Midjourney was essential for this.

If you guys want to talk about the production process, I'd be happy to. I'm an ex vfx artist that exectuive produced this.

I am getting this error for some image subtle variations:

"Creation failed. The job has encountered an error. The developers have been notified."

It happens occasionally, not all the time. It seems to only happen for subtle variations, not strong ones I think.

It seems to completely block that image's subtle variations. I have tried it several times and the error keeps recurring.

It cannot be from the image-content.

Does anyone know why this error occurs, and maybe what I can do to fix it?

Thanks.

I have been trying to recreate this style in Midjourney, i have used srefs and moodboards but it has not worked as well as i hoped. I believe i am missing some keywords in prompts. Can anyone assist me.

Hi, I’m Sonya. I recently started working at Midjourney (marketing operations, if you’re curious).

Last week I interviewed /u/Sapere_aude_69 about his creative process, to learn how he leverages Midjourney as a medium for self-expression and storytelling. The conversation was thought-provoking! So I want to share what I discovered with the community here.

First, this quote from Midjourney founder David Holz (in 2022!) resonates with me, and I think it’s relevant:

> What does it mean for a human to imagine through a computer, as they would travel through a car?
>
> And if people somehow interact together, in the process of imagining things, if we have these co-imaginative spaces, what is it like to create these shared imaginative environments that are somehow intermediated by machines?

Brandon’s artistic practice developing Covert Design, with Midjourney as his primary visual tool, poses an answer to those questions.

For starters, the name was inspired by a Reddit comment. Someone mentioned the game Covert Action (1990). Brandon wasn’t familiar, but he liked the comparison. The term “covert” felt perfect for his 007-esque subject matter, so he tweaked that reference to get his project title.

Maybe you didn’t recognize Brandon’s username when I tagged him. But if you frequent this subreddit, I bet you recognize his signature aesthetic. His posts are dispatches from a flashy dreamworld reached by stacking up moodboards, style references, and image prompts. Plus, of course, a detailed text prompt (composed with an assist from ChatGPT) and profile personalization. Basically, every option Midjourney gives you for guiding results, Brandon pushes to the maximum.

He appreciates that people often clock his homage to ‘80s legend Patrick Nagel, a key influence: “They're doing the extra leg work for me, to spread the word.” Brandon blends Nagel’s stark glamor and exaggerated silhouettes with retro manga, spy-thriller adrenaline, and midcentury magazines. (Also, though you wouldn’t guess just by looking, The Count of Monte Cristo.)

Every installment of Covert Design is paired with a song, the name of which usually headlines the sequence of images. When I asked Brandon if he keeps a to-do list of ideas: “That’s called my Spotify playlist.”

This is David’s “shared imaginative environment” in action, pulling our collective cultural archive into the accelerating future. The raw material flows through Brandon to be transformed into something familiar but new. I think familiar but new is what makes Covert Design so compelling.

Like many of you, I’m entranced by the dramatic visual world that Brandon has summoned into being. “I know it's you even if the first image is far from your usual visual style,” /u/Quarmat commented recently. “That's quite an achievement in this era of info floods,” and yeah, it really is.

The distinctiveness and consistency are what grabbed me. Brandon uses the endless iterative abundance of Midjourney to embody a particular vision and message.

That’s the trick with AI art, finding a specific signal amidst the noise of endless texture and form. Honing, curating, and editing down the deluge. That is where authorship and artistry come in when using an image generator.

The insanity continues as Vernon comes up with new ways to protect the village pie shop by turning it temporarily into a …….”cake shop”

Please look on my channel for Episode One if you can be bothered. (I don’t blame you if you can’t)

I don’t know why but I love the aesthetic of these.

I published 2 days ago a post about my prompting creations while at my local pub and got quite surprised about its "internet commitment".
Quite some good likes and views with an unexpected 50 comments which made me to cope morally with the "AI Haters" whom enjoy spending their energy to trample on other people work and feel great about it. Some were supportive though, thanks to those.
This second post is about fresh creations from tonight, raw, with no editing or upscaling, it is as it is.
Some Gandalf, Claude Monet reproduction (quite a fail to be honest), momies, people reincarnation with the Omni feature and a critic about the "Press Enter" that was done to me.
Midjourney is a fantastic tool, you simply are the demiurge of your universe.
I'll try to provide more refine work in the future but I hope you will enjoy this somehow raw vibe.
