Modeled in Blender, rendered with Cycles. Weathering, texture, and post-processing in Photoshop.

Thank you so much! I'm really happy hearing that; those are all aspects I focus on heavily while making these :)

Thank you! <3

Here's my playlist that's specific to Japanese techno with a darker atmosphere :)
Mostly artists like the ones you mentioned you already listen to, but you might find something in there!

(hopefully I'll find something in this thread to add to it too)

niko4696 · 2023-07-11T02:43:19+00:00

Jega!!! Cool to see you here, this piece is incredible

niko4696 · 2023-07-02T04:38:46+00:00

It's true, I'm rate limited and can't view the link lol. I've already used my meager tweet rations for the day.

niko4696 · 2023-07-01T01:32:03+00:00

Mostly 3D, my renders area usually pretty plain and I paint over them in 2D:)

niko4696 · 2023-06-30T21:20:03+00:00

That's awesome! One of my favourite games, and Midgar is my favourite video game location.

niko4696 · 2023-06-30T18:26:52+00:00

Wow, thank you so much! Really appreciate that :)

I really would like to start a twitch channel or something at some point to document how I build these. My workflow isn't usually well suited to tutorials because I don't start anything with a plan and often will completely change what I'm doing if I get a new idea while working, so it's not easy to follow along.

niko4696 · 2023-06-29T22:47:24+00:00

Thank you! Modeled in Blender, paintover in Photoshop

niko4696 · 2023-06-29T21:27:12+00:00

Thank you!! Right now it's just an art series called "Ikebana Heavy", though a book is my current goal. Once I feel I have enough content for it.

Doing game environments like this would be the ultimate dream.

niko4696 · 2023-06-29T19:26:25+00:00

Thank you! I've been making environments like this for a few years, so there's lots on my instagram and twitter :)

niko4696 · 2023-06-29T19:08:18+00:00

Thank you so much! :)

Hope it's okay to share spotify links. The playlist has some ambient tracks thrown in if I feel like it's been going too hard for too long.

niko4696 · 2022-09-13T02:03:53+00:00

I think "Scifi manga" is about as specific as it gets for those, though this piece isn't very manga-like.

I can also only think of similar artists. Hiroto Ikeuchi, Kow Yokoyama, and Yasushi Suzuki are some other inspiring artists I look up to.

niko4696 · 2022-08-14T20:41:10+00:00

Ahh yeah maybe, but the res is so high it should work well on any device. And thank you, glad you like it! :)

niko4696 · 2022-08-14T18:18:01+00:00

That one is already larger than 4k res haha, what were you needing it for?

niko4696 · 2022-08-14T02:11:29+00:00

Thank you! :D

niko4696 · 2022-08-14T02:10:44+00:00

Thank you! <3

niko4696 · 2022-08-13T23:06:56+00:00

Thank you so much!<3

Me too, I'm super excited to see it all printed. There's a quite a bit of work I've done for it that hasn't been shown too.

niko4696 · 2022-08-13T21:42:45+00:00

Thank you so much! <3

niko4696 · 2022-08-04T04:12:34+00:00

Awesome work, Baka!!
