Have you ever seen a cute Octopus with a mustache? — Neither do I. Or, at least until a few minutes ago. I generated AI art using Midjourney to create a cute and bizarre “Mustachepus”.
I had strict guidelines for this AI art. I didn’t want something that will appear like I just took a transparent PNG of a cool-looking mustache and copy-paste it on an octopus image.
I needed something more organic looking of the octopus. After lots of tries, I got it. The mustache appears as part of the tentacles–Perfect!
Most of my tries yield a small mustache that looks like it was stuck onto the octopus. That’s why the ‘refresh’ button on Midjourney is important, try a few times, and change a keyword or two until you get it. Sometimes you don’t need to rephrase it, just roll and hopefully, you’ll get a good RNG.
The octopus image with the mustache looked incredible. The mustache seems to slightly inherit the tentacles texture and the underwater background looked great. I even got a nice vignette which is great for this portrait shot of a gentleman Octopus.
So many bad “rolls” that I am super satisfied with one great picture. I hope you like it as well.
