I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Lot's of "cyberpunk" and "cyborg" plus various animals. Had to paint over the hands and get rid of a lot of the noise. Redesigned a few things... especially towards the bottom.

The text is Ai, too. It makes tons of cool logos and things, but the letters spell gibberish, so i have to re-order them to make it make sense.

Photoshop. It has lot's of ways to cut things out, move things around and make things disappear, but i still have to clean a lot of it up the old fashioned way. A lot of the stray hairs on the edges are hand drawn.

Prompt: blue steel, zoolander 3, Harry Potter, lots of head nods amd blinking

Midjourney, or should I say the script writers on there, is amazing.

Adapt or die, burt. (Which you're doing, thanks for sharing).

Now what do we know of the rules about these publicly shared images being swiped and altered and used elsewhere?

Commercially as posters or even a logo?
Art framed and sold in a gallery?
