Knock, knock... Thor's there! ChatGPT + Midjourney to Create the Welcome Doorsteps of Marvel's Avengers
Our heroes have retired and designed their own front doors - with style.
ChatGPT is great at breaking through writers block and terrific at automation - so let’s put it to use to do a thematic rundown for our friends The Avengers - (emeritus).
We’ve done a few renditions on this theme before - like the Avengers in medieval times but this time lets do something unique. Let’s envision that the Avengers have retired and have designed their own homes and abodes to live the life of a now-retired hero.
What would their front door look like?
Step 1: Do the hard part first: MJ prompt for a door
The first step is to get the hardest technical part out of the way - how to showcase a designed front door in Midjourney. After some experimentation and searching for a few other examples, I settled on a specific type of prompt template:
photorealistic image, classic red door closed at an [old fashion restaurant], closeup, sunny and warm athmosphere, dslr, highly detailed --v 5 --q 2 --s 750
Next, we need to ask ChatGPT to craft some prompts using that template. I’ve been priming a saved chat on 4.0 where I simply pasted all of the instructions for Midjourney v5 into the chat piece and piece and then instruct it to craft something.
Step 2: Get the ideas set for the Avengers using ChatGPT
This took me one sentence. I will usually ask it to craft prompts but in this case I just asked it for ideas on the theme. Remember, eat the whale one bite at a time.
Create me a set of ideas that depict what the front door or each main character of the Avengers looks like.
It started spitting out the first few for me:
Iron Man: Create an image of a high-tech front door that reflects the personality and style of Iron Man, showcasing advanced technology, sleek design, and vibrant red and gold color scheme. The door should embody Tony Stark's love for innovation and his luxurious lifestyle.
Captain America: Imagine a front door that represents the essence of Captain America, featuring a vintage and patriotic design. The door could include elements inspired by the American flag and the iconic Captain America shield, reflecting the hero's dedication to his country and timeless values.
Step 3: Tell ChatGPT to combine the template and the ideas
The next part is pretty simple - just treat it like your intern and you’re good to go:
Use this template and insert the specific description of the door in the brackets: photorealistic image,[bracket], closeup, dslr, highly detailed --v 5 --q 2 --s 750
Step 4: Start spitting them out in Midjourney and pick the winners.
Results!
