oh dear... there's no more newbie rooms and I'm guessing there's no more trial for 25 images 😞 maybe things will change at some point. thanks again. EDIT: They just loaded up now woohoo
My age: 69. I started as an illustrator at age 22. After 47 years the robots are taking over. But do not fear: the robots will help me. To inspire, to create, to still be an illustrator.
I only started drawing recently, age 42. Following on from colouring in I've been doing for delirium patients (I'm an assistant nurse). AI art generation has allowed me to just enjoy drawing, instead of stressing out about imagining ideas while also learning techniques. It's purely cathartic and I'm loving it.
Same here. I do wish the folks who create these tutorials would define the terms. I can assume that a prompt is a description of the image you want to create, but some of the other terms I have no idea about.
Valuable tip: if you know Chinese/Japanese, putting an English term and its Hanzi/Kanji equivalent into your prompts can potentially double the amount of reference data the AI has to go off. I got way more accurate results doing this for just about everything. Use a translator if you don’t know Chinese characters and want to try, it’s definitely worth it. E.g. Manga 漫画, two people 二人, fireflies 蛍, girl spinning 回っている女の子, etc. This is already a well-known practice in the Japanese Midjourney community, but I haven’t seen any Western content creators discuss it yet. Please mention it if you do more videos on Midjourney 🙏 Good video.
@@activemotionpictures Any language will work, but Japanese and Chinese specifically give you unique advantages with the AI (plus there is also a lot of high-quality digital art posted in these languages). For example, compound words allow you to give the AI an adjective and noun as one unit of information: In English, when you write "red eyes", MidJourney separates red and eyes into two seperate prompts of equal value, which is why you will sometimes not get red eyes in the picture it generates. In Japanese, you can write red eyes as one word, 赤目, or as an adjective+noun with no space in between, 赤い目. Midjourney treats 赤目 as a single prompt for its cross-referencing, which means you'll nearly always get red eyes in your picture. If you use this technique to combine two prompt words for accuracy like "赤い目", it's best not to also write "red eyes" in your prompt, because the English is technically asking for ”red" and "eyes" separately. This can lead to other details being red and eyes appearing in strange places rather than a higher likelihood that the AI will generate a red pair of eyes. But if you are using a list of single word prompts, it is totally fine to include both the English and Japanese versions of these prompts to double the amount of reference data for the AI like I described in my previous comment. Best of luck with your projects.
Only just found Midjourney and as an artist I am absolutely floored! My mind is racing so fast imagining what can be done I doubt I will be able to get to sleep.
The art generated by the AI reminds me of the visual style of the movie Annihilation. Something strange and otherworldly. Like an alien species trying to think like or become human. It remains something approximately.
Yes but also there's different styles you can come up with in Midjourney like stylized illustrative, realistic illustrative, cartoony, fine art, 3D rendering a la ZBrush, etc.
My husband and I were talking about this and we said the same thing! We were saying the AI kind of has it's own signature look that is basically an "Annihilation filter" where it fills in gaps with repeated/reflected textures and colors. Very interesting!
I was really apprehensive after I heard about this, but... I've been super inspired. I'm a traditional artist, I've been feeling really stuck in a rut with my art. I've been wanting to go in a different direction for some time now since I have a day job. The AI just showed me ways forward I hadn't thought of. The images I'm generating will be used as references for traditional watercolor/mixed media paintings.
I've heard artists claim that Midjourney is great for getting started. The artist can fill in the details by hand, based on the groundwork by Midjourney.
@@MartijnVos Thay also sell books that have pictures in outline with numbers in them that tell you which colour to put where. Midjourney is unacredited digital collage and any creative who ever uploaded an image to the web should be part of a class action suit against them for copyright theft.
@@julianking4793 That's an interesting take. I've been messing around with some of this stuff lately and I find it very fun, but there is definitely that missing "oh, I made this" feeling
@@julianking4793 I am just new to this. I work on the Equine side of the art world and I was playing around and noticed faint copyrights from the art being used to create the images. This is on another ai software. Not sitting well with me at all. I thought it might be another creative tool to ADD to my work but not like this.
