Cyberpunk Tribute Character Pack
A downloadable asset pack
Cyberpunk Tribute Pack
This will be a FREE add-on pack for my existing Retro Cybercity theme. These characters are based on the designs of popular characters from the genre and will eventually include cameos from more than just the Cyberpunk 2077 universe.
These are being released for fun, because I made them and I don't intend to sell them or infringe on copyright in any way. These are just for people who think they can use them for easter eggs, parody, or even as inspiration for their own designs.
This asset pack is for creators who are looking to try a cyberpunk or futuristic scifi aesthetic that takes cues from the analog era of the 1980s and 90s. Think Blade Runner or Ready Player One with an SNES/SEGA Genesis style color palette.
The pack is top-down perspective and scaled at 16x16. It can be used in various game development engines, including Unity and RPGmaker. The pack uses the palette BLKNX64 by @blkirl.
What Does It Include?
This pack CURRENTLY includes 15 Unique Character Sprites and Variants for some, each w/basic, 3-Frame Walk Cycles. Includes:
- Major Characters from Cyberpunk 2077
- Johnny Silverhand
- River Ward w/ variant
- Takemura w/ variant
- Judy w/ variant
- Panam w/ variant
- Rogue w/ variant
- T-Bug
- Jackie Welles
- Major Characters from Cyberpunk Edgerunners
- David Martinez
- Lucy
- Rebecca
- Maine
- Dorio
- Kiwi
- Faraday
Will There be Updates?
Yes. For now, I am working on including Cyberpunk 2077 universe characters.
I will eventually move on to other things and this should eventually become an all-inclusive pack of well-known characters from a number of Cyberpunk universes.
Upcoming (in some stage of completion):
- Terminator Franchise
- Blade Runner Franchise
- The Matrix Franchise
This is in addition to those original characters of mine, appearing in other packs, that are sometimes inspired by the full range of Cyberpunk character design across four decades. If you want characters that aren't based on copyrighted works, please have a look at those packs in the Retro Cybercity series.

I am open to suggestions and feedback and am quick to respond to comments here. I am always looking forward to seeing what YOU make with my assets.
I am best reached through email: hedgewizardgame@gmail.com or by commenting right here on itch. You can find me on tumblr where I post art almost daily, focused mostly on my indie game The Hedge Wizard. I make other art as side projects or for fun. Any time I really get a bug to make game assets outside of my own projects and commissions, I'll probably put them on itch! If you'd like to commission my work or are simply curious to see more of it, please check out my tumblr or my Artstation page. I appreciate feedback, so please feel free to comment.

Hi, can I use this for Stream Avatars for my live streams? I can also credit this page on my channels about area
I don’t mind and would definitely appreciate credit if only to get more eyes on my stuff. Haha. I’ve actually got some updates coming to this pack, including characters from The Matrix series. If you do wind up using these, let me know if there are any cyberpunk characters you think I should add to the pack. Cheers.
awesome! I actually sent you a email about buying and using all your cyberpunk character packs as well as the item pack. As stated before I’ll make sure you’re credited and link to your itchio or whatever as well if that’s that’s okay.
I’ll definitely keep suggestions in mind and adding matrix would be so cool. If this all works out and is successful with my few fans, would you also be interested in commission work later down the line?
Nice! I’d love to see what you do with the material! I appreciate any plug you wanna do for my stuff, it all helps. Also, definitely down for commissions if you need anything in the future.
Here's a Clip of the sprits added to my stream. My viewers absolutely loved them. I can't wait to see more of what you make in this theme, instant buy from me.
Wow. That’s very cool. Had a look and what a neat way to use sprites! I also noticed the sprite you made of yourself after the Retro Cybercity style. Nice work. Fits right in with the rest with that street ninja look!
I’m very happy to hear that your viewers liked these. I’m currently working on a “corpo” themed tileset and character set. I also have a merc/fixer/security/police character set in the works.
Here’s a sneak peek:
Oh and the vehicle pack I’ve been working on for ages. Vehicles are hard and I’m never happy! Likely I’ll have something new out by the end of this month.
When I release a new pack, I typically do a sale and bundle discounts. If you have viewers who are on a budget but are interested in grabbing this stuff, that would be a good time to do so and I believe you’ll get a notification when I do a sale or update. Up to you if you’d like to mention my work again in the future, of course.
Anyways, lovely to see what someone ends up doing with these assets. Truly special feeling. Let me know if you have any requests or ideas for future content.
Seeing you updated, I almost jumped up excitedly
I have stuff! My issue is I always try to have a “complete” pack ready and I’ve got like 5 in some state of near-completion but haven’t finalized any. I decided recently, partly thanks to your enthusiasm and patience, that I should just release what I got and add to it if I still have more I think I need to do.
It’s nuts, because that’s exactly what most asset-creators on itch do. I am just stubborn and old-fashioned in some dumb way though. Thanks again for sticking with me and reminding me there’s at least one person who is eager to see more of this stuff!
Okay buddy, now you’ve done it. I’ll be releasing the “Vendors” pack tomorrow and oh boy it’s a doozy. Decided to combine a few ideas into one pack and it’s gonna be pretty big, on par with the other ones I’ve done for interior (apartments) and exterior (streets).
Hope you’re ready for it. There’ll be a launch sale of course!
I really like your characters! Also the Panam jacket sprite is missing the jacket on the down facing sprite. It was an easy fix but I thought you should know
Oh man, that’s embarrassing. I really appreciate the head’s up and will fix that ASAP.
EDIT: Fixed. There was some weird stuff with that sprite in general and it should be good now. Please let me know if you notice anything else similar.
everyday I am waiting for your new assets (●'◡'●)
Haha sorry, sorry. Holidays, my friend! They’re coming. Thanks for your patience and I appreciate the reminders. This is a side-gig for me and it’s nice to know that people want this stuff, encourages me to stick with it!
Thanks replay.
I'm making a game using your assets.
Nice! I can see why you’re eager for more!
Also: nice use of the cleavage poster. I made it for a diff. project and then left it in the pack for the laughs.
Nice, 5 stars.
Annnnd thanks x3!
nice work!!!
Thanks! I hope people have a lot of fun with these. I’d love to see a Cyberpunk fangame made w/ my stuff!
My exterior packs have some options, but probably not enough for a whole city with good variety. Is there anything in particular you’d like to see? I want to do more exteriors but have been distracted by other stuff. You’ve seen the Streets Pack and the “Apartment Complex” pack does have some assets that can be used as “exteriors”. What’s missing? Maybe I can whip up something smaller and release it quick to help you out.
In case you didn’t know, the wall pieces in that pack are extendable. They are laid out as 9x9 tiles where each tile is 16x16 pixels. The upper row is the top of the wall, the bottom is the bottom, and if you try to extend them past 3 tiles high, it won’t look right. But the middle row is designed to be extendable as much as you want. So for example, the buildings in my mockup are not tall because I wanted to show as many pieces of the tileset as possible. But you can totally make taller buildings with the pack as is. If you own the pack, please try it and let me know if you run into problems.
I should do an additional mockup with a taller building to show what I mean! I should also add more exterior architectural details like cantilevers and struts, both of which are used a lot in games like Cyberpunk 2077 to give buildings a sense of scale.
Good notes. Thank you for being so interested and giving me feedback.
