Cyberpunk L.A. – Environment Study for CD Projekt Red Art Test

This piece is an environment design study I created as part of an art test for an Art Lead position at CD Projekt Red.

The brief was to envision a cyberpunk version of Los Angeles, blending the city’s recognizable urban sprawl with a layered, high-tech dystopian atmosphere. I focused on contrasts—neon and grime, architecture and chaos, to capture the tone and density you’d expect in a futuristic L.A.

Beyond the visuals, the test was also about conveying narrative potential and spatial logic, both key to world-building at this level.

While it was a test piece, I really enjoyed diving into this challenge and building something that balanced storytelling, design structure, and mood.
