Let’s make a woodcarving of an owl. This is a super fun and easy thing to do in MidJourney. Let’s start with a prompt.

Prompt: Highly detailed owl wood carving

Very impressive. MidJourney is at its best when you get it to do things humans have a hard time doing. In this case, detail. Also, you can also see a thump in one of the images. That might pop up in the future. Let’s be more detailed. Let’s also change the aspect ratio to 16:9

Prompt: Highly detailed owl wood carving –ar 16:9

This also looks pretty good. Let’s see if we can make it a snowy owl.

Prompt: Highly detailed snowy owl wood carving –ar 16:9

This looks good. However, I want the snowy owl to be wood colored and I only want one shot. Im not sure why MidJourney is suddenly giving me two shots.

Prompt: Highly detailed snowy owl wood carving, wood color, one shot, subject in full view –ar 16:9

As you can see the snowy owl is still white. We don’t want that.

Prompt: Highly detailed wood colored snowy owl, wood carving, one shot, distance shot –ar 16:9

Let’s see if we can change the prompt to make the owl not white. What we have to do is put the word brown in front of snowy owl. When you think about it, it makes sense. Every snowy owl is white, not brown. To put it in the color of the wood is really odd because it almost never happens.

Now we’re getting somewhere. I’m still not sure why MidJourney is back to double shots. Version 3 is clearly the best. Let’s make some variations.

I like version 3 the best. Let’s upscale it.

I think this looks great. As you can see, sometimes you have to play around with the color especially if you are trying to do something out of the ordinary.
