Notes on the image prompt:
The prompt for these images uses Midjourney V7’s omnireference capability—a very addictive feature. To use the prompt in your photos, take a headshot selfie of yourself against a neutral background (a white background works the best), upload the image to Discord, copy the image link, and then replace the one included in my prompt (which is an image of yours truly) after the –oref parameter and generate. Have fun!
Also, the prompt itself was generated by the latest version of Claude Sonnet (v4) created by Anthropic.
And I’m not sure if the image of me used in the—-oref command is publicly accessible. To be honest, I kind of doubt it, but if you’re reading this, you understand Mindjourney and Discord and will, I expect, adjust your prompt accordingly.

Top Image Prompt
A closeup of a resigned looking woman and lone man facing the camera silhouetted against the night sky, crouched at the rocky crest of a windswept hilltop, looking down into a valley where two towering alien tripod war machines stride through billowing smoke and flames, their three spindly metallic legs gleaming in the firelight, massive bulbous heads crowned with sensor arrays and weapon ports, firing brilliant emerald green heat-ray beams that slice through the darkness toward burning buildings and fleeing crowds below, multiple orange and red explosions blooming across the landscape like deadly flowers, thick black smoke columns rising into the star-filled night sky, the man’s coat and hair whipping in the wind, dramatic chiaroscuro lighting with deep shadows and bright highlights, cinematic composition with the hilltop in sharp focus and the valley battle scene stretching into the distance, photorealistic rendering with intricate mechanical details on the alien machines, volumetric lighting effects on the smoke and beam weapons, 8K ultra high resolution, shot with a wide-angle lens, inspired by H.G.
