Australian comics artist, illustrator, and toy designer (!) Ashley Wood (b. 1971) is famous for "Popbot," "World War Robot," and "Zombies vs. Robots" series.

Suggested by Midlibrary user

Jakub Rozalski (b. 1981), also known as Mr. Werewolf, is a Polish digital painter famous for his fantasy and science fiction illustrations, particularly his "1920+" series, which is set in an alternative history world where the technology of the 1920s is combined with giant robots and machinery. Apart from producing personal series, Rozalski worked on various video game concept art, book covers, and posters.

The Midjourney version of Jakub Rozalski is painterly, detailed, and realistic, with a focus on landscapes and context, architecture, and machinery. It often uses a cold color pallet with occasional splashes of warm hues. Great style for creating massive-scale fantastic worlds filled with nostalgia and futurism.

A surprise appearance on this list is the American photographer Richard Misrach (b. 1949), considered one of the most important contemporary landscape photographers. He is best known for his large-scale color photographs of the American West, particularly the deserts of the Southwest. His work often explores the relationship between the natural landscape and human intervention, with a focus on the impact of development and climate change.
