I'm really curious to see how people will respond to this video.

I personally see 3 potential reactions:

1. Some will be intrigued by the underlying questions
2. Some will think it's pointless (e.g. waste of time)
3. Some will be snarky, pointing out how these models were originally trained

If you fall into the first category, then I think you'll find some of my results surprising and maybe even fascinating.

I originally asked myself whether it was possible to emulate or replicate an artist's style in Midjourney. Obviously, we all know that we can simply reference the artist's name in the prompt. But what if you wanted to avoid doing that? I can think of many reasons why some may not want to. You might not care, but hear me out.

So tried to figure out a more or less formalized process for crafting a custom style prompt that would achieve a similar, albeit not perfect, replica of any given artist's style. And while the process did not work equally well in all examples, some of the results were surprising, to say the least.

Things got very intriguing when I started to compare prompts with the same seed. And I already know what some of you may be thinking: "Well, you used the same seed. Duh!". That's not how seeds work. If the only thing controlling an image was its seed, then why on earth are we adding stuff to our prompts!? Well, because it's not all just in the seed!

So trust me, some of the examples I'll be showing you today are downright shocking. In my opinion, it raises some very interesting questions that deserve some of our attention.

When we reference an artist's style in our prompts, is it really using that artist's style? Or is it just an amalgamation of the style of the particular art movement that the artist belongs to?

If this piqued your interest, then make sure you tune in!
