Much has been said about FLUX.1’s incredible typography skills, which open the door for many powerful business applications. However, we can’t forget about the cornerstone of AI image generation: art. Black Forest Labs’ revolutionary model has a very capable artistic side, which has proven popular with professionals and hobbyists alike. Check it out in action below!

FLUX.1: the Swiss army knife of AI art generation

FLUX.1 stands out as a remarkably versatile model, outpacing in quality even the most popular Text to Image artistic models like Midjourney. Its adaptability shines through its ease in tackling a wide array of styles (both classical and modern) and subjects. 

Unlike some less capable models that produce a telltale “AI look,”, FLUX.1 delivers results that feel authentic and hand-crafted. What’s more, its exceptional prompt following capabilities allow artists to create highly detailed illustrations that match their vision precisely. 

Whether aiming for hyperrealistic portraits or abstract digital art, FLUX.1 has the chops to bring your ideas to life with stunning accuracy. It comes in several distinct variants, including speedy [schnell] and detail-oriented [dev], all of which have much to offer.

Traditional art

FLUX.1 bridges the gap between timeless artistic techniques and cutting-edge technology. By emulating the nuances of traditional media, it offers artists new ways to explore classic styles without the constraints of physical materials. Here are a couple of the most popular examples!

Watercolors

FLUX.1 helps watercolor artists experiment with various compositions and color blends digitally. Whether aiming for soft transitions or bold contrasts, the tool allows for quick exploration of ideas, providing polished artworks that are ready for display or printing.

The generated pieces maintain the fluidity and texture characteristic of watercolor paintings. Artists can use these results as final pieces or as inspiration for physical creations, all without needing to touch a brush unless they want to.

"captivating, detailed watercolor of a stormy lakeside scene at dawn, with waters reflecting the surrounding trees and mountains, strong rain creating a dangerous visual"

"textured watercolor painting, visible brush strokes and paint blots, bouquet of wildflowers bursting with color, with vibrant splashes of yellows, purples, and reds. A forest glade in the background. The paint appears to bleed at the edges"

Oil paintings

Need the richness of oil painting without the wait time (and getting messy with actual paint)? FLUX.1 delivers completed pieces that emulate classical oil works' deep textures and subtle tonal shifts. 

Whether for personal projects or professional commissions, FLUX.1 ensures a high level of detail and finish without requiring time-consuming manual work.

"classic oil painting on textured canvas, thick paint brushstrokes, and layers visible, surreal oil painting of a massive whale swimming through space, its body glowing with soft blues and purples. It glides past distant stars and planets"

"vibrant and dramatic oil painting of a castle ablaze, with thick, dark smoke rising toward the sky. Embers and ash create a dynamic atmosphere of destruction. Layers upon layers of thick paint are visible on the textured, weathered canvas"

"old oil painting on textured canvas, thick paint brushstrokes and layers visible, dramatic oil painting of a stormy ocean, with waves crashing against jagged rocks. Dark blues and grays swirl together in thick, heavy strokes"

Sketches

If you're after sketch-style artwork, FLUX.1 is the right tool for you. It can effortlessly generate stunning pencil or charcoal pieces, no matter the subject: portraits, human figures in motion, still life, landscapes, architectural drawings, or complex scenes containing multiple subjects.

The results capture the immediacy and expressiveness of hand-drawn sketches, providing a great balance between spontaneity and detail.

"detailed, impressive charcoal sketch of a Gothic cathedral with its soaring spires, flying buttresses, and intricate stained glass windows. It includes elaborate façade with detailed tracery and ornate carvings, city in the background, and a stormy sky"

"a dynamic hand made rough pencil realistic sketch of a horse grazing in a meadow, its mane gently flowing in the wind. The sketch uses light and shade to create a peaceful and lifelike scene"

Digital art

From pixel-perfect retro graphics to sleek vector illustrations, FLUX.1 empowers artists to bring their visions to life with unprecedented speed and precision. See it in action below!

Pixel art

Spending hours painstakingly placing individual pixels to achieve that perfect look can be extremely frustrating. But fear not—with FLUX.1, generating even the most ambitious pixel art images becomes a breeze. 

Simply describe your vision—“16x16 pixel character in knight armor” or “8-bit desert landscape”—and receive a finished sprite or scene ready to be put on social media or used in video games or other creative projects. No need for manual adjustments; the output is polished, akin to the work of an experienced pixel artist.

"retro 16-bit simple pixel art, Minecraft-style underground cave, with dripping stalactites, glowing ores in the walls, and a small underground lake"

"16x16 pixel art, pixelated spaceship flying through an asteroid field, with glowing planets, beautiful nebulas and stars in the background. The spaceship is detailed, with a blue exhaust trail"

Anime art

FLUX.1 excels at creating stunning anime-style artwork, capturing the essence of this beloved Japanese art form. From character designs to dynamic action scenes, the AI can generate a wide range of anime-inspired visuals.

Fancy creating a character with the moody vibes of Tokyo Ghoul? No problem. How about a Gundam-inspired mech that looks ready to leap off the screen? FLUX.1's got you covered. Or maybe you're in the mood for an action-packed scene worthy of Dragon Ball? Prepare for power levels off the charts.

