Wanted to replicate the golden age of anime with a modern twist so this is my spin on the 90s and early 2000s anime. My process was basically creating images with FLUX, then running them through img2img and then fixing up the images in Photoshop and adding elements from images I made with midjourney. The last step was blending it all together and doing some color grading and effects like grain and chromatic aberration and that glow from the 90s anime. The result is the retro anime style but with high fidelity and clean lines of newer anime. This is still a work in progress so expect a V2 in the future. As always have fun generating!
