As I am developing the artwork to go along with my rock opera, I'm hoping to model it after punk rock show flyers from the 1980s. How does MJ do with ragged looking photocopy type art? Or is it too "pretty" to use for that?
I think it can handle almost anything with the right description. Here's what I got by simply throwing some of the keywords from your comment as a test run: https://i.imgur.com/69Sr5kR.png
If you really want to mimic a very specific look, you could even use an external image as a "style reference" for Midjourney to work with.
To begin with, you can simply add "graphic novel" to your prompt. Here's my very first try with simply "elephant in the jungle, graphic novel --ar 3:2": https://i.imgur.com/VV3ZiKP.png
[subject] is where you put the description of your subject or scene. In my demo case, my three subjects were "elephant," "sofa," and "cityscape." So the entire prompt would look like "elephant, kawaii." That's it!
Yeah exactly. Also, using names of specific artists will obviously have a strong impact as well, since it captures more than just the brushtroke, or color palette, etc. But I try to steer clear of recommending specific artist names, because that always feels iffy to me. Going for broader styles like this feels a bit more "fair game" though.
And yeah, graphic novels by Midjourney tend to be pretty great as well. Comic books, too. (Actually still have that one for a potential future list.)
Thanks! That is very helpful.
Thanks! That’s close but not quite right. I’ll play around.
Here's what happens when I use this cover image as a Style Reference: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/222365300322756307/
Midjourney mimics it rather well (I made both color and black and white versions - and tried both guitar and drums):

So I think it's a matter of finding the right reference image and seeing if Midjourney can apply that style. Good luck!

When you say [subject] what am I putting in there. What’s the full prompt. That would have helped me more to see in full. Thank you.

I like the simplicity of this approach, and I bet it will work just as well (or close) for GPT4/Dall-E. Nice!
I've been asking a lot more lately for graphic novel style stuff. I love those old styles and they represent a tiny piece of me in my work.

I think Dall-E restricts you from using individual artist styles now (probably wisely as the legal issues are navigated).
Yeah it restricts the use of living artists I believe, or those within the last 100 years.
Ooh, I know some really good artists from more than 100 years ago.
