over again. We trully are limited only by our imaginations. Hope you guys dig the piece and I got another one in the works with Niko as the main character that I'll be posting next week. Have a great weekend all! 💙 #deathstranding #deathstrandinggame #deathstranding2 #death_stranding_2 #hideokojima #photoshop_art #photomanipulation #vilnius #lithuanian #cyberpunkedits #cyberart #digitalartists #photobash #ps #launchdesigns #phaserunnercommunity #bennyreview #digitalcolloseum (at Vilnius, Lithuania) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl8JBtQN2p2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Sorceress" - so last weekend we had a little photoshoot with the family. This is the piece I made from a picture of my wife. She's a big book lover and has a soft spot for magic. So I wanted to turn her into a sorceress that's harvesting some kind of energy from ancient books. 🧙 I'm making 4 manipulations in total two with my wife, one with me and my son and one with just him. In the proccess of shooting I kind of realised that I should really invest in some kind of light because just using window light is a little limiting. I do have a small RGB LED that's great for adding colorfull glows but a nice soft box would be a huge help. I love editing photos that I take myself and I think I'll try to focus on that for more of my manipulations. I hope you guys dig it ✌️ #sorceress #sorceresscosplay #magicart #fantasyart #manipulation #digitalartists #ps #phaserunnercommunity #surrealistic #magicdigitalart #spellart #darkmagiciangirl #darkmagic #glowingeyes #glowarts (at Vilnius, Lithuania) https://www.instagram.com/p/Clsze03tqbe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Puddle Children" - quick little late night edit. Keeping up with the trend of awesome glowing eyes in TV series and movies I made this. Used only two photos and some overlays. I tend to use a lot of assets but sometimes it's fun to see what you can make with just a few. 😁 #manipulation #vilnius #vilniuslithuania #creepychildren #moody #horrorart #digitalartists #photoshoper #photoshop_art #glows #glowingeyes #surrealistic #launchdesigns #phaserunnercommunity #eerieart (at Vilnius, Lithuania) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClYtpdIN2uC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Job Done" - for a while I had this idea to make a self portrait piece with a guy taking a leak. In my mind he had a see through chest and was standing next to his car taking a piss in the wind. A few weeks back on reddit I saw @zilipics post this awesome shot of a WV golf in the mountains and I immediately wrote a comment asking if I could use the pic for one of my edits. The angle of the shot was exactly what I had in my mind. He agreed! And here's the finish piece 😁 A huge thanks to @zilipics for letting me use the awesome photo that he took. I really love the way it turned out hope he digs it too ✌️ #cyberfuturepunk #cyberpunkedits #dystopia #cyberart #vilnius #vilniuslithuania #futuristic #photomanipulation #ps #launchdesigns #instagood #wv #wvgolf #postapocalypticworld #cybercorner #lithuaniahq (at Vilnius, Lithuania) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClGLyJOtKjj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Rūmų Cirkas" - with Halloween right around the corner I think this piece falls right into place. About a week ago we had a really foggy morning here in Vilnius and I loove taking photos in the fog. As luck would have it, the circus was in town and I grabbed a pic of it right next to Spaudos Rūmai. The little trailers lined up around it made for an awesome scene. So I jumped into photoshop and made this. 🤡 I'm not big on making spooky scary stuff but eerie and moody are right up my alley. 👻 Halloween is not a traditional holiday here in Lithuania but I don't mind it making it's way into our culture. The kids love it the teens love it, and it gives a chance for us artists to take a stroll down our darker sides. Užgavėnės is the Lithuanian version of the holiday and instead of buying the masks we make them. Which if you ask me is even more awesome. I'll be sure to make a piece to celebrate it when it comes around, there's some really cool traditions that go along with it 😁 Happy Halloween everyone! 🧛 #halloweenaesthetic #halloweenartwork #vilnius #vilniusofficial #vilniuslithuania #lithuania_pics #lithuaniahq #lithuania🇱🇹 #lietuva🇱🇹 #photoshoper #photoshop_art #launchdesigns #phaserunnercommunity #digitalcolloseum #moodygrams #darkcircus #circusarts #eerieart (at Spaudos Rumai) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkP8FXyDEII/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Sisters" - continuing the theme of eerie but not scary October posts. Here's one I made a while back. I actually used this one as a wallpaper for a long time, I really liked the way the colors turned out. I'm better now at controling details that are for away than I was back then so I would probably do a few things differently. You can't even see that there's a dead pilot in the cockpit but I still really like the filmic mood I was able to achieve with this relativly simple edit. Hope you guys dig it aswell. I still got one more spooky edit lined up from a local shot I took and edited. And will post it next week. 🤡 #octoberart #digitalartists #manipulationart #photoshoper #ps #digitalcreators #moodygrams #spookyseason #planecrash #filmicedit #conceptartwork #phaserunnercommunity #photoshop_art https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj-G13PDsdZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Wolf Hill" - October is always a very fun month for creepy sh*it lovers. My feed gets flooded with spooky artworks and it's awesome. I made this piece like 4 months ago and just never got around to posting it. It's made up of 5 assets, a bunch overlays and a little brushing. Feels like a good time to share it now. 😁 I like exploring concepts where the "main attraction" of the piece is really far away, I think it adds a level of mystery and moodiness as opposed to a really in your face perspective. But I most people would probably disagree and I'm not very good at it 😄 I have a another creppy edit I just finished that I'm really happy with and I'll share it when we get closer to Halloween. ☠️ Have a great weekend guys and gals✌️ #spookyart #spookyseason #octoberart #halloweenaesthetic #creepyartwork #photoshoper #photoshop_art #darkaesthetic #darkart #photshop2022 #digitalart #digitalartworks #moodygrams #moodyedit (at Vilnius, Lithuania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjryEfnDJ9Z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"MEGA TANK" - this summer we went to Kaunas for a few days and I really want to show my kid the shark tank in one of the shopping malls called "MEGA" . He really loved it, I think it was his favourite moment from the trip. I snapped a pic of him running towards the tank and later edited it up to kind of match what I think he was feeling. I love turning very average photos into something awesome and I think I achieved it here 😄 I also never made an edit from Kaunas even though I really love the city and its whole vibe. Maybe Cyber Vilnius will eventually become cyber Lithuania 😉 #lithuania_pics #lithuaniahq #lithuania🇱🇹 #lithuaniadigitalart #kaunas #kaunascity #kaunasmega #digitalartists #photoshop_art #digitalmanipulation #ps #cybervilnius #aquariumart #surrealistic #kaunas2022 (at PLC Mega) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjaU3dmDDBF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Rat vs Cats" - here's a piece I made in phoyoshop purelly to have a little fun. I saw a few stock I really like like and decided to manipulate them into a little action scene. My works tend to be very stattic yet a lot of times I find myself admiring dynamic works, especially ones made by concept artists. This is also partially inspired by the Rat episode from "Love death robots" season 2. I think it was one of my favourite episodes from the season. ☠️ Remember to swipe right to see the whole piece and assets used. I really like making works in a wider aspect ratio but posting them on insta is a bit of a pain. 🤭 Hope you guys dig it and have a great weekend 😊 #manipulationart #photoshop_art #digitalart #ps_magic #manipulations #ratart #catart #surrealist #surreal42 #futuretechnology #futurism #actionscene #photshop2022 #envatoelements #phaserunnercommunity #nemanjasekulic #animalwar (at Vilnius, Lithuania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjFgOYvDqL0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
