Hey AI explorers! 

I’m Jacob Tingen, and today we’re diving into the wild world of alien ecosystems. Joining me is my brother Warren Tingen, our graphic design expert. 

Let’s get started!

Initial Prompt: Alien Zoo with Visitors

We began with a prompt for a large, spacious alien zoo with visitors walking around the exhibits. The goal was to create an editorial photography style image with studio lighting and a dynamic composition to capture the otherworldly atmosphere.

Prompt: A large, spacious alien zoo with visitors and dynamic compositions, styled like editorial photography with studio lighting.

The results were fascinating. While some images leaned towards dinosaurs, others captured truly alien creatures. The top right and bottom right images stood out with their unique alien beings, giving the impression of a natural history museum on an alien planet.

Second Prompt: Individual Alien Creature

Next, I focused on capturing a full-body shot of an individual alien creature in the zoo, maintaining the same editorial photography style.

Prompt: An extraterrestrial zoo animal in full body, captured in photorealistic detail, styled like a National Geographic photo.

The images were intriguing, with creatures that had a mix of reptilian and otherworldly features. The bottom right image, in particular, showcased a unique alien animal, though some of the creatures appeared more intelligent than I had anticipated.

Third Prompt: Alien Safari on an Alien World

We then shifted to an alien safari on an alien planet, aiming for a National Geographic photography style with afternoon lighting and dynamic compositions.

Prompt: Animal safari on an alien world, featuring National Geographic-style photography with dynamic afternoon lighting.

The images did not disappoint. While some animals resembled familiar Earth creatures with slight modifications, others were entirely unique. The top right and bottom left images showcased fascinating alien creatures, blending the familiar with the fantastical.

Fourth Prompt: Alien Safari in Different Environments

To add variety, I used permutations to create an alien safari in three different environments: jungle, desert, and plains, while keeping the editorial photography style.

Plains

The plains images were remarkable. The top left showed a robotic civilization amidst the alien landscape, while the bottom left featured entirely unique creatures. The combination of futuristic and natural elements created a compelling scene.

Desert

The desert images were equally stunning. The bottom left showed a creature that seemed to be a labor animal, while the top right depicted a fearsome beast that could easily jump out of the sand. These images captured the harsh yet intriguing environment of an alien desert.

Jungle

The jungle images had a more predator-like vibe. The top right featured a skull-like face in the tree, adding an eerie touch. While the jungle scene didn’t capture the alien feel as well as the plains or desert, it still presented a fascinating glimpse into an extraterrestrial rainforest.

Prompt: Alien safari across different terrains (jungle, desert, plains), captured with a Canon EOS R6 f/1.8 in a National Geographic style.

Final Thoughts

This episode was a thrilling exploration of alien ecosystems through the lens of AI. Each prompt brought a unique perspective, blending the familiar with the fantastical, and showcasing the incredible creativity of Midjourney’s AI.

Thanks for joining us on this extraterrestrial journey.
