The project took about six months of on-and-off work after roughly a year of studying Blender, drawing inspiration from prior Akira-themed 3D works by Ash Thorp, Zaoeyo, and YakovlevArt. Several related Akira-inspired art pieces and a cyberpunk games list are also referenced. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