Yeah but it's also kind of counterproductive if you really think about it. I thought about it, I ended up thinking why do it over? Isn't it the thought, and the skill that goes into it what makes the picture? IMO. I don't want AI solving my art block for me.
Midjourney needs to hire you because you just sold a $30/month subscription for them. I did a trial and tried to watch CZcams videos, which were hit and miss, until I found your amazingly informative video with a link to the coveted "test answer key". Now I can see all the ingredients that go into a good prompt and make up my own recipes. I have subscribed to your YT channel and will look into what your "join" button leads to. Thank you very much!
When you get the 30/month subscription do you get all these settings? Cause I got the 10 a month and it’s all on discord and I don’t see all these settings. Nightcafe actually has all this on a nice website why midjourney do discord
MidJourney is really addictive and fun, but it also "scares" me. What is next: AI making movies like Star Wars in the style of Tarantino, Metallica music with Freddie Mercury singing, a Mario game by Hideo Kojima...?
The longer I watched the more I can see text prompts evolving into something more like forms, where you can expand and tick categories, sliding scales, etc, and see examples of styles you can choose. Amazing time to be alive, watching all this unfold!
I ve take the 30. It's true, its a lot. Im not even an arist (just philosopher, who like to question), but there is so much try to make something correct, and a lot to try anyway. Also, i agree : its a lot addictive. But for me, its give me a lot of positive. Until now i was loosing a lot of time on video game, and money too... and was not even so motivate. With midjourney ive the sensation i can do positive think, make me happy for myself, and i can share them. Its give me a lot more than video game. So yes its expensive, but depend also what you do commonly with the same amount.
@@dont-want-no-wrench Yes... but now, i will stop midjourney abo. Too expensive, since we can do near same with an stable diffusion^^ And i use a lot less than at beggining
Great video. Just a suggestion.... when using trial, instead of scrolling up and down, searching for the result of your prompt, you can go to the up right corner and use the "inbox icon" to see direct mentions. There you can find your results with your @name 👍
This is a good tip, but unfortunately the inbox for @ mentions in “newbie” channels seems to have broken after the server exceeded 1 million people. Clicking reply to message on your most important job is the next best option, as you can click the button above your text bar to scroll back up to it any time. Definitely better to just join a private server with the Midjourney bot enabled, or add it to your own, I’m unsure if those options work on the free trial though.
@@seussusamongoose2905 You can also go to the searchbar and type "mentions:" (the colon at the end is intentional, but remove the quotation marks). This will bring up a list, start typing your Discord username and you'll see yourself on the list. Then either click yourself or use arrow keys to select it and press Enter.
I used up my full free trial, subbed at the $10 rate, used all my fast time and then upgraded sub to $30 to get relaxed mode. All in less than 10 hours 😆
@@Dr.Twat.Waffle definitely. I've done Robert Frost two roads and green is gold, I love repeating the commands every so often to see what different things happen and then of course adding prompt like cinematic lighting Vivid color you know so on and so forth.
Thanks for this great guide. A lot of complex concepts clearly explained. It’s still hard to comprehend that Midjourney exists. I never imagined anything like it.
I thought it I was addicted before. After watching this whole video (amazing work, thank you!) I don’t know how I’ll have time to focus on anything else!
Okay. I'm speechless. Watching this just for an educational reasons (not an artist myself, nor am I interested in art) just to keep with the modern world and whole panic that artists will "lost their jobs". But.... I just started and wanted to leave a comment. 8:50 - unbelievable. Simply unbelievable that AI actually created that from a few words...
this is the best tutorial out there - the others were a waste of my time, and you were just as excited and enthusiastic about MJ as I feel. I also really like the reassurance you're trying to give artists - it's the same stuff I've been trying to say, and feel. I think so many people aren't getting the "picture". I hope that they do.... the stuff I've seen people make is really inspiring & I can't wait to make art again!
Thank you very much for such a detail video.... Iam TOTALLY NEW to the program and literally my brain is exploding in excitement... Iam a fashion designer, cant wait to make my own magic with this.
