Overview

This F1D LoRA strives to reproduce the artistic style of Kilian Eng, a Swedish visual artist known for his intricate, highly detailed, retro-futuristic sci-fi illustrations. Working under the name 'DW Design', he creates art prints and posters for major clients like HBO, Wired, Warner Bros, and The New York Times. His work blends dreamlike surrealism with physical realism, drawing inspiration from artists like Syd Mead and Moebius. Eng's focus on light and color brings a fantastical, alternative reality to life in his pieces. He regularly releases personal and commissioned works, including prints for video games like Castlevania and Shadow of the Colossus.
