It seems like everyone has heard of Midjourney by now. They make an amazing Discord bot that generates beautiful AI images from text prompts. And the images that it creates are stunning. You’re really only limited by your imagination, and because it’s all done in Discord chat groups, you can easily be inspired by others.
I decided to give Midjourney a quick try on something very simple: landscapes. I started with a prompt that just said:
desert landscape
and then I let the AI image bot do it’s thing. In about one minute, it had four choices for me.
Wow. Beautiful stuff! I decided to make higher resolution versions of all four of the options. I had to wait about another minute for each, but here’s how they all came out.
Desert Landscapes
These are all incredible images of a desert landscape and it only took the AI a few minutes to prepare high resolution versions of all four. I could print these out on canvases and hang them in my living room, they’re so beautiful.
I decided to try it out with a few other landscape themes, just for fun.
Jungle Landscapes
Lush and beautiful, don’t you think?
Mountain Landscapes
The thing is, these are all just really simple prompts. You can get much fancier with how you construct your prompts to get just about any style or look that you want. You can even write very specific prompts to create entire scenes. Half the fun is tinkering with your prompts and seeing the progress of the AI at work.
One example, here I decided to combine a desert landscape background with the image of a figure in the foreground. I wanted the figure to look a little bit like the actress Margot Robbie, but in an anime style. This was my prompt:
margot robbie anime standing in front of a desert landscape, hyper quality
And this is what I got back from the AI.
I could go on for hours and hours!
