These are variants of a Pris memorial piece called Retired. Special thanks to Carol DM for giving me the idea for that title. I think scanlines make a piece look more cyberpunk, please tell me which look you prefer. If you don’t like the scanline effect, please say so in the comments…

I prefer single for the same reason Carol mentioned. The character is awesome though!
only now does it occur to me that I could’ve named them half and full duplex respectively
I chose the singles, even though I liked it with optical lines
single has them, too. just not as noticable
You are very welcome. I went for the single, seems more subtle.
Subtle is generally my pick, but for something like this I wonder if blatant is the way to go…
Scanline is like my must-have Ps brushes … I love those effects, but double line seems a little too much imo.
too much or not enough? unsatisfied with either option…
I thought the single line on looks good …
not too sure what is cyberpunk but if you’re going for the “on the verge of broken” tv effect then the 2nd one can work
Cyberpunk is just a flavor of scifi, and dystopian is more like the on the verge of broken…
I like the overall effect Alex. The character continues to grow!
more fun with Pris on the way…
Something new and interesting again … I decided to singl my friend
I can always count on you
With great pleasure dear friend
thanks for following my work so loyally
That is an amazing piece of work. The name is the best part of this.
Just wait until you see Funeral Portrait for a Replicant
I went with the first one since it looks nicer.
can you see the scanlines in the first one?
Yes I did. It was a hard decision to decide which one was the best one.
I know just what you mean
It was tougher than trying to hit Iron Man on his armor without hand being taped.
Well Alex I had to look up what a scanline effect was. Just to say I know nothing about how you do your masterpieces. I especially like the single one because of course it seems there are less lines. The single one is smoother and prettier than the double one. It looks much more natural. But this is just me. I really like the simple lines you used in that portrait. Her hair tumbles down naturally. I give you an A+ grade.
Scanlines replicate a CRT monitor appearance. So essentially I am trying to indicate the future by using outdated technology
Yes, the Scanline effect I have not yet tried but its rather good
you rarely get the chance to use it, but when you can…
although it is hard to see the difference between the two of them.
if you’re on a cel phone, you might not be able to tell. the second one has a stronger version of the scanline effect…
i see.. ok ok.. maybe i am not really that observant. ?
my art looks awful on a cel phone
ohh i don’t use mobile phone. your work is just fine.
