I need to start todays article off with a massive thank you to Jack Glanfield. He’s been a MASSIVE supporter of Knights of Dice from the very beginning, he’s ordered directly from us many times and also from Shiny Games in Nottingham, his support has been legendary and today’s article has been inspired by some images he recently shared with me.
Realism vs Perspective … it’s an interesting topic and one that is more relevant to science fiction, at least in my mind, than it is to a historical setting. In this instance we’re specifically talking about the cyberpunk genre.
To kick things off lets have a look at this image Jack sent me, this is the ‘feeling’ he is trying to capture. It’s immediately recognisable as a ‘cyberpunk’ scene and for me, it immediately conjures up thoughts of Blade Runner. Dark, wet and punctuated by LOADS of neon.
