Wizards of the Coast card featuring Rodan and Godzilla by Greg Rutkowski.

This would make an awesome scene in a film, but would probably never be used. Kaiju battles tend to be staged near humans so there can be that added element of danger, of being trampled by god-like beings that don't even notice us because we're so small.

Secret pass - eagle nest by Grzegorz Rutkowski, 2017:

propaganda/about the artist: the perspective and the use of colour are great. there is an important article about this artist in Technology Review: https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/09/16/1059598/this-artist-is-dominating-ai-generated-art-and-hes-not-happy-about-it/ about how he (and artists who do similar works) are especially vulnerable to being exploited by generative AI bots which steal their works to respond to prompts. their work is honeslty underappreciated because of the rising use of AI and it saddens me!!

Archfiend of Ifnir (Magic the Gathering) by Sławomir Maniak, 2016:

propaganda: I don't play Magic, I just enjoy looking at the art, like look at this creature!

“Knight Study” Grzegorz Rutkowski 2017

Like I said last time, AI image generators cannot replicate an artist's style. They can only provide an approximation, and not really a close one, and here's the proof.

The basic prompt uses an embedding of Keira Knightley's likeness, "embedding:keirkni as soldier with short brown hair, wearing black and silver scifi combat armor, city ruins background, cinematic lighting, high definition, detailed", the seed is locked as 91958671445024, the data model is Dreamshaper V6.3 for StableDiffusion 1.5. For each artist, "(painting by x):1.2," was added to the beginning of the prompt, with the exception of Liefeld (for whom it's "(comic art by Rob Liefeld):1.2,") and Studio Ghibli (for whom it's "(anime art by studio Ghibli):1.2,"). Now let's see.

Greg Rutkowski - once again, the similarity to Rutkowski's work is somewhere between jack and shit. Maybe the colors are somewhere in the ballpark, but compared to several other concept artists included in the test but omitted from publication, it's fairly samey. Ask for Axel Torvenius (of the new Wolfenstein games' fame) or Adam Adamowicz (concept artist for Fallout 3), you'll get the exact same damn thing.

Zdzisław Beksiński - the only similarity to Beksiński's work is the stupid hat with antennas on it and the rifle tangled in cables. Turns out that Midjourney can imitate Beksiński better entirely by accident.

Simon Stalenhag - I swear it's the same seed and prompt. Apparently, art of Simon Stalenhag consists of itty bitty characters facing humongous ominous-looking machines. Which is not that far from the truth. Asking for Jakub Rozalski gave similar results, just with an itty bitty character facing humongous ominous-looking ruined skyscrapers.

Rob Liefeld - while we can't see the character's feet and the outfit has uncharacteristically few pouches, the anatomy is as wack as if the real Rob Liefeld drew it. Not to mention the faithfully off-model face.

Ralph McQuarrie - a few bits of armor nicked from Captain Phasma's closet are the only things hinting that this is supposed to be based on the work of original Star Wars concept artist.

Todd Lockwood - the man draws mostly fantasy, not science fiction, which would explain the weird studded leathery bodysuit. Aside from that, not really close.

Hajime Sorayama - well what a surprise: this version of the dataset finally has it coded that Hajime Sorayama draws chrome butts. So it's super-tight chrome all around. But then, the prompt explicitly describes the armor as black and silver.

Masamune Shirow - leotards and thigh-highs right off The Major are spot-on, and the entire thing has the feel of promo art for the GITS game from a few years ago. I also tried an "anime art" version of the prompt and it's pretty much the same, just with more anime-style face and the legs being a little more robotic.

Studio Ghibli - funny thing, that. You could guess the inspiration seeing the old wooden windows and fluffy white clouds, not to mention the character heavily skewed towards "kawaii potato", but aside from that, not even close.

If you are wondering: this was actually the firs time he compared a sketch to a final version. Since he was new to this type of comparison, he picked th earliest version he had available, which is the reason why his published rough version was that realised.

He later did another comparison that actually had a sketch: https://twitter.com/GrzegorzRutko14/status/1775938451302449649

“Rutkowski was initially surprised but thought it might be a good way to reach new audiences. Then he tried searching for his name to see if a piece he had worked on had been published. The online search brought back work that had his name attached to it but wasn’t his."
