Midjourney has definitely consumed the work of Christopher Shy.Apparently, Stover Delft is difficult to get right. I'm still not totally convinced, but this is what I got.

Which of those artists do you think most captures the ZG 'vibe'?How would these prompts look if you told Midjourney to do it in the style of Erol Otus, Tony DiTerlizzi, Wayne Reynolds or Dave Trampier?
I would say that Trampier's careful line art and cross-hatching would fit. I can also see an argument for DiTerlizzi. (I mean, I can always see an argument for more DiTerlizzi.)Which of those artists do you think most captures the ZG 'vibe'?
For example, Erol Otus, while a legend from the early gaming era (and a delightful fit for DCC, who embraces his style), is almost comical, and a terrible fit for Zeitgeist's cerebral and philosophical tone.
And WAR is a bit comic-book-y and action-packed. Great for the 3e and PF era he's associated with, but is he really Zeitgeist-y?
Christopher Shy, who was the chosen artist for a lot of late World of Darkness 1.0 stuff, is already showing up in your portraits. I would ask Midjourney to specifically give you something in his particular style, which is modern but spooky.I feel I almost want a noir artist to style these picts agaisnt.
