MARK’S MIDJOURNEY (2)

By: Mark Frauenfelder
August 1, 2022

HILOBROW friend Mark Frauenfelder has been experimenting, recently, with Midjourney, an AI-generated art-making tool in closed beta. We are pleased to share with you a few of his creations.


It helps to understand Midjourney’s limitations. It makes things look monstrous by default, so I often prompt it with descriptions of macabre scenes.

“tintype photo swarm of black ghouls above a farmhouse”

“tintype sepia leering golem”

I generated dozens of these grim little leather and clay robot soldiers. I like to imagine that they were conjured by a wizard waging war against another wizard.
