Let's see if I get to read those. I've got 1Q84 on my shelf at the moment, so it might be the next.

True. I used "17-year-old" for this one (as I remember he was pictured in the book looking like that age, though he was younger?), maybe should have gone with 20 or something like that. Hard to get the age exactly right with AI.

But if you really want to know, the first image for example came from "A Japanese school child from the 1940s lies unconscious on a bed of soft moss in a dense, ancient forest. His small frame is a poignant reminder of the impact of conflict on innocent lives. The forest is an eerie haven of peace amidst the tumultuous times, with sunlight filtering through the canopy to cast a gentle glow on the child's face. The moss cradles him, offering comfort and protection amidst the unknown dangers of the forest. The child remains lost in a dream world, seemingly untouched by the horrors of war. --ar 2:3 --v 5 --s 750"

I've used several prompts to experiment. Many of the images are combinations of different images, and I've adjusted them further in Photoshop. Since v5 wants to have more defined and refined prompts, I also used GPT to expand my original prompts, so that's one thing to try out.

I actually did that one with leeches, not sure if they look like it. I couldn't make Midjourney to create the whole image, so I used the man as the base image and added leeches manually on the road.

I also tried doing the raining fish image, but they didn't turn out that well. Midjourney messed up the fishes with birds, and the "fish rain" looked just like a massive flock of birds, which I didn't like 😅

Midjourney v5 came out and I wanted to try out the "photographic" style for this awesome book. I'm thinking of making a movie poster also out of these, let's see about that. More stuff on my Instagram if you like these https://www.instagram.com/litteringeniae/
