Building a Universe: My Journey with AI and Intergalactic Storytelling thought images
I’ve always believed that the best stories within still images bring a world of discovery because you have to stand still and take a moment to process. I decided to take a leap into a new kind of creative workflow, merging my imagination with the power of Gemini Nano Banana to build an intergalactic universe from the ground up.
My goal is to move beyond just writing and into the realm of cinematic world-building, using text-to-image generation to bring my stories into the “real world” through high-fidelity visuals.
Character creation
I spent time refining his look balancing the rugged texture of a seasoned explorer with the sleek, high-tech aesthetics of a distant future. This character is more than just a prompt; he is the lens through which I’ll be exploring this new universe.
My final choice
Captain Flux
They call me Flux. It’s not the name my mother gave me, but in this line of work, names are just like coordinates—subject to change. I’m an independent contractor, which is a polite way of saying I’m broke enough to do the dangerous stuff and skilled enough to survive it.
I don’t fly under a flag. I don’t salute an emperor, and I definitely don’t join unions. My loyalty belongs to The Void Runner and the fuel tank that keeps her moving. One week I’m hauling rare spices out of the Dune Sea; the next, I’m hunting a bounty head through the acid rain of Vogsphere. It’s a big galaxy, filled with desperate people, corrupt systems, and endless horizons. I’m just the guy drifting through the middle of it all, looking for the next payday.
