So, another datapoint on Midjourney's interesting responses to nonsense words. I tried getting it to imitate Geoff Darrow's art, but I mistyped the name as "Geodff Darrow". And it generated this amazing fleshy meat world! Nothing like Darrow's work, but definitely SOMETHING.

So I was wondering if Midjourney recognized Mummenschanz, that weird, silent, masked theater troupe. Turns out that WOW, IT SURE DOES NOT. But it has a pretty definite impression of the word "Mummenschanz", interpreting it as "horrifying babushka shoggoths".

Okay, last one! You'd think gold would just come out like silver, but yellowy. And it almost did, I suppose. But why's it so much more organic an gloopy? You'd think it'd evoke gold bars or jewelry.

Anyway. Fun, low-effort experiment.

...Not that I'm actually done, though. I mean, "gray" had to produce something good, right? Loads of imagery associated with that word. And I wasn't disappointed! Love that amazing face. I almost never try to generate people in this thing, but that one's good.

I was torn on whether to go with "purple", "violet", or "magenta" at this point in my rainbow. I went with violet, and of course the word's use as a name caused the algorithm to generate people.

Cyan went interesting places. Look how much stuff in these images ISN'T cyan! That landscape is mostly pink!

The next color, red, is actually where I got this idea: Just throwing "red" into a prompt often generates banners, cities, flowers, and red-haired women, even alongside other words.

Naturally, I tried to get it to generate some inhabitants for Deep Dendo, too. In the absence of any other description, though, they also came out looking like wicked voorish domes.

"Then beyond the woods there were other hills round in a great ring, but I had never seen any of them; it all looked black, and everything had a voor over it. It was all so still and silent, and the sky was heavy and grey and sad, like a wicked voorish dome in Deep Dendo."

It's definitely a place. It's mentioned in a vague and suggestive way in Arthur Machen's vague and suggestive story "The White People".
