Exploring Noel Fielding

Using MidJourney

I’m Lars and I want to share my generative art with you. It’s going to be strange, it’s going to be silly, and maybe even beautiful.

I’m using MidJourney to create all this. It’s an AI powered tool that creates images based on a text prompt you feed it, and optionally other images. There are several tools like this, and I choose to use MidJourney because of the pleasingly bizarre results it generates, and also because that’s the tool I have access to.

I want to cover a single subject in every every post I make, and for my first post I choose Noel Fielding. If any person calls for an exploration in generative art, it’s Noel Fielding. His art is weird, colourful and fun and meshes perfectly with the kind the kind of imagery that MidJourney creates.

Prompt: Noel Fielding + an undisclosed image source

A variety of pleasing permutations

A glorious neck beard and a colourful lipstache for Noel

Revenge of the Cheekbone

Noel’s prodigious ear nostril

Noel surprises you with a new kind of double chin

Prompt: Glam Punk Noel Fielding

The widescreen format introduces some interesting distortion as MidJourney tries to fill out the space available

A glorious turquoise five o’clock shadow and pink shoulder puffs

Wide as can be

Strong gel game

An 80s vibe and and an errant sideburn

Playing with the HD parameter

The HD parameter creates less coherent images which gives us a Picasso-esque experience

Odds and ends

Sometimes explorations will fail, but produce one good piece. Here are a few examples of that.