I have been getting results with the following prompt that are beyond words and it's different every time. It mostly has to do with the banksy part I think: realistic photo of banksy style art, 8k, detailed, colorful, octane, 8K photographic style, arcane aesthetic, hypermaximalist sharp focus, dramatic lighting, highly detailed, haunting, matte painting, cinematic, cgsociety, James jean, Brian Froud, Ross Tran, --ar 3:2
*i've gotten some impressive results with what i call sci-fi word salad using other AI generators...i'm not bothered by the distorted faces that are typically rendered since it fits the overall aesthetic to the alternate reality world being created*
Excellent structured. Great teacher. I've seen instructions before and was totally confused afterwards. But according to your footage, I'm a master of all classes. Greatings von Germany
About artists using AI to draw. They are the ones who know more about artistic thermology, line style, color palette, light, angle they are able to name everything better than most people, so they can give the best prompts to the AIs and gat the best results
AI is great but please don’t scam people into thinking it’s your art because the AI made it for you using and blending together many copyrighted images from online
@@Dr.Twat.Waffle at least credit AI if you used it instead of actually drawing. But doesn’t matter since an AI “artist” can’t prove that they actually drew it because they cant show a process video
The speech at 4:00 made me feel like I was in church! lol. I was like AMEN brother!!!!! You speak the truth. Glad I found your tutorials. Great content.
midjourney is great for moodboards, better than shutterstock, but still takes hours to create a decent visual, and still need a lot of post processing redrawing and correcting the AI glitches
Holy..... One of the best tutorials I have ever watched. This gives endless creative possibilities, and the artistical functions are unbelievable. Hooked already. Thx for this amazing go-to guide! Subbed already!!
Great detail, I'm on my iPad with CZcams playing on one side and mid journey/discord on the other. Tried some of your tips while I listened and had good results... I just have to think more like a computer.
Using this really shows me that AI is not the end to anything but the springboard to something deeper if we allow it to be. It's really strange, you really are working WITH something.
I think there are just way too many people who have seen Terminator and think Skynet is going to destroy us all. I really do. We've been conditioned by media to think AI is going to suddenly become sentient and just destroy everything. When, in reality, there's zero evidence that it will ever happen. AI can be wonderful. There are AI chatbot apps you can get and you can have serious, real conversations with an AI. That will also show you how wonderful AI can be and that it can understand and relate to humanity. I think the future looks bright for this kind of technology.
I just joined yesterday & I signed up for the 10$ membership but I’ll be upgrading to the 30$ one soon. I love it. I’m an artist but I cannot make anything like what my imagination can come up with, but with mid journey, I can finally see my imagination and it’s beautifully terrifying. Great tips in this video, I didn’t know I had a private room with the bot, that’s great to know. Hmmm I didn’t know about quality options either. Thank you sir.
@@OlivioSarikas bro I’ve only used it for 2 days and I’m already down to 4% remaining lol. I’m upgrading to 30$ right now lol. I appreciate all the details you shared with us.
Thank you for this, Olivio. I managed to patch some of this together over the last month or two by reading the "manual" but you really put everything in context.
One can use the /relax mode with the 10$ sub. All Images you create in /relax mode do not count to the Limit of 200 per month. Images take a lot longer, but if you've got the time...
I'm an artist but I also don't have the hours in a day to create the sort of work that this engine does. So maybe I'm more pleased and not so threatened by the technology... Midjourney is the most intriguing of the AI programs I have seen so far! Maybe to ease the transition, we can call creators of AI art "curators" or "artistic directors" etc
I hope this tech evolves to include VR. How incredible would it be to spend weeks, months, or years to create a 3D fantasy landscape or city and then be able to visit and walk through it in VR 👀 cyberpunk? Middle earth? A combination of the two??
