Sky Pig Observation Duties, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A giant pig made out of clouds is walking in the background of a sprawling blue grassy environment. There's a man in a sci-fi cowboy outfit looking in its direction, standing near a modified Yugo car with fitted flaps and a satellite dish. A hovering cat is floating near. The Long Exposure, a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A large meeting of clouds and waves in a blue watery environment. It is all merging into one another and there's a small photographer taking a photo in the middle of it. A small kitten is hovering nearby.

Relax your shoulders and neck.

Breathe awhile.

🔥 Warner Bros is suing Midjourney!🔥

They've cited mine and Gary's work like in the other suit, including that I was banned for criticizing the company.

This now means Midjourney is being sued by Warner Bros, Disney, Universal, and the class action from artists.

Let's gooo! 🔥
