LSR/CITY CYBERPUNK, banner for Gareth Emery

Gareth Emery was in need of a banner for his events in 2025, he needed something that would capture the feel of the whole show. His manager came to me with AI generated reference images that showed me the whole idea of the image. Based on that I created the whole 3D environment, we concluded that it would be quicker and favorable to use downloaded 3D content for some parts of the scene so we purchased neon signs and trash/litter asset packs, including some skyscrappers in the back.

The project was success, it was posted on Gareth Emery's instagram.

Our main character is Gareth Emery himself, he went to photoshooting couple of days after we started the project. I instructed his team that the photos should be taken by him facing the camera and the light being cast in front of him at an angle. Originaly, details on his costume were not so visible so I had to color correct certain aspects and areas such as metal plates on his chest, brightness and reflections of the leather material.