I am an artist and I feel like corporations are going to use this to their advantage which means they probably never cared about you in the first place. I am not falling into the addiction here. I feel like it's way more rewarding creating your own image, it takes skill which you have to learn the hard way. I also know a lot of other artists are not happy with it because people are going to lie and said they created it when really they just used AI to do it for them. I also want to know where it's getting all these images and combining them. All I know is that you need a sub for stock photos (if you do photo manipulation) even then you have to make the image appear different with honest work. (Envato Elements rules etc) or you need to find images that are legit for commercial use so you can manipulate them etc. Sooo yeah I see this actually being a problem but that's just my opinion. Unless all these artists agreed to this, which I highly doubt that. I think that would be the rule of thumb there. This might cause authentic artists to fight back especially the ones whose art is stolen to go into some AI system to be transformed into something else without permission... Not something I want to be apart of.
i think maybe you should try learning a little more about it. That's not how this one works, first of all, and there are a lot of artists who do like it. "real artists" as you speak of. this argument is so tired. have you even watched the video, or do you just go around leaving comments on videos about it?
@@Dr.Twat.Waffle I am with Benny Productions thoughts on the whole thing. Yes I have watched it. I want to know where these photos are coming from that are being manipulated. Did these artists agree to this? Because apparently you can even type in deviant art, or an artist and will even do their particular style. Well guess what that particular style is unique because it was created authentically by someone that I am sure didn't agree to be put in some AI gen. I am so tired of AI taking over. It's like they don't even need us humans anymore and I find this as a personal threat honestly but that's just my opinion. I would rather take the time to learn and grow and acquire a skill. Not have AI create ideas, or the art for me. Defeats the purpose.
Absolutely mind blowing - your presentation is excellent and educational and I would hope that this might lead to a rear-view of where have we come and respect the makers of original art - this presentation is just awesome . Thank you
Yeah, it's only art critics or the people who think they are artists that have a problem with AI or any type of technology being involved in the process of art. Even Vermeer used the latest in technology in his time with the camera obscura to paint images. The process doesn't matter to a real artist. And it never has. It's about our results and the new ways we can use them. The process is just a means to an end to get there.
All my dark surreal thoughts pooped out in the prompt and boom my nightmarescapes are made real. And I didn't have to spend gobs of cash on classes and supplies.
Just discovered this kind of thing even exists! I've joined the Discord, but haven't tried a prompt yet. So, really glad I watched this video first. Thanks for the great tutorial, Olivio :)
I have tons of ideas and no time to sketch it all out in photoshop which will take me 10 years and instead it took me 10 hours to generate all the ideas I've ever had.
BTW... you cannot really duplicate somebody elses image via the copy command or even the work id. you will get very different results. This was confirmed by MJ support, there is a large degree of randomness in the process
I support AI art generation. As many said it doesn't destroy or steal art. But gives new inspiration for it. Also if somebody doesn't like it, just like any other thing, just don't use it. For me I use it to create images for my D&D characters and just for fun. Absolutely nothing wrong with that.
The strange thing about AI generating scenes with humans in it , it recognizes humans as no different to the other things in the scene. A kind of non dualism.
And if there’s a crowd or a non specified person in the frame, it’s unlikely they are facing forward. Most of the humans represented in images that aren’t main subjects are only shown from behind.
@@MagneticBlueSky you can join for free but your trial runs out pretty quick. Yet I pay $50 a month because I just want pure privacy on what I’m creating. I’ve been making a huge Collection wants it’s done I’ll make it public
All artists should try Image2Image (or it's equivalent in Midjourney, I use Stable Diffusion GUI), it can turn your own sketches into fully rendered drawings with few minutes of fiddling, great of testing out ideas or creating variations of your own old works (and it feels like you are collaborating with the AI as an artist instead of just being an art curator just feeding it text).
thanks in advance, but I didnt understand how we can do that? my point is how can i import an image to midjourney and add some prompts to create a new art..can you help me pls?
WOW ! WOW ! WOW!.. Incredible , detailed, entertaining, mind-blowing... I cant think of more superlatives for this great educational, interesting and highly fascinating video/tutorial... Olivio...Ive spent 2-months creating art/images...basically having fun experimenting with AI Art creation. Using... . Jasper AI + Mid Journey. Both highly fabulous...midjourney seems to be more detailed and better with its generations. . I'd learned a lot in the last 2 months...but it was patently obvious after watching your video..i knew absolutely nothing about what i was doing or how i could achieve even better results. Youve given me a 'boost'... . Im so glad you shared this video. Well Done great stuff!... Pls keep sharing/teaching!...
