Color: The color palettes are limited, primarily relying on a range of cool, muted tones – blues, grays, greens, and deep purples – contrasted with occasional, strategically placed warm accents like the glow of screens, streetlights, or neon signs (though less prominent neon than classic cyberpunk). This restrained use of color emphasizes the dark, nocturnal, and often desaturated feel of the urban environment and the pervasive presence of technology, contributing to the neo-noir mood.
Lighting: Lighting is a key element in establishing the atmosphere, often utilizing ambient glow from artificial sources (screens, streetlights, interior lights) and sharp contrasts of light and shadow to define forms and textures in the darkness. Light is used to illuminate specific details – a character's face, complex machinery, the wet gleam of a street – creating a sense of depth and drawing the viewer's eye through the intricate scenes. The lighting feels integral to the environment, reflecting the technological and urban context.
Design Technique: The styles emphasize highly detailed illustration, particularly in rendering complex technological equipment, urban architecture, and cluttered interior spaces. Linework is visible and contributes to the gritty, hand-drawn feel. Compositions often feature a sense of depth and perspective, pulling the viewer into dense environments and placing characters within these intricate settings. The subjects often suggest moments of focus, isolation, or quiet activity within a larger, complex technological world. The styles convey a sense of immersive world-building, technological realism, detailed craftsmanship, and a cool, atmospheric intensity reminiscent of classic sci-fi anime and gritty urban dramas.
