Started with a sketch from a reference image, pen and brush tip marker on paper, and then #Midjourney using it's --cref function, and then #DrawingbotV3 for editing the line work and CMYK conversion. Then Magnific..

"Generate a bunch of free images and accounts, have them buy and boost one another in perpetuity, inflate metrics so that the “art” gets boosted by DeviantArt and reaches real humans, then watch the money pile up from DeviantArt revenue-sharing programs. Rinse, repeat."