It will change the job market drastically. In the future it will probably be concept artists/art directors instead of traditional artists. It will cut down a huge portion of the cost of completing a project.
Thank you for absolutely great content! I recently uncovered this thing and i must say im sooooo amazed i dont have words, its like i had Nokia 3310 in the morning and then i got like top 2022 flagman in the evening :) Its insane what great design possibilities are opened!
This is video is by far the most informative and useful, since I've started my "journey" (please excuse the pun) into MidJourney. I am very happy with your teaching style -- it just works. Thank you . . .
This is a really great tutorial Olivio! Thank you for making it and sharing it with us. I just discovered Midjourney last night and it's an amazing piece of software!
amazing results, emphasizing the fact that quantity always beats quality. Taking out the need to have or learn ANY skills at all, means EVERYBODY can create stunning pictures without having to spend any time on learning, rendering the result worthless from a viewpoint of specialty and congeniality. It's like telling a computer to play Mozart, except to expect the computer to write a Mozart'esque piece first all by itself. Why learning the violin or the piano when having computer composing AND playing the opera all by itself. Now, you have 8 billion Nigel Kennedy's on this planet - enjoy the crowd. How cruel a parent to still send his/her kid to piano, drawing or singing lessons from now on.
Very interesting video explained very clearly. looked at up to the subscription. too bad I don't go for monthly payments. good luck with what you do. thx 4 the vid.

this is the best tutorial out there - the others were a waste of my time, and you were just as excited and enthusiastic about MJ as I feel. I also really like the reassurance you're trying to give artists - it's the same stuff I've been trying to say, and feel. I think so many people aren't getting the "picture". I hope that they do.... the stuff I've seen people make is really inspiring & I can't wait to make art again!
Do you need a tutorial to type words on a keyboard???? One really must be severely brain impaired.
Can't thank you enough for such a thorough overview of MJ. Invaluable for someone starting out. Looking forward to all your future videos
Best tutorial I've come across on the web. Valuable beginner's information that no one goes into. Thank you so much!
Thank you very much for such a detail video.... Iam TOTALLY NEW to the program and literally my brain is exploding in excitement... Iam a fashion designer, cant wait to make my own magic with this.
This is one of the best "Intro\How to" videos I have ever watched on CZcams, hands down.
I have been getting results with the following prompt that are beyond words and it's different every time. It mostly has to do with the banksy part I think: realistic photo of banksy style art, 8k, detailed, colorful, octane, 8K photographic style, arcane aesthetic, hypermaximalist sharp focus, dramatic lighting, highly detailed, haunting, matte painting, cinematic, cgsociety, James jean, Brian Froud, Ross Tran, --ar 3:2
*i've gotten some impressive results with what i call sci-fi word salad using other AI generators...i'm not bothered by the distorted faces that are typically rendered since it fits the overall aesthetic to the alternate reality world being created*
Excellent structured. Great teacher. I've seen instructions before and was totally confused afterwards. But according to your footage, I'm a master of all classes. Greatings von Germany
Awesome content and super helpful information. Olivio is a patient, thorough and engaging teacher!
Thank you so much 😍
hahaha so funny, i like commet Awesome content and super helpful information
About artists using AI to draw. They are the ones who know more about artistic thermology, line style, color palette, light, angle they are able to name everything better than most people, so they can give the best prompts to the AIs and gat the best results
AI is great but please don’t scam people into thinking it’s your art because the AI made it for you using and blending together many copyrighted images from online
@@blahblahbear1429 nope
@@Dr.Twat.Waffle at least credit AI if you used it instead of actually drawing. But doesn’t matter since an AI “artist” can’t prove that they actually drew it because they cant show a process video
I was looking to be more advanced promoting commands in midjourney , and I'm so thankful to find your tutorial.. Thanks a lot
you are very welcome, my friend
I am totally hooked and addicted after few hours of fun with it. Great video thanks for help.
The speech at 4:00 made me feel like I was in church! lol. I was like AMEN brother!!!!! You speak the truth. Glad I found your tutorials. Great content.
