Ridleyville on White Dragon Cut

The huge pyramids towering in the back of the city area and the huge buildings towering above them are on the original illustration of Syd Mead.
You are not able to see this landscape on the film of Blade Runner. however you can see a bunch of huge buildings on “Blade Runner Black Out 2022”.

The center building, which sits in the middle of Ridleyville, has an impressive four LCD panels in the front.
There is the Snake Pit in the back right and the Chew’s Eye Factory in the back left.
In the movie, the four LCD panels in the front were replaced with neon signs.

There are two objects that glow green on the left side of the Center Building.
However, the green objects were replaced with “TOSHIBA” and a Chinese sign board in the movie.

The Animoid Row is in the back of the Center Building.
The characters drawen on the arcade are English characters in Syd Meade’s original illustrations, however they are replaced with Japanese in the film.
Also, there are variety of sign boards of Japanese and Chinese on the wall of building in the film version.
In the White Dragon Cut, I have made modeling of building based on Syd Mead’s illustration, and made the sign borads based on the film.

You can see the object that projects characters in front of the Chew’s Eye Factory, however it was replace with a defferent one in the film.

In the prototype ANACO MART drawn by Syd Mead, You can see the central part of building is set back and one step higher. However, it was changed to a simple box shape in the film.

You can see that the movie version ANACO MART is a reproduction of only the central part of the Syd Mead’s prototype.
The characters on the sign boards are “香水 (Perfume)”, “女の衣類 (Women’s clothing)”, “ブティック (Boutique)” and “サロン (Salon)”.

The entrance to the underground mall drawn by Syd Mead has an impressive yellow object looks like curved LCD panel in the front.
Unfortunately, this illustration was not reproduced in the film. however you will be able to see this scene on the White Dragon Cut.

Some building illustrations, whitch are drawn by Syd Mead, have the decorations with a blue glowing slit on the side of the arcade of the building. the building is where Decard and Guff took off from the Ridleyville in the beginning of the film.
In the film, The decoration was changed to a glowing whole decoration rather than the slit.
Both of the Syd Mead vesion and the film version are side by side on the Ridleyville on White Dragon Cut.

The building where Deckard and Guff landed to investigate the Leon’s Hotel is as same as the building where Deckard was hanging on the rooftop.
This building was reproduced almost as drawn by Syd Mead in the film.

Three cylinders with a dancer are in front of the snake pit.
Syd Mead’s illustration also includes a different shape of the cylinder that was not reproduced in the film.

A cylindrical stage is set up in the center of the floor of the Snake Pit, and the counter and seats are arranged around the stage on the Syd Mead’s Illustrations.
