A while back I tried to get MidJourney to produce some nice Chinese Watercolour / Ink, Wall Scroll style paintings, in v3.
The original results were a bit wishy-washy as I was a noob...
@midjourney_ai #aiart #aiartcommunity #digitalart #MidJourney #Chinese #Watercolour
🧵...
But the results improved greatly with some reference images for the #AIart to grab onto. However it was still missing something to make it feel like the real thing... And that Red Crowned Crane🤢 ...
🧵...
But recently @midjourney_ai made it possible to do 2:3 and 3:2 aspect ratios in v4, and I decided to re-visit the concept with v4.
It started out promising with almost exactly the same prompt and reference image. This time with a little --chaos added
🧵...
I was really excited and immediately tried to get a Crane in a couple of styles. The feet end up a little wonky, but that's easily fixable in post. Damn... quite impressive, v4
🧵...
It seemed to struggle a lot with "9 fishes and Lotus", merging fish, putting fish over lily pads, and giving them alien eyes! It rarely produced "9" fish.
#fish #koi #lily #lotus

I tried to get a nice waterfall painting, too, which it seems to really heavily prefer one contemporary style, and often looked like a Photo-of-a-painting;
#waterfall #pagoda #blossom
🧵...
But after some tweaks, and reference image swaps, I got a really nice set of waterfalls and pagodas;

I then tried something not very traditional; A lone wolf in the mountains;
🧵...
and wolf again with slightly different style;
#wolf #mountains
🧵...
and finally, I wanted to make a nice Tiger Silk Painting in the Snow. I had trouble getting the pose I wanted at first...
🧵...
But after some tweaks to "backside view walking away", it came up better. And someone taught me this negative parameter; --no watermark logo text border frame signature
🧵...
And last lot of a pouncing / roaring tiger.
