Cyberpunk 2077: The Hand That Feeds
MILITECH INTERNAL NETWORK // ENCRYPTED COMMS
FROM: Office of the Regional Director, Night City Division
TO: Stout, Meredith (Senior Operations Manager)
SUBJECT: FINAL NOTICE: Operational Deficit & Fiscal Mismanagement
Stout,
Look at your metrics. You are bleeding Militech capital, and I am out of patience.
Your division is currently operating at a 340% budget deficit, a completely unacceptable hemorrhage of corporate funds. This financial disaster is a direct result of your unauthorized, frantic spending on unvetted street mercenaries and exorbitant bribes to local fixers. Outsourcing Militech operations to independent Afterlife trash isn't just a massive security breach—it is an expensive liability.
You claim these back-alley payouts are necessary to hunt down an internal mole, but I don't care about your corporate paranoia. I care about our bottom line. Militech is not a charity for the scum of Watson, and we are not funding your personal witch hunt.
Consider this your final notice. Your corporate accounts have been frozen, and your security clearance is suspended on a probationary tier.
You have 24 hours to balance your ledger and rectify this deficit. If you fail, you will not be reassigned, and you will not be demoted. The corporate clean-up crews will process you out of the building permanently.
Fix your numbers, or you will pay the balance with your life.

Haven’t got too much to say here to be honest. I enjoyed this set. It helped me finally break through my creative block I had. Is it my best? Nah. My worst? Nah. It’s a very good set that I enjoyed my time with.
I did try to work on some better poses particularly around the solo section with Judy which was the highlight of the set for me. It played into Meredith’s character and led to something different which I try to aim with every project. Nothing duller than just repeating the same stuff over and over.
I did have more planned with some doggo stuff, but I didn’t want to spend too long on this and risk burning out as I was nearing doing 200 images or more this month and that’s usually my limit. So I thought I’d end it on a high and leave it open for a sequel.
But with regards to the story and dialogue, I really dug this one. I feel like I played into the characters well and captured that Cyberpunk feel of the corps and their cutthroat style.
On a technical note I did use a tad different lighting style with less area and point lights but using more spot lights angled above the characters. It created some great shadows and added to the noir style I kinda went with.
So overall, another solid set that isn’t going to let the world on fire, but something that is still to a high quality with room for further exploration with spicy content.
