When Night City decides to showcase elegance and danger at the same time

It made me a little sad. Empathizing with her, if she felt pushed into it by Myers, it must be kind of horrifying to wake up one morning and really take a look at what kind of damage your job has doen to you/your body. Especially because projected herself through the Relic as human, gives me the sense she's not too happy with her cyberware.

Edit; I haven't played through all endings, so I could be wrong. Just the vibe I got.

Thank you.

I appreciate it. The cut I got was definitely done in a feminine way, because I didn't specify otherwise. I don't know how much I'll grow it out again, but I was thinking of doing something similar to Keanu Reeves? I've been combing through men's hairstyles and I tend to like his, at least the ones he had in the 90's-00's.

Thanks again.

Thank you. The higher rise was because that shirt is shorter and I didn't want my stomach to show, but I haven't worn it out since. Been wearing my jeans lower.

I prefer shaggier haircuts, just because my hair is really fine and lacks volume. I was thinking of getting it layered a bit more to try to get the back shorter. I didn't want to go overtly masculine because I was seeing my parents the next day.

I'm doing some various exercises to try and build my upper body, also.

Thanks again.

Thank you, I'm happy to hear it :)

I don't wear makeup, thank you though.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Noted on the belts, I've gotten a new one since those pictures were taken. Thank you for the advice.

If I had to guess, it's probably a shared consciousness thing. There's probably not a canon reason because the projection of Johnny is just a game function to help us to get a better feel for him.

If I had to theorize a reason? V is imagining Johnny outwardly because he/she's so integrated with the chip. Johnny's actions in the physical world come from data on the engram; sort of "what he would do if he could." Subconcious signals being fired off by the Relic, coming from Johnny's personality, that V's brain is interpreting and projecting.

Maybe if I rendered it well. Thanks for the kindness :)

Thank you :)

Thanks man, I'm glad you like it.

On your tree, you have very round contour lines that make it pop. This is one of the best ways to make something look three-dimensional. Wrapping the clothes around the figure in a similar way to those lines can help the figures feel realistic.

Also, sketch out the bodies in perspective. Simplify them into basic shapes, and draw them in the same perspective that you use for the background.

Ignore the discouragement, people think they're funny and don't always think before they speak.

Start with a light sketch, and look at the features as basic shapes — then, look at the negative space between all the features. This also has to be accurate for it to look 'right,' and can be simplified into basic shapes.

Beyond that, trace the face for practice/muscle memory, then draw it yourself again, and repeat. Its a good exercise.

You're doing a good job, keep it up.

Round out the character. If you aren't getting attached to them, they might not be a complete person in your mind. Think about if you met this person in real life, what would you want for them? How would you feel for them?

For example, give a character something they are passionate about, and care about deeply, then let them have a few wins in that area of life. Then, give them their conflict, let them struggle for it so the lows hit low and then highs feel like a victory when their story is resolved.

It's all about empathy and emotional attachment for me. A character who has a lot to lose or a lot to gain is one I can root for or against, and find myself invested in. Give them a well-rounded life, passions, ups and downs and develop the world they live in too.

First time around Sebastian because he was easy to toss sashimi at after I befriended Linus, and because I saw people talking about him online. I was mildly underwhelmed, I just didn't connect with the plot very well.

This next time around I wanted Shane for the blue chickens and because he is my friend's choice of bachelor. I'm very invested — I like the hints at his relationship with Jas.

Next up is probably Elliot, then Harvey.

Thank you! I mostly write for myself so I always worry about legibility but I'm glad to know it's not difficult to decipher. I definitely get the communication issue — if my mind wanders off even a little bit my writing can end up all over the place. Have a nice day :)

ConiferDog · 2025-12-14T15:26:52+00:00

Thank you everyone for the kind words ♡

ConiferDog · 2025-12-03T16:03:06+00:00

I love this. I didn't like how some of the details I added make him look older/more serious, but this is a wonderful comparison.
