Great White Sharks In Alpine Meadows - Midjourney
While I was trying out Midjourney V6, I created some weird AI-generated shark art, a long-standing idea I never executed in Photoshop. Midjourney made it quick and easy, producing tons of images rapidly. Such strange, exciting times!
Below are some of these AI-generated images, the prompts I used, and insights on prompt structuring. Whether this is the best way to structure prompts in V6, I'm not entirely sure yet. But as long as I'm happy with the results, that's what counts.
Feel free to ask questions, use these prompts for your own projects, or whatever you like. It’s all good.
