You’ll probably want to test sizes and ratios too. But you can also make logos, sketches, tattoo or comic book art, children’s books… the sky is the limit and the results are insane. Mostly likely, you’ll want either an artistic, illustrative style or a photorealistic style. Then add styles until it’s closer to what you’ve imagined. Keep things simple in the beginning, just describe what you want to see. So these prompts will help you get what you want faster, but they’re just a starting point for you to develop “ethical” Midjourney prompts that are more unique. Note: it’s dodgy, but not illegal, to copy an artist’s style directly by using their name (for living artists at least) but you could also just paste in 2 pieces of artwork and reproduce something much closer to their originals. I’ll go through soon and make examples of some of these so you can see the differences, but here’s a handy reference guide. What are the best text-to-image prompt keywords for unique types of art and photographic styles? For best AI art results? How about architecture, fantasy art, character renders and logo design? I’ve been playing with Midjourney and other text to image generators built around stable diffusion and I have my own prompts to get the best quality images, but recently I let chatGPT3 help me brainstorm some new ones… so here’s a huge list! Scroll all the way down for new prompts, V5 examples and best midjourney prompts for stunning results. Update! Version 5 just came out, and it’s more photographic and less artistic.

Soon to be a major motion picture directed by Sofia Coppola Finalist for the 2022 Voice Arts Award for Narration by the Author An Associated Press Pick of the Top 10 Audiobooks of the Year A New York Times bestseller An bestseller A Barnes & Noble bestseller A Pick of 7 Best Audiobooks of the Month A Barnes & Noble Pick of Top Indie Favorites See All + Following Franco Moretti’s observation regarding proportions between translations and local production and Sean Cotter’s definition of minor cultures as “translated nations,” this research arrives to the conclusion that the “translated nation” is a stage within semi-peripheral and peripheral literatures when shifting their orientation within the world system. The article also depicts the situation of small cultures and their specific behavior towards translations. Translations of novels are thus accommodators for new dependencies within the world system. This points out to a complex system of legitimation, through which state-building processes are followed by periods of translation growths in order to secure the alignment to the new center of influence. Shifting consequently its subaltern state from Ottoman to Western influence, from Western to Soviet, and from Soviet to Western again, the Romanian administration also ensured the growth of literary translations-at least in respect to novels. The data used is an exhaustive account of the ratio of local productions to translations provided by Andrei Terian in 2019. Abstract: This article analyzes the growth of translations of novels in Romania in relation to historical events that changed the administrative orientation of Romanian Principalities and the Romanian state within the world system.

The Kingkiller Chronicle is a fantasy series expected to have three novels in it – a trilogy. Now people on are on their toes waiting for Patrick Rothfuss’s book 3 to come out: The Doors of Stone. These books indeed made Patrick exposed to recognition and catapulted him to fame as the two books from his fantasy trilogy: The Kingkiller Chronicle series. The latter won the David Gemmell Legend Award after sitting comfortably in the first position of The New York Times bestseller chart. The former, being his first published novel, won the Quill Award as well as a Publishers Weekly Best book of the year. He has published a couple of books that made him renown like The Name of the Windand The Wise Man’s Fear. In his childhood, he wrote a couple of short stories and poems as a result of extensive reading and reduced time spent in front of cable TV networks. Patrick Rothfuss was born in Madison, Wisconsin. It takes years of practice to place one of the hardest nuts in the world on a level surface, find a good-sized hammer stone, and hit the nut with the right speed while keeping one’s fingers out of the way. Human novices have trouble cracking the same tough nuts, partly because they do not have the same muscle strength as an adult chimpanzee, but also because they lack the required coordination. The chimpanzees jab their “spears” into a tree cavity to kill a sleeping bush baby, a small primate that serves as a protein source for female apes unable to run down monkeys the way males do.23 It is also well known that chimpanzee communities in West Africa crack nuts with stones, a behavior unheard of in East African communities. This came as a shock, since hunting weapons were thought to be another uniquely human advance. One savanna community, for example, uses pointed sticks to hunt. De Waal believes that some species use forms of intelligence that we are still unaware of intelligence beyond our imagination. “Chimpanzees use between fifteen and twenty-five different tools per community, and the precise tools vary with cultural and ecological circumstances. Humans are extremely proud of our complex language and abstract thought, but these are just two tools in a big box of mental functions used by animals. Johnstone you'll like and if you've read his work, you'll be disappointed. If you never read a book written by the late William W. At least Matt Bodine and Sam Two Wolves, aren't lost in this one, playing second fiddle like in the last book. This probably was the correction for the error of 100 pages missing from Book 11 in the series. Johnstone had lived for many years in Shreveport, Louisiana, yet died in Knoxville, TN, at the age of 65. He also authored two novels under the pseudonym William Mason. His main publication series were Mountain Man, The First Mountain Man, Ashes and Eagles and his own personal favorite novel was The Last of the Dog Team (1980). He wrote close to two hundred books in numerous genres, including suspense and horror. Johnstone started his writing career in 1970, but did not have any works published until 1979 ( The Devil's Kiss) and became a full-time writer in 1980. He later served in the Army and, upon returning to civilian life, worked in radio broadcasting for 16 years. He quit school when he was fifteen and worked in a carnival and as a deputy sheriff. His father was a minister and his mother a school teacher. William Wallace Johnstone was a prolific American author, mostly of western, horror and survivalist novels.īorn and raised in southern Missouri, Johnstone was the youngest of four children. Ohhh! Silly me! I overlooked an entire manuscript chronicling Master Cullen’s fetishes. How I fancied the prospect of Cullen joining the duo in their repressive exhibitionism. It is an all out goose bump fest culminating sinister eagerness into an addictive sexual outburst. The modus operandi of molding a ravenous yet timorous obedient pursued by Zachary over Jessica is unthinkable and incredibly sexy. Sinclair observantly constructs a naively susceptible Jessica being captivated by the audaciously intricate Zachary. Gosh! I am so enamored by the narrative that I can’t even be bitchy with the libretto. Step by step revelation of a lifestyle of more than just hot kinky sex, liberating the stringent prude embedded within the cores of sexual explorations is greatly pleasing. Jessica’s fated admission to Club Shadowlands, her apprehensive foray into the BDSMers clique and enticing tutelage of Zachary flawlessly entwines a burgeoning Dom/Sub relation. Being completely besotted by Master Z, my heart flutters even when I pen down words about him. I wouldn’t change a thing in this volume come what may. Likewise, there are articles/papers by Dr. Anthony Faulkes, is available online as a free PDF through the Viking Society for Northern Research ( University College London). The entire Prose Edda, as translated by Dr. Online Viking Society for Northern Research Anthony Faulkes‘ translation (which includes the full Edda):Īs for academic guides concerning Norse mythology, consider the following books by Professor Carolyne Larrington and Dr. Byock‘s translation (if you’re new to all of this). Jackson Crawford‘s translation:Īs for the Prose Edda (another primary source about Norse mythology, composed by the Icelandic chieftain Snorri Sturluson in the 13th century), I recommend starting with Jesse L. But for those who really want to explore this topic further, here are several useful and reliable resources worth knowing about:įor the Poetic Edda (a primary source containing poems about Norse mythology), I recommend either Professor Carolyne Larrington‘s or Dr. Of course, I do have my own fair share of resources about Norse mythology here in the Hall, including Lore Tomes about the Norse Gods, several posts about the Land-Spirits (including a podcast episode), and information regarding the Old Norse-Icelandic Calendar. |
