You won't believe how cool this trick is - and I think there is only one way to accomplish it!

If you've experimented with Midjourney, you'll know that creating a dichotomy between art styles is not an easy thing to do!

I have to give a big special thanks to Daemon42 - who shared this technique with me over on Discord.

I'm going to break down this workflow into 5 clear steps.

Step 1: Generate an 'extreme' art style with a hole / portal / break in the photo.

You could describe any type of cartoonish style or on the complete opposite end of things - a realistic photo

In todays example, I used the prompt - a pencil sketch of a small figure standing beside a jagged hole in the wall

Step 2: Generate the 'opposite' art style that will appear on the other side of the wall

Since I started with a pencil sketch, I'm going to generate something photorealistic that will be seen through the hole

I went with the prompt - landscape photography of a bright sunny day, beautiful green field with a mountain in the distance

Step 3: We need to copy the image link of our landscape photo so that we can use it as a Style Reference!

We can do this by clicking on our landscape photo so that it expands/enlarges on Discord - then right+click and select 'copy image address'

Step 4: Use Vary (Region) on our foreground photo (the sketch) and do our best to select the shape of the hole

Step 5: Now we have to edit our prompt ... We need to rewrite the scene to describe what we want to see and include our landscape picture as a Style Reference!

Here is what I used for the prompt - landscape photography, a large break in the 4th wall, with a jagged hole. Beyond the hole is a landscape photograph of a beautiful country landscape with mountains in the distance -

All the credit goes to Daemon42 - I used his exact prompt for this prompting section.

DON'T FORGET We need to include our 'opposite' photo as a Style Reference at the end of the prompt!

We can add '--sref' and then paste our image link using 'ctrl+v' or 'cmd+v'

The whole rewritten prompt will look something like this

And there you go!

How amazing is this??
