I’ve found that when I’m faced with infinite possiblities, it’s difficult to think of new things, sort of a “paralysis through analysis” type of thing. I found this great site which lists out artistic techniques and a ton of other things to try out.

Andrei Kovalev’s Midlibrary 2.0

For example, I saw in the library how cool paper cut outs could be with Midjourney, so I tried paper cut out, female samurai and iterated a ton of times and got the image I’ve attached, and I adored how it turned out.

What are some of your favorite artistic styles which have teased out the best results from Midjourney?

    That link. You are a prince.

    E: I’m filled with the joy of fine tuning a SFW image. I’m so happy to not be trying to get Bing to create images of things covered in cum. Thanks!

        I’m working on a similar scam rn. I’m finding each element (like background, out of focus midground, foreground, borders, etc.) in almost random styles, the good ones go in a folder. I’ll go back later and group the images that could passably go with each other, generate any gap fills I need, and arrange it into a poster.

    You should follow midlibrary.io on instagram too. He posts a new style with examples every few days. I’ve found it very inspirational.

    For example he highlighted zhang kechun a few days ago and I’ve been having a lot of fun with that style.
