Midjourneys
Added 2022-08-16 07:47:18 +0000 UTCHey all. Hope everyone is good, and that my fellow Brits survived the heatwave. 🥵
There's a gluttony profile to come later this week, and the next chapter of TLWL is also nearing completion.
In the interim, here are some pics I "created" using Midjourney - a website that produces AI-generated images from text prompts. That is, you type some words and it creates images based on them.
It's really quite astonishing, despite only being in Beta! Without really understanding how the prompts work, I was able to generate some fun and impressively detailed images. My attempts to generate a version of Abby didn't turn out so well but I was able to produce an entire dynasty of plump and pouty blonde royalty - although some of my prompts involving fat women and cake did result in faceless multi-tiered monstrosities that look a bit like Dark Souls bosses.
I've put a link to my gallery below, which has all my images and also shows the prompts I used to create them. I've also linked a video that explains what Midjourney is and how to get started, in case anyone fancies a dabble.
Just a warning though: it is ridiculously addictive, constantly prompting you to create variations and "upscale" your creations. You get to create some images with the free version, but I very quickly signed up for the $10 per month plan and even then had frittered away my 200 image allowance within a few hours. 😄
Oh, and please do share any images and gallery links in the comments!

In other news, I'm going to start doing something I mentioned ages ago, which is to release shorter but more frequent updates to my main stories. This might mean that I have to go back and revise certain already-written scenes from time to time, when I think of better ideas later, but I think it'll be worth it, as I've been disgracefully slow at updating these stories!
See you again soon!