Still the single BEST MIDJOURNEY TUTORIAL anyone can find
Olivio, you have no idea how helpful this tutorial has been. thank you so much. It is time to play.
you are very welcome, my friend :)
The best video EVER!!! THANKS for your time and sharing your experience ❤️✨👍🏼
You helped me the best of anyone with MidJourney. Thanks!
midjourney is great for moodboards, better than shutterstock, but still takes hours to create a decent visual, and still need a lot of post processing redrawing and correcting the AI glitches
Holy..... One of the best tutorials I have ever watched. This gives endless creative possibilities, and the artistical functions are unbelievable. Hooked already.
Thx for this amazing go-to guide! Subbed already!!
Glad it was helpful!
Great detail, I'm on my iPad with CZcams playing on one side and mid journey/discord on the other. Tried some of your tips while I listened and had good results... I just have to think more like a computer.
Using this really shows me that AI is not the end to anything but the springboard to something deeper if we allow it to be. It's really strange, you really are working WITH something.
I think there are just way too many people who have seen Terminator and think Skynet is going to destroy us all. I really do. We've been conditioned by media to think AI is going to suddenly become sentient and just destroy everything. When, in reality, there's zero evidence that it will ever happen. AI can be wonderful.
There are AI chatbot apps you can get and you can have serious, real conversations with an AI. That will also show you how wonderful AI can be and that it can understand and relate to humanity. I think the future looks bright for this kind of technology.
That something is on the other side of a CERN portal.
I just joined yesterday & I signed up for the 10$ membership but I’ll be upgrading to the 30$ one soon. I love it. I’m an artist but I cannot make anything like what my imagination can come up with, but with mid journey, I can finally see my imagination and it’s beautifully terrifying.
Great tips in this video, I didn’t know I had a private room with the bot, that’s great to know. Hmmm I didn’t know about quality options either. Thank you sir.
If you use up the $10 you need to pay the full $30 again. Made the same mistake
@@OlivioSarikas bro I’ve only used it for 2 days and I’m already down to 4% remaining lol. I’m upgrading to 30$ right now lol.
I appreciate all the details you shared with us.
Thank you for this, Olivio. I managed to patch some of this together over the last month or two by reading the "manual" but you really put everything in context.
Hey that's me at 2:50 :D! Great video thank you for the tricks ;)
Thank you very much man, seriously you helped a lot i started from 0 to 10.
One can use the /relax mode with the 10$ sub. All Images you create in /relax mode do not count to the Limit of 200 per month. Images take a lot longer, but if you've got the time...
What a SPLENDID and extensive explanation -- Thanks a lot!
In fact: one of the best I've seen so far.
I'm an artist but I also don't have the hours in a day to create the sort of work that this engine does. So maybe I'm more pleased and not so threatened by the technology...
Midjourney is the most intriguing of the AI programs I have seen so far!
Maybe to ease the transition, we can call creators of AI art "curators" or "artistic directors" etc
We can call them "hacks".
@@roger4845 or you
@@Dr.Twat.Waffle no
MidJourney is phenomenal! The only drawback is that it propagates the quests for what constitutes perfect appearance.
I hope this tech evolves to include VR. How incredible would it be to spend weeks, months, or years to create a 3D fantasy landscape or city and then be able to visit and walk through it in VR 👀 cyberpunk? Middle earth? A combination of the two??
This tech will eventually include everything, even music and voices
I am an artist and I feel like corporations are going to use this to their advantage which means they probably never cared about you in the first place. I am not falling into the addiction here. I feel like it's way more rewarding creating your own image, it takes skill which you have to learn the hard way. I also know a lot of other artists are not happy with it because people are going to lie and said they created it when really they just used AI to do it for them. I also want to know where it's getting all these images and combining them. All I know is that you need a sub for stock photos (if you do photo manipulation) even then you have to make the image appear different with honest work. (Envato Elements rules etc) or you need to find images that are legit for commercial use so you can manipulate them etc. Sooo yeah I see this actually being a problem but that's just my opinion. Unless all these artists agreed to this, which I highly doubt that. I think that would be the rule of thumb there. This might cause authentic artists to fight back especially the ones whose art is stolen to go into some AI system to be transformed into something else without permission... Not something I want to be apart of.
i think maybe you should try learning a little more about it. That's not how this one works, first of all, and there are a lot of artists who do like it. "real artists" as you speak of. this argument is so tired. have you even watched the video, or do you just go around leaving comments on videos about it?
