A foursome of Jimbert* portraits courtesy of Midjourney. After almost a year, I broke down and got a subscription for myself.
The prompt:
young jimmy page and young robert plant, sleeping, 1970, recording studio, muted colors, tan, blue, gray, cinematic lighting, pen and ink, intricate line drawings, by Yoshitaka Amano, Ruan Jia, Kentaro Miura, Artgerm, detailed, trending on artstation, hd, masterpiece
The idea was, I wanted a generated pic of Jimmy and Robert circa 1971, sleeping off their exhaustion in a recording studio after an all-night session. The first pics I got, from Magic Prompt, were promising, if distorted. But the same prompt in Midjourney gave me two generic prettyboys with just the hair color differing, no recording studio, no 70s clothing, no distinctive facial features. And I had to say “young jimmy page and young robert plant” because without the “and”, using just a comma, gave me one prettyboy who combined the features of both. Overall, not quite what I was after.
Going over to Starry AI using a similar prompt gave me these guys. OK, there’s some kind of a console there, but also a long blue pillow which is out of place and enough anatomical oddities to warrant head-scratching, like the muscles in Robert’s right arm and the exaggerated eyelids of both men. They’re both a little Tamara Lempick.
I’d say fan artists have nothing to worry about.
