I've been having lots of fun with Midjourney, the incredible AI that produces images out of description prompts. It's a fantastic tool to quickly create what's in your mind, and I've found that Midjourney is particularly artistic and creative, and its compositions are generally beautiful.
In this post, I decided to take the iconic Scarred Llama from the #Splinterlands Untamed series and reimagine them it with Midjourney's help. Let's first take a look at the original:
When using Midjourney, the key is to specify the primary elements you want to retain before applying a style. In this case, I decided to focus on "angry scarred llama", "smiling cactus", "pink and teal", and "crystals floating above head". You'll see that in many cases the AI took only some of the elements, and it mostly struggled with the idea of a "smiling cactus". Nevertheless, the results were very interesting... have a look and let me know in the comments which one is your favorite!
