Describe Midjourney

I got back on Midjourney again on March 1, 2024 and used the "/describe" function in Discord.  I uploaded some of my old images -- and fed the four resulting text descriptions as prompts to Midjourney to generate new images.

The text described my original image on the left -- and the best Midjourney result from the four different prompts is on the right (which looks nothing like the original image):

prompt: "an illustration of a horse with her tail curled,
 in the style of experimental structures, pencilsteampunk,
 canon ae-1, tangled nests, expressive figure studies,
 goerz hypergon 6.5mm f/8, skull motifs --ar 62:69 --v 6.0"




prompt: "an old drawing of a giraffe and some bones,
in the style of tony cragg, dynamic figure studies,
 arthur lismer, aerial view, ultrafine detail,
 pensive poses, felicien rops --ar 62:45 --v 6.0"




I then used the text from all four suggestions that Midjourney gave me from the image on the left:

prompt: "drawing of a human figure, in the style of playful distortions,
 free-flowing surrealism, jacek malczewski
distorted bodies, carving, rough clusters,
 antoine verney-carron a drawing made from two separate pieces of tissue,

 olympus om-1, undefined anatomy, bentwood, 
trompe-l'œil illusionistic detail drawing of a nose in a paper book, 
in the style of energetic movement, tangled forms,
 unconventional poses, distorted bodies, slumped/draped,
 trompe-l'œil illusionistic detail,
 mythological realism an old drawing of a giraffe and some bones,
 in the style of tony cragg, dynamic figure studies, arthur lismer

prompt: "an old drawing by a very young artist,
 in the style of ghada amer, fragmented figuration,
 david hettinger, precise linework,
 letras y figuras, whiplash curves, giorgione --ar 80:69 --v 6.0"




prompt: "the lone person in the drawing,

 robotic motifs, distorted and exaggerated forms,
 carving, samikshavad,
 ivan fedorovich choultse, disfigured forms --ar 71:78 --v 6.0"





prompt: "woman with hands in clay sculpture, in the style of bold,
 cartoonish lines, infinity nets,

 in the style of pointillist dots and dashes,
 conceptual embroideries, pensive poses,
 focus on joints/connections,
 manticore, ultrafine detail, cornelia parker --ar 125:77 --v 6.0"





prompt: "a drawing of a man with a beard, in the style of contax t2,
 Krrrl, meticulous pointillism, john lowrie morrison,
 slumped/draped, damien hirst,
 shot on 70mm --ar 128:115 --v 6.0 - Remix (Strong)"





prompt: "sketch, old man with glasses and tattoos,
 by tom honk, in the style of intricate psychedelic landscapes,
 minoan art, webcam photography,
 western zhou dynasty, burne-jones,
 linear patterns, ornate complexity --ar 65:59 --v 6.0"




Midjourney was resisting my style. And after all -- Style is Content.  I felt like I had a harder time getting something that I like now, versus last year.  That is why I used the "/describe" approach this time.
