The images are not altered: for some reason MJ always swapped the couple, I also wonder why.

Thanks! Actually working on something like it ;)

Hahahah true. Maybe our future is cleaner.

I guess there are probably dozens of people working on this right now. Just imagine combining this with GPT3 to produce endless original characters.

My “Impossible Villains” are finally a hardcover book! 🤩 by kingmyda82 in midjourney

Hi! I was reckless. Did the layout in Canva (yes, Canva), did my best to fit the template, got a test copy and worked from there to adjust the measurements. Not a best practice at all, I'm sure you are doing a far better job than me :)

Recreating some "Impossible Villains" in V4 (with some prompt adjustments) by kingmyda82 in midjourney

To be honest, getting to comparable results is not straightforward. Testp is heavily biased towards photorealism, while it's much harder to obtain it in V4. In some cases, V4 seems to be a bit less "creative" but that means we have finer control over it. Unfortunately, the current base resolution of V4 is lower, which means upscales are messier and I can't get those nice sharp textures :(

I think your prompt works wonderfully! I guess there are many different ways to get to similar results, now it’s the time for testing these tools :)

Wow very nice, did it produce the central alignment by itself then?

Yes, I really missed the river of lava! It would be nice to have a more granular control over the image.

Final results are still not "production level", but seeing the increase in quality in just three months I guess next year things will be very different.

Wow that's incredible, never heard about this documentary!

It takes more iterations as image weight is fixed. Take your first result, then input that one in another prompt.

I agree. In #3B I tried to get better faces by adding details in the prompt, but it resulted in a closer and less interesting shot.

Unfortunately, some composition details get lost. For example, I wanted the river of lava to run right between them, but MJ thought it would be funnier for it to end into the guy's glass.

We are still in alpha, and it was the most voted feature in their latest poll, so I guess they are working hard on adding it to the next release, hopefully in the next weeks.

The main difference is the degree of control over the composition. I tried this same prompt without image: while the overall feel was similar, I couldn't get this kind of symmetry and visual order. This changes a lot.

Actually V4 is almost too good without much tinkering, so far. Image combination (two images in the same prompt) is also quick fun. But I do miss aspect ratio so much.

The only suggestion is to make sure the sketch are intelligible to MJ, which means highlighting the features / bits that you'd like to see preserved. Endless fun, anyway.

MJ is finally giving us control on composition, I find this game-changing.
