This work is celebrated for its intricate storytelling, cyberpunk themes, and stunning visuals, influencing countless creators worldwide.

Otomo's career began in the 1970s, and he quickly gained recognition as a pioneer of the New Wave in manga and anime. Beyond Akira, he directed the animated film Steamboy and contributed to projects like Memories.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This model is a tribute to the artist and not an attempt to copy or reproduce his works. Flux1.D is unable to reproduce a graphic universe on which it was trained, the goal is solely to expand Flux's pictorial capabilities.

The idea is to use this model, combined with others, to create new styles of digital art expression. "Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed" is an apocryphal quote from Antoine Lavoisier. We are somewhat in this vision.
