Liked the crispy look on the buttons also with a nice subtle gradient!
Recently I started exploring more Gothic-inspired web aesthetics and darker visual directions.
Most of my work is usually connected to modern business websites or product-focused interfaces, so working with a completely different mood felt refreshing. The whole process forces you to think differently as a designer. You stop relying on the same visual habits and begin focusing much more on atmosphere, typography, scale, visual pressure, and the feeling the layout creates while scrolling.
I think this is one of the reasons why it’s important to occasionally step outside of the usual “safe” styles. When you work only with standard startup aesthetics for too long, your visual thinking can become predictable without you even noticing it.
Even though projects like this are rare in actual client work, I still enjoy exploring them from time to time. They help me experiment more freely and sharpen my understanding of visual storytelling and art direction.
Curious what you think about this direction.
This stands out 🔥 What inspired this direction
A cinematic sci-fi world built from a single moment of tension: two figures, one planet, one ship, and a beam of cosmic energy tearing the sky apart.
A small robot with glowing orange eyes crouches near ancient crystal formations. A neon-armored warrior watches from the shadows. Above them, a sleek warship cuts through the purple atmosphere, leaving smoke trails behind. Nobody moves. Everything feels like it's about to.
The deep violet planet surface, rainbow energy beam, halftone grain texture, and neon orange-cyan armor accents create a world that feels lifted straight out of a 90s sci-fi comic but rendered for 2025.
Really proud of how the contrast between the warm neon accents and the cold purple atmosphere creates tension without a single word of dialogue.
Would love to hear your thoughts. 👀
