Midjourney V4 (well, an “alpha” version thereof) is out! As if I didn’t already have enough to play with.
That house, floating above the sea with some balloons and things, is typical of the results of my old favorite “detailed surrealism” prompt. And this:
is from the prompt “neutral prompt”. We can tentatively conclude that it likes cute fantasy houses. :)
Here is a v4 (alpha) Yeni Cavan scene:
which is pretty cool.
In other news, I’m over 8500 words into NaNoWriMo 2022 as of yesterday (I haven’t written anything yet today). I’ve also make a cover page for the book, which links to the first Fling, and each Fling links to the next, so you can start at the cover, and go through the whole thing in the right order by just clicking obvious things. This may partially atone for posting it as a bunch of weblog entries in the first place. :)
I made the cover image in (obviously) Midjourney, and then fiddled a little and put on some titles (and my Government Name!) in the GIMP. I note that the skills of professional cover designers are subtle and profound; the titles on my cover are obviously in the wrong place, a professional designer would put them in places that were so obviously in the right place that one wouldn’t even notice, and I have no idea what makes the difference.
Okay! Now I am off to make the header image for Fling Seven, and start writing. I think it will be more of Alissa’s story.
