Those were done in Midjourney. I mostly work with it since I have a subscription. If you like, I can put together a quick guide on how I create photorealistic images like this. There are a number of tricks involved (like specifying particular camera types, film stocks, exposure times, and color spaces). I recall I specified a very shallow depth of field for that one. My experience is that you get better results the more you know about the medium you are working with. For example, most people won't notice this detail, but the aspect ratio coreesponds to the classic IMAX 19:10 format (rather than the more common 21:9 cinematic aspect ratio).
One useful trick - especially for extreme close up shots - is to specify imperfections. For example, the image below used the terms "realistic skin pores, blackheads on the nose". It's not glamorous but it often works...

Tommi (Human Rogue Scout) is attacked by a giant rat. Okay, he looks like he's petting it. And this is the LEAST cute rat out of al my options. The rest were adorable, and Tommi looked like he was happy to see them.

Great, thanks! And I've noticed that with tails too... doesn't know what to do with them in spacesuits, armour, or anything else. But removable sheaths make lovely sense for furgonomics purposes.

I haven't tried Midjourney yet, but if you could put something together (no rush at all!) that would be awesome.

One thing I'm discovering is that the more you understand about the details of the techniques you are trying to use, the better your results are going to be. There's a common misconception that with AI, you can put in a simple prompt and get a masterpiece with little to no effort. But if you are trying to produce photographic images (for example), it really helps to have a good grasp of photography. I'm trying to capture a cinematic feel, so I've been on a crash course into cinematography. Simply knowing things like different shot types and filter types enables you to achieve better results. It the same with other kinds of artwork too. If you want to produce a sketch, don't try to imitate the style of an existing artist. Instead, learn the types of pencils and paper used. Study the drawing techniques your favourite artists use. Learn the technical names used to describe them and use those names in your prompts....
