Neon city anime style

Neon city is a night-time look: deep blues, saturated cobalt and magenta light sources, wet streets with reflections and a strong rim light on characters. Animey holds that cinematic contrast, and your characters’ identity, from shot to shot.

The Neon city look

Scenes live at night, lit by cobalt and magenta neon that bounces off rain-soaked streets. Characters carry a bright rim light against the dark, contrast is cinematic, and signs glow without readable text.

FAQ

Questions about the Neon city style

  • Does the Neon city style copy an existing anime?

    No. Neon city is a generic description of a look and never names a studio, an artist, a show or a character. Your characters and your world are your own.

  • Will my characters look the same in every Neon city shot?

    That is what they are designed for: the series’ Neon city style card and each character’s approved reference sheet are the references of every shot, which helps keep faces, outfits and colors consistent from scene to scene.

  • Can I move a series away from Neon city later?

    Yes. The series gets a new style card, and approved characters are redrawn in the new style and approved again.

  • What does a Neon city episode cost?

    The same as any other style: one credit per 5-second Standard shot. A 5-minute episode at Standard is about 60 credits.