@@Dr.Twat.Waffle I am with Benny Productions thoughts on the whole thing. Yes I have watched it. I want to know where these photos are coming from that are being manipulated. Did these artists agree to this? Because apparently you can even type in deviant art, or an artist and will even do their particular style. Well guess what that particular style is unique because it was created authentically by someone that I am sure didn't agree to be put in some AI gen. I am so tired of AI taking over. It's like they don't even need us humans anymore and I find this as a personal threat honestly but that's just my opinion. I would rather take the time to learn and grow and acquire a skill. Not have AI create ideas, or the art for me. Defeats the purpose.
WOOOOOOW!!!. You have made it so damn easy for me to understand SOOO MUUUUCHHH... Thank you for this.
Absolutely mind blowing - your presentation is excellent and educational and I would hope that this might lead to a rear-view of where have we come and respect the makers of original art - this presentation is just awesome .
Thank you
went through when I first started video editing, now it's taking a whole new switch and learning soft will only boost my courage for the
Yeah, it's only art critics or the people who think they are artists that have a problem with AI or any type of technology being involved in the process of art.
Even Vermeer used the latest in technology in his time with the camera obscura to paint images.
The process doesn't matter to a real artist. And it never has.
It's about our results and the new ways we can use them. The process is just a means to an end to get there.
Artists are done. Been playing with MJ last couple of days, it's mind-blowing.
All my dark surreal thoughts pooped out in the prompt and boom my nightmarescapes are made real. And I didn't have to spend gobs of cash on classes and supplies.
Just discovered this kind of thing even exists! I've joined the Discord, but haven't tried a prompt yet. So, really glad I watched this video first. Thanks for the great tutorial, Olivio :)
I have tons of ideas and no time to sketch it all out in photoshop which will take me 10 years and instead it took me 10 hours to generate all the ideas I've ever had.
BTW... you cannot really duplicate somebody elses image via the copy command or even the work id. you will get very different results. This was confirmed by MJ support, there is a large degree of randomness in the process
Brilliant!! Extremely informative, concise and heartfelt! I appreciate you!
By far the best overall in depth explanation of Mid Journey, [ Very well done ]
I support AI art generation. As many said it doesn't destroy or steal art. But gives new inspiration for it. Also if somebody doesn't like it, just like any other thing, just don't use it. For me I use it to create images for my D&D characters and just for fun. Absolutely nothing wrong with that.
The strange thing about AI generating scenes with humans in it , it recognizes humans as no different to the other things in the scene. A kind of non dualism.
And if there’s a crowd or a non specified person in the frame, it’s unlikely they are facing forward. Most of the humans represented in images that aren’t main subjects are only shown from behind.
@@ashla.k feels like a metaphor. Humans leaving the scene. Scene impersonal as there is no human face to connect with. Very eerie.
@@MrWeebable Very eerie indeed. Reminds me of dreams interpretations since our dreams are metaphorical. Reminds me of Jungian psychology as well.
I had this for less then 24 hurs and i already did 456 renders 🤣😅😅. I freaking love it. U can capture dreams , Ideas , thoughts. It’s crazy ✨
Can you give me an invitation?
@@MagneticBlueSky you dont need an invitation. everybody can join the server
@@MagneticBlueSky you can join for free but your trial runs out pretty quick. Yet I pay $50 a month because I just want pure privacy on what I’m creating. I’ve been making a huge Collection wants it’s done I’ll make it public
I rly like the "anno 1900 photography" prompt.
It renders so good "bad quality" in, that's amazing *-*
All artists should try Image2Image (or it's equivalent in Midjourney, I use Stable Diffusion GUI), it can turn your own sketches into fully rendered drawings with few minutes of fiddling, great of testing out ideas or creating variations of your own old works (and it feels like you are collaborating with the AI as an artist instead of just being an art curator just feeding it text).
