#cyber dasher

this was an interesting composition that i hit the ground running with. many parts i could've tightened or polished up, but i wished to have it complete over perfect. the initial draft had a couple more darkners in here: a maus on the railing with the addisons on the top right; a plugboy with a bandanna entering the "groce" (name of the store); a werewire in the far background visually between cyber-dashers, checking for rain; and cliq was actually walking side by side with the orange addison.

the first three i forgot to incorporate, and by the time i was done i decided i didn't want to force squeezing them in. for cliq, at some point i decided it'd be funny if he was actually meeting ceres and company at their intended location. so he's suspiciously absent here, but hasn't been forgotten.

that overhead bridge in the addison alley is actually my favorite detail in cyber city. first playing through that part, seeing the little cars walk by on a tiny path and getting to walk under them... it filled me with... uh... what's the word again? but i really latched onto the idea of filling out that part a bit more. i like the idea of cyber city having layers upon layers upon layers... above the cyber dashers you can see me trying to incorporate yet another ambiguous bridge in the distance. i'm aware that there's no foliage in the cyber city we go through, but i'd like to imagine that any sort of park or "green" space is simply slightly out of frame.
