A couple entries are really good, but don't really capture the cyberpunk feel.

thank you for introducing me to the best theme yet jal, would have missed it otherwise.

Holy crap, I'm testing Perciv@l's new theme and this news item fits perfectly...*...walks away quietly
Larwick (Level 8 Shodan) at 9/3/2007 5:58:27 PM
Can't wait to see the entries. I would try something if i wasn't so busy.

Good catch soda. It was "Parallel Worlds". 
Squirrelsquid (Level 4 Mercenary) at 9/3/2007 2:55:23 PM
this is pretty interesting, I've never done any real fullscreen scene...I might join this one if I got the time.

Yeah, inkspot/wolverine have the right idea... with the right composition your working canvas area doesn't have to be that big.
Wolverine (Level 8 Brigadier General) at 9/3/2007 9:12:03 AM
Inkspot's got a good point there. A moody dark cyberpunk look is a perfect setting to getting away with using a lot of empty black areas for 'atmosphere' if done well.
Metaru (Level 8 Brigadier General) at 9/3/2007 8:58:14 AM
this's MY challenge.just adding another great example of a cyberpunk game called "SNATCHER" <3
inkspot (Level 4 Button Man) at 9/3/2007 7:38:55 AM
Heh, you can always leave half of the size empty, cover it up with black or something :D
soda (Level 9 Vice President) at 9/3/2007 7:12:51 AM
This sounds great, but yes, again, and again, the size is pretty big. 
Skull (Level 11 CEO) at 9/3/2007 5:37:34 AM
I reckon I might give this a go.. but man, that canvas size is huge!
Stickman (Level 4 Deputy) at 9/3/2007 5:17:13 AM
I love these pallete type exercises(something I need), but that canvas size is really going to be tight on time. I also hope to join.
Gas 13 (Level 9 Federal Agent) at 9/3/2007 4:22:03 AM
Sounds like a really interesting challenge. Hope to join. I just wish the size limit wasn't that huge for more submissions.
