Ai Exploration Part 1

 I have been wanting to journal my entry into AI artwork, and now, I finally can. In school, we journaled a lot. It was helpful to reflect on what we made and keep notes if we wanted to refer back to our thoughts.

But where do I start? Dalle-2 vs Midjourney?

I wanted to start with Midjourney, as there are only 25 minutes of rendering time.

My first prompt was: /imagine prompt: photorealism of full body editorial fashion In the style of Nick Knight :: red headed model fisheye lens –no defocus –hd –quality 2

I am wondering if I made a mistake and mistook photo realism for something it is not.

I changed my prompt to: /imagine prompt: photograph of Grunge fashion photorealistic dramatic lighting –no defocus –hd –quality 2 –ar 2:3

I guess that is kind of grungey? But it’s very cartoony. I am quickly burning through my free minutes, but I wanted to remove photorealistic and switch to landscapes.

/imagine prompt: photograph of vibrant Landscape of an alien planet, purple grass and dark thunderstorms in the horizon –no defocus –hd –quality 2 –ar 2:3

I wish I remembered to change the resolution from 2:3 to 3:2, but otherwise, it looks pretty baren. It’s also not very vibrant.

/imagine prompt: photograph of A woman looking out a high window to see a very detailed science fiction city with lots of neon lights –no defocus –hd –quality 2 –ar 16:9

This looks a lot less realistic than what I’m seeing, so I decided to copy a prompt instead of trying to make my own (modifying it to my own vision)

/imagine city of the future, many skyscrapers, blade runner style, hyper-realistic, octane render, realistic, real, street, rain, beautiful girl standing on a rooftop, pink hair, cinematic, 8k, very intricate, 80’s, night

Interesting. It seems to respond to less sentence, more keywords.

/imagine white studio, hyper-realistic, octane render, realistic, real, street, rain, close up of woman’s face, brown hair, cinematic, 8k, very intricate, 80’s, night

Closer. I was hoping for a wet in studio look.

/imagine prompt:white studio, hyper-realistic, octane render, realistic, real, grunge woman’s fashion, brown hair, cinematic, 8k, very intricate

I am running low on minutes, so I’m just gonna try something.

/imagine prompt:ethereal, floating woman holding a book, spirit, detailed cloak, magic, 8k, very detailed, 

I really like the bottom right. Midjourney has an upscale feature, which I haven’t tried yet. I can make 4 images left, let’s see if that will upscale.

forgotten ruins, highly detailed, sorrow, ugly –ar 2:3 –quality 2
