The Beginner Guide To Getting Started With MidJourney (A.I. Art)

  • I’ve been playing with MidJourney, which allows you to direct artificial intelligence to create art based on text alone.
    People have been asking how to get started using it, and I hope this helps!
    You can learn and see more on my Instagram at / futurist.ai
    Come join my "Futurists" community on FaceBook Groups: / 384726720444429
    I will be sharing tips and tricks there in my "Story Highlights" at the top of the page, and in my posts and stories.
    It’s been a hot topic with polarizing opinions, feel free to write your thoughts about the future of A.I. in our industry.
    I have been using it mostly for fun: Generating concepts as a moldboard tool and just seeing if I can get the visions in my head out in visual form as I’m not great at drawing. It’s been inspiring, and a fun exercise in communication.

      Not true, creatives will find a way to use tools in a creative way to forge paths that may not exist just yet. keep going, art background just amplifies how much better you can use these tools to get results beyond what others may get too.

      Creativity cannot be replaced by ai. They work on provided data and they enhance. Every individual has a unique though process that's why each artist is unique.
      Find your signature. Use software to enhance the visuals - not to replace thought process

    My tip: don't use for idea generation full quality. Just add --q 0.25 flag - this is the fastest way to generate images. Until you get the prompt you want - use this to not block you and others from getting relaxed generations.

I used my 25 free credits in 10 minutes and it sucked me in. The images are totally different from what i am thinking and yet better than what i wanted.

    After you generate the images, are they yours? Can you sell them?

    Thanks for video. I have connected discord and mid journey and joined a newbie room...when I type in a description as you suggest...nothing is happening...how long does it take for image to be created?

      First type /imagine and then hit spacebar, and then type it in. It will give you (waiting to start) dialogue and once it begins it will give you a percentage till it's done.
      I would recommend sending the MidJourney Bot a direct message instead so it doesn't get lost in one of the newbie rooms (they are often harder to follow. Or you can find a quiet room.
