Monic the Demonic is an image that came after I tried to play around with external images in the Midjourney Discord bot.
The original image was awe-inspiring and was inspired by an image on Pixabay by KEELEPICS of a woman rooted in forest moss. It has a fairytale mystical look. I liked the natural-looking image and the composition between the natural being and nature.
Here is the video where I show how I used it in Midjourney.
Quite a lot has been done to the original image, including, color tone changes, using Liquify in Photoshop, and playing with the smile adjustment to give her a cute little smirk. I balanced the warmth of the image because I wanted to enhance the grayish color of the face and the eyes.
Overall I am pleased with this AI generate portrait artwork. I hope you like it as well.
