Top 10 Cyberpunk + Sci-Fi Styles

Today's update is devoted to the best artists to turn to when you work on Cyberpunk or Sci-Fi themed art. We have eight illustrators (one of them in --niji!), a painter, and even a photographer for you to try!

Chesley Bonestell

Chesley Bonestell

American space artist and architect Chesley Bonestell (1888-1986) is considered one of the most important space artists of the 20th century. He created many illustrations of space art and architectural perspectives, and many of them were used in books, magazines, and films, such as "Destination Moon" and "When Worlds Collide."

Bonestell's Midjourney style is a vivid and painterly illustration filled with the spirit of interplanetary exploration. Prepare for vast otherworldly landscapes, elaborate spaceships, and brave discoverers as main heroes.

He has been nominated several times for the Eisner Award and won the award for best penciler/inker in 1996.

Jae Lee's Midjourney style is best characterized as dark, moody, and atmospheric. It generates quick strokes and uses shadows, contrasts, and deep blacks to create a sense of mystery and drama. A perfect style for sci-fi posters!

Richard Misrach

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.

So why did we pick him for this Top? Just look at what he can do with post-apocalyptic Cyberpunk and Sci-fi!

Jakub Rozalski

Jakub Rozalski

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.