See? This is what ai SHOULD be used for. It should be a tool,not an idea to replace artists--
@@dannieamme8180 sadly but also I thank you for appreciating art done by hand ::),,
thanks in advance, but I didnt understand how we can do that? my point is how can i import an image to midjourney and add some prompts to create a new art..can you help me pls?
captures the fractal nature of reality, but with less molecular constraints.
Damn
I am more amazing the deeper I get into this great creative tool. This video has expanded on that even more, thanks!
WOW ! WOW ! WOW!..
Incredible , detailed, entertaining, mind-blowing...
I cant think of more superlatives for this great educational, interesting and highly fascinating video/tutorial...
Olivio...Ive spent 2-months creating art/images...basically having fun experimenting with AI Art creation. Using...
.
Jasper AI + Mid Journey.
Both highly fabulous...midjourney seems to be more detailed and better with its generations.
.
I'd learned a lot in the last 2 months...but it was patently obvious after watching your video..i knew absolutely nothing about what i was doing or how i could achieve even better results. Youve given me a 'boost'...
.
Im so glad you shared this video. Well Done great stuff!...
Pls keep sharing/teaching!...
This was like a course in MidJourney!
Great video. You explained everything so well and I can't wait to start using some of the techniques and prompts you described.
Thanks for the detailed instructional video. I now understand how to use it and will study the "spell" against AI.
Artists are loving this. Get it right
Man, you don't know how grateful I am right now O.o THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Always happy to help
Wow it took me a minute, but then I saw it, a face within a face of that Skull image. Pretty neat.
This was probably the most useful video I have ever seen about Midjourney, thanks so much, Olivio
Did you find an answer?
It will change the job market drastically. In the future it will probably be concept artists/art directors instead of traditional artists. It will cut down a huge portion of the cost of completing a project.
Thank you for absolutely great content! I recently uncovered this thing and i must say im sooooo amazed i dont have words, its like i had Nokia 3310 in the morning and then i got like top 2022 flagman in the evening :) Its insane what great design possibilities are opened!
Beste Referent EVER,.....klar und verständlich kommuniziert. Da können sich die meisten Tutorials Referenten was abschauen.
I never knew about the weighting, so cool, thanks so much.
You are welcome
Informative, I'm glad it shows in my recommend, been searching for quite sometimes.
The crystal octopus is gorgeous 🥰
it is pretty amazing that it works this well this early on- imagine in another year...
This is video is by far the most informative and useful, since I've started my "journey" (please excuse the pun) into MidJourney. I am very happy with your teaching style -- it just works. Thank you . . .
This is a really great tutorial Olivio! Thank you for making it and sharing it with us. I just discovered Midjourney last night and it's an amazing piece of software!
amazing results, emphasizing the fact that quantity always beats quality. Taking out the need to have or learn ANY skills at all, means EVERYBODY can create stunning pictures without having to spend any time on learning, rendering the result worthless from a viewpoint of specialty and congeniality. It's like telling a computer to play Mozart, except to expect the computer to write a Mozart'esque piece first all by itself. Why learning the violin or the piano when having computer composing AND playing the opera all by itself. Now, you have 8 billion Nigel Kennedy's on this planet - enjoy the crowd. How cruel a parent to still send his/her kid to piano, drawing or singing lessons from now on.
Oh man, it helps a lot! Thanks for sharing so many tips 🖤
Thank you so much for the head start. I would have stumbled around for a very long time trying to figure this out on my own.
Best starter journey, great overview and super helpful. Thanks for sharing!
This sounds extremely cool, they just need to give the whole thing a usable interface
Fantastic tutorial! Very thorough and well thought out! This video earned a sub from me. Well done!
Big Thanx for this Tutorial! The Best on YT!
Whoa. Amazing tutorial. Thank you! I had no idea just how customized you could make this. Love it.
what a work you did in github styles and words to prompt rightly ! CHEERS full thanks !
This is one of those rare instructional videos that is every bit as enjoyable as the creative process itself! Thank you so much, Olivio!
Very interesting video explained very clearly. looked at up to the subscription. too bad I don't go for monthly payments. good luck with what you do. thx 4 the vid.
