FEATURED ARTIST
BRIAN JUNGEN
OUR DAYS
CANADA
Canadian sculptor and installation artist Brian Jungen was born in 1970 in British Columbia. Between 1998 and 2005, Brian, known for his ability to disassemble and reassemble objects, produced the now-famous project Prototypes for New Understanding—a series of sculptures assembled from Nike Air Jordan sneakers parts to resemble Northwest Coast Indigenous masks.
Let's see how different versions of Midjourney recognize Brian Jungen's name in V3 and V4:
by Brian Jungen --v 3
by Brian Jungen --v 4
A stark difference! And that's how other versions react:

Midjourney primarily knows Jungen for his intricate masks, making his style a perfect choice if you are working on mask designs.

FEATURED TECHNIQUE
BLUEPRINT
blueprint --ar 3:1 --v 3
From Wikipedia: "A blueprint is a reproduction of a technical drawing or engineering drawing using a contact print process on light-sensitive sheets. Introduced by Sir John Herschel in 1842, the process allowed rapid and accurate production of an unlimited number of copies."
Here is how different Midjourney versions see Blueprint:

Midjourney understands blueprint in a broader sense: schematics, plan, technical drawing. Look at those "blueprints" of Kowloon Walled City in V3 and V4:

Almost anything can become a blueprint.

Can it do Image Prompts? Well, yes and no. I couldn't turn a photorealistic portrait of Francis into a blueprint. However, when I edited it into a black-and-white duotone contrasty picture, MJ returned some really cool results!

I then tried turning Francis' portrait into a drawing with the most primitive Photoshop filters. I also noticed that if you specify what the blueprint is of, MJ will generate fewer random objects (houses, floor plans, etc.).

Expectedly, when I fed MJ a drawing, it responded pretty well!
