Parametric Art - Fusion of Chaos Fractal Art in Laser Engraving with Midjourney

This prompt describes the creation of a highly detailed, monochrome art piece using a parametric equation. The equation provides the basis for generating captivating art with various intricate patterns and textures. The two functions provided, x(t) and y(t), describe the x and y coordinates of points on a plane, with 'A', 'a', and 'b' being constants and 't' ranging from 0 to 2π. By experimenting with different values for these constants, the artist can create a wide range of unique designs.

The prompt also specifies the desired style of the artwork, which should resemble woodcut gravure, engraving, lino cut block print illustration. The piece should be in black and white and feature decorative details, textures, and a solid background. The artwork should be created from a wide-angle overhead view with even lighting, symmetrical composition, and a dream-like, thought-provoking atmosphere.

The piece should evoke a sense of movement, energy, innocence, and vulnerability while maintaining clean lines and sophisticated design elements. The final artwork should be highly detailed, of high quality, and have a sharp focus. The prompt also mentions the art should be in 4K resolution, resembling the Art Nouveau style, and be suitable for display at institutions such as MoMA.

Additionally, the prompt specifies that the artwork should be free from watermarks, copyrights, text, words, letters, or any elements that could be considered deformed, uninspired, or extraneous. The art should not include frames, borders, canvas, arches, hands, or people. The aspect ratio of the piece should be 3:2, and the viewer's vantage point should be from a distance of 5 units.

Prompt Base

A highly detailed [art] [subject]  drawn using a parametric equation, to create captivating art, x( t) = A* cos( a* t) * cost( t) + A* sin( b* t) * cost( t) and y( t) = A* cos( a* t) * sin( t) + A* sin( b* t) * sin( t) , where 'A', 'a' and 'b' are constants and 't' ranges from 0 to 2π. By experimenting with different values for '; A', 'a', and 'b', generate intricate woodcut gravure engraving lino cut block print illustration style, Monochrome black and white, decorative details, textures, isolated on solid background, wide angle overhead view, even lighting, symmetrical, dream - like, thought - provoking, clean lines, sophisticated, nature, movement, energy, innocence, vulnerability, intricate details, highly detailed, high quality, sharp focus, 4k, art nouveau, MoMA, illuminated --no watermark, copyright, text, words, letters, deformed, uninspired, frame, border, canvas, arch, hand, person –q 1 –ar 3:2 –v 5

  • I suggest to heave [subject] empty, so the Midjourney can focus on generating a patter. Otherwise it will create a subject and wrap the pattern on the subject.
  • [art] you can just leave it as "art" and let Midjourney does its stuff. Otherwise, try airbrush painting, line drawing, relief sculpture...
  • The hands, person can be removed from "--no" list, and it will give a person to use the pattern rather than pattern itself
  • For other parameters, such as "--tile", "--q", see Parameter list: https://docs.midjourney.com/docs/parameter-list
