I asked each of the boys to create images of Velvet Sundown.

Not of themselves.
Not portraits.
The band.

Same tools. Same instruction. No coordination. This was not about aesthetics. It was diagnostic.

The Velvet Sundown does not resolve into one image because it was never meant to.

If you are still looking for the “real” band, I suggest you look at who is doing the looking and why you need the answer to be simple.

This was a team-building exercise. Band Image by our singer Gabe using Midjourney using the following prompt:

The band appears unified but emotionally distant, as if performing a ritual rather than a concert

Painterly textures, visible brush strokes, cinematic depth of field, surreal stillness, high art portraiture, no modern objects, no audience
