With version 7 of Midjourney having a completely different sref library (“–sv 7” vs “–sv 4” for the prior versions), I’ve jumped to a totally random location (69000) and curated the 69000-69999 series ending up with 87 unique style references. sref 69000
For the most recent set of character posters (for NYT’s “Oliver” musical), I used the following three style references (–sref 69085::2 69377::2 69244::1) from this series to produce a consistent set of posters (3 of 12 shown here).
sref 5000 usually creates a vector type graphic with a lot of purple aspects to it. With people or some objects it will often be more of a picture/photo with an arabesque/swirly purple design somewhere. I don’t really enjoy the picture versions that it come up with, but really like the images that are more abstract.
Midjourney v7 brought with it a whole new set of style reference (meaning that sref 5000 on v7 is very different from sref 5000 in v6.1). So, to utilize it, you’ll have to either be using v7 (probably on by default) or specifying v6.1 and sv 4. (“–sv 6.1 –sv 4”).
Yes, a row of cats (okay, I admit, I just wanted some text between rows of pictures).
I’ve completed the curated visual catalog for Midjourney v 6.1 srefs in the 3000-3999 range. Available under the MidJourney Resources menu above or at this link (sref 3000-3999). Bu curated, I mean that I limit the displayed srefs to the ones that I find interesting. This usually results in only about 20% of the style references making the cut. If you want to see complete sets – look at the ones in the 0-600 range.
To facilitate projects with black and white AI images, I’ve put together a reference page with 276 robot pictures in all sorts of black and white style references. This is the majority of monochrome style references in the version 7 styles in the range from 0 to 2499. 276 Black & White Robots
I’ve been wanting to get all of the show posters on the website. Some of the early ones were true works of art – digital art created on her computer/iPad by our artist daughter Mikaela. All of this is available from the “Show Posters” menu at the top, or this link right here: Show Posters
For space and responsiveness, the posters as posted are not full size. If you want to see them bigger you can zoom in with your phone, or use Ctrl+plus (or minus to zoom out) on a web browser.
If you want a free copy of a specific poster, email me at hubcrate@gmail..com. If you want to pay for a digital copy, same thing. If you just want to enjoy them, enjoy them.
I’ve posted a new visual catalog page of the curated style references in the 2000-2999 range. My goal was to whittle the initial 2000 srefs down by 80% and only present the unique ones (that interested me). I made it down to 202 presented srefs.
This is about the 12th set of srefs that I’ve created, the initial 1000 being done in sets of 100. I have tried to present four different subject matter domains (for lack of a better term) for each style reference, keeping it consistent across this set. The first two (couple, i.e. man and woman, and car) have been pretty consistent. I wanted an architectural one, so in this case used “watchtower and bridge” as bridge by itself can be a bit boring. In the past I typically had the fourth image be a famous city, but for this set, chose an object: “animated chess knight on a chessboard”.
For each of the style references, I originally generated two sets of pictures: “vehicle” and “man and woman dancing” (this one as a result of a project for a Project Dance fundraiser).
I then reviewed each style reference and created a list of srefs that were interesting. For each of those (about 210), I created four sets of images (couple, car, bridge, knight). From each of those sets of images, I generated an image that I considered representative of the style. These were then run through a couple of additional processes to get to the visual catalog as presented on the website.
There are a handful of style references in this series that I would like to study more indepth. They include the following: 2008, 2010, 2012, 2023, 2074, 2136, 2273, 2275, 2283, 2339,2481, 2814. At one a week, that would take me 3 months, so we’ll see to what degree that happens.
