/ OVERVIEW

Our FX heavy, anime inspired hype piece showcases the elemental capabilities of Azuki's season 2 NFTs. We aimed to go old school with our approach to character colors, drawing inspiration from cinematic masterpieces like Akira and beloved Ghibli classics. Our goal was to create character palettes that seamlessly blended with their respective environments.

A person wearing a dark outfit and headphones performs an acrobatic move in mid-air, surrounded by swirling blue energy and clouds. The scene is dynamic and filled with motion, suggesting a high-intensity action sequence.
