I have learned from sad experience that when working with AI, the more specific your vision for the image, the more disappointed you will be with the output.

This piece is from my early days of working with generative AI, and it hasn't been updated because I can't get Midjourney to fully capture my vision. This version is basically what I want, but as you can see, it's very much an AI-generated image. The colors are right, the vibe of the buildings is right, and the temple is loosely "like unto the temple of Solomon"¹ (in that it's more square than pyramid-shaped and has more than one pillar). The houses also look like they could be made from wood. Unfortunately, no amount of Photoshop (at least at my current skill level) is going to fix the trees with their awkwardly long trunks, the slightly funky path, or make the buildings look less strange. Still, it's got the right vibes, so here it is: a monument to my first idea for a Book of Mormon travel poster.
