Yesterday, I shared 4 printmaking techniques that generate fairly similar outputs in Midjourney. Today, I'm adding 4 more similar techniques to your bag of tricks. The prompt is: lighthouse, [printmaking technique] --ar 2:3 Here are all eight techniques: Risograph Screen printing Letterpress Lithography (litho, lithograph) Linocut print Woodcut printing Wood engraving (*specify colors) Relief printing These are the colors MJ generated w/o me specifying any - except for the wood engraving. Results vary depending on the subject and the parameters you choose. I tested these tokens with several different subjects and found many great gems! I can't decide which style is my favorite - they are all great. P.S. This is not to say that these are exactly as they would be in real life. This is how MJ interprets these styles.

Low quality workbooks produced for public education in Chihuahua... wish more teachers and educators felt free to give this kind of feedback. I love her pithy summary: Que verguenza.
No quiero ofender, sé que el gobierno de #Chihuahua representa a un sector de la población y que estos materiales fueron diseñados por algunos docentes, pero... ¿En verdad, estos son mejores libros?

This morning a fire engulfed the Greater Nile Petroleum Operating Company Tower in Khartoum, a city where the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces have been battling for 5 months. This highrise is about 1.5 km from the nearest army troops in territory controlled by RSF.

The physical capital of an entire country being destroyed. People being destroyed too, as most have fled and lost everything. United States policy should be 100x more generous to refugees and displaced persons at this moment.
