For a few days, I have been battling Midjourney to 'generate' some pictures from the fantasy battle. Only between high Elves and Undead, I managed to come close but not all the way.
But Pauldrons of this size make little sense if you don't wear anything else and his weapon looks like it could be used for the practice among young nobles. And Dark Elves are nowhere to be found either.
Midjourney has been perfect in focusing on a single living subject and making awesome backgrounds. But I want battlegrounds!
Little experimentation with a starting formation of how one side could look somehow spawned an Orc. No, starting picture likely won't work great.
So I tried to dilute the power of my main keywords by specifying the background: vindictivolence:: pyrogenous::1.5 This made the work more enjoyable overall.
It looks like a battle. Especially the background is improved, it catches the atmosphere of a heated siege. Three of them even included a castle in the far background. The Elves are probably defending it.
Again, Midjourney demonstrated splendid programming and gave me many awesome paintings in minutes. Blur is a huge problem. To some extent, I can fix it with my other instruments, but did you find an effective keyword that makes outputs sharper?
--no blur seems to do nothing and sharp::3 had quantifiable results, but may have caused a loss of some detail in the background. What are your tricks?
I am still unhappy that the Elves are not available. So - any suggestions?
A little glitch
Now that you have been paying attention, I will reward you with two dubious pictures that are of many from the prompt undead::5 noble:: amaranthine:: senectuous:: pyrogenous:: warrior::2 realistic:: --ar 3:2 --s 900 --no blurr --q 2
This was supposed to be an ugly Undead. But Midjourney's language model is by far inferior to that of ChatGPT and often understands words wrong.
"Senectuous" is an obscure word for "very old". With a little bit of creativity, you will be able to fill in what Midjourney likely interpreted it as!
All pictures marked with "Edited" were slightly altered to the original output. Only slight modifications though.