"Tokyo Ghoul anime style, tense scene in a dark, gothic alleyway. A ghoul character stands menacingly, staring intently, baring his teeth"

"gundam style anime digital art, industrial mecha repair garage, with old robotic suit being repaired by a mechanic. In the background, a futuristic cityscape"

"dragon ball style anime art, in a rugged, storm-swept landscape, two warriors clash with explosive energy. Lightning flashes across the dark sky as they trade blows, shaking the earth. Bold art style, with intense colors and sharp, dramatic lines"

Vector art

The AI's understanding of geometric shapes, clean lines, and color gradients makes it a real treat for vector artists. FLUX.1 can adapt to various vector art styles, from flat design to isometric illustrations, making it a key asset for crafting eye-catching digital illustrations.

"blocky vector digital art, portrait of a woman's face, composed of shapes in vibrant colors. Features are simplified into flowing lines and geometric patterns, with tones like pink, purple, and blue. The hair is represented with thick, swirling lines"

"blocky vector digital art, minimalist yet dramatic vector scene of sharp, angular mountains set against a deep red and orange sunset. The mountains are rendered in large, blocky shapes. Flora and fauna adds detail to the image"

"blocky vector digital art, stylized vector jungle scene with large leaves in bold colors like teal, orange, and deep green. Sharp lines and geometric shapes give the plants an abstract look, exotic bird adds pop of color against the background"

Artistic endeavors aside, FLUX.1’s prowess with vector graphics also has many practical uses; for example, it allows designers to prototype logo concepts or icons in a flash.

Concept art

FLUX.1 excels at quickly creating and iterating on character designs, environments, and objects, making it an essential tool for world-building in film, gaming, and graphic novels. This makes presenting multiple concepts to clients or creative teams stress-free, even when working on a tight deadline. 

AI is also a game-changer for solo projects, where creating hundreds or thousands of assets by hand is overwhelming. It streamlines the process, saving time and reducing the workload for go-getters handling everything on their own.

"video game item concept art, sleek, glowing energy sword with intricate circuitry running through the handle. The blade emits a blue light, and the design incorporates futuristic tech details"

"fantasy character concept art, male warrior wearing spiked armor with his hands resting on a large sword handle. The armor is decorated with runes and glowing gems. He has brown gloves, gashes on his face, short, rugged black hair, and glowing red eyes"

"rough, hand drawn location concept art, ancient ruin in desert, bizarre, monolithic structures with smooth, alien architecture. Strange symbols and carvings adorn the massive obelisks, and in the distance, a setting sun"

Tattoo designs

Tattoo artists and their clients can both use FLUX.1 to visualize ideas before committing. If you’re looking for a unique tattoo, you can experiment with different styles—black-and-grey realism, colorful geometric patterns, or minimalistic line work—by describing your idea and getting instant design options. That’s much faster and less costly than paying to have each idea (which might not even get used in the end) hand-drawn. 

"tattoo design project, delicate hummingbird in vibrant watercolor, with splashes of teal, pink, and purple. The wings appear to be in motion, with soft brushstrokes giving the tattoo a light, flowing feel, UHD, no backdrop"

"tattoo design, intricate linework, a black silhouette of a regal stag, with intricate flowers and vines woven into its antlers. The combination of nature and wildlife creates a strong, symbolic design, 4k"

"tattoo design, pointillism, volcano erupting, colorful, detailed shading"

On the artist’s side, FLUX.1 helps create mock-ups, refine designs, and offer a visual preview to clients. This allows them to explore variations and present several options before the needle even touches the skin. This reduces revisions and ensures both the artist and client are aligned on the final concept. Whether you're designing a custom sleeve or a small symbolic tattoo, FLUX.1 speeds up the creative process for everyone involved.

"tattoo design project, no backdrop, full sleeve, lackwork design mimicking fractals, with repetitive patterns spiraling and expanding along the arm. The intricate, swirling design creates a mesmerizing effect while maintaining a geometric structure"

Wallpapers

Creating wallpapers is quick and intuitive with flux.1. Whether you need a mobile or desktop background, you can generate endless custom designs by simply specifying the theme and style. For instance, you might prompt the tool with “wallpaper of abstract cityscape with neon lights for desktop” or “minimalist pastel forest for phone wallpaper”. 

"desktop wallpaper, digital art, forest scene, narrow ancient stone path in the center, leading through trees with lush foliage. Soft rays of sunlight filter through the canopy, casting a gentle glow on the path. The background includes a faint mist"

"stylized mountain range with snow-capped peaks glowing under a full moon. The gradient sky shifts from deep blue to pale violet, with large, sharp mountains adding a dramatic feel"

With FLUX.1’s ability to output in multiple resolutions, you can fine-tune your designs for any screen size. Among the options available in our AI Generator, you’ll find 16:9 and 9:16 aspect ratios, AKA the most popular resolutions for desktop and mobile wallpapers, respectively.

"phone wallpaper, mesmerizing view of a galaxy or nebula with swirling colors and star clusters. Incorporate bright, contrasting elements like distant galaxies or light bursts"

"phone wallpaper, dynamic mix of fiery reds and cool blues swirling together in large, flowing patterns"

Avatars

Avatars have become an essential avenue for self-expression, especially on social media, in multiplayer video games, or online forums. Thanks to FLUX.1, generating personalized images that perfectly suit your (or your character’s) personality and tastes is easier and faster than ever.

Whether you need a stylized cartoon face, an anime-inspired character, or something more abstract, you can effortlessly fine-tune the results to your liking. Just specify the exact style, colors, and background you want in the prompt. 

"fantasy-themed avatar: elf rogue with dark leather armor and a hood. The background features a dimly lit forest with shadows of trees. Hair is silver on the left and black on the right, she has a big scar on her cheek, and her eyes have a green glow

"avatar of a South Park character with a round face, large eyes, and a scowl. They wear a red hoodie and glasses. The hair is short, spiky, and green"
