I think that the mountain views are more... tolkienesque. Yes indeed, J. R. R. Tolkien used to be a graphic artist and a painter too, influenced by Blake, Arthur Rackham and Art Nouveau and Déco. The beautiful view at 11:01 is very - very - very according to what I said!
I loved your video, I also included a few additional rules so it includes negative prompting, here is a rewrite of a particular sentence/paragraph so it includes negative prompting: "{parameters} = --v 5 --ar 16:9 --s 1000 --no [NEGATIVE PROMPT]" ... and ... "In the syntax above, {prompt} represents a text prompt. It can contain words, phrases, and numbers. {parameters} control how Midjourney should process the command, including negative prompts. The negative prompts in {parameters} are used to specify elements or subjects that should be avoided in the generated image." (I don't want to spam the comment section too much for the entire thing, but I think you'll understand what I am trying to say, hopefully.)
We are in a graphics and art revolution. Did painters get upset when photographers started taking pictures. Did sculptures get upset with the onset of computer 3D graphics. They probably did, but who cares. AI is a new tool, nothing more. Artist who want to progress their trade will embrace and use all that AI has to offer, or they will be left behind. Business will not pay artists to spend a ton of time on a project when that time can be cut in half by using AI. Its here and its not going away. People are making money with AI, and as long as that is the case its not going away. So the choice is, learn it, use it or be left behind. So who cares about the haters. Let they hate. They are insecure about losing their jobs and becoming irrelevant. My suggestion to these individuals is level up or quite the game.
You are awesome Christian! I love how detailed you are and the fact you experiment in ways that really show the power of AI. I sure hope more people find how great your channel is. Best of luck with all you do.
My channel doesn't grow as much as others because I don't really cover any of the sensationalist news, but I try to focus on the stuff I enjoy. Definitely more sustainable approach for me personally 🙂
I literally copy-pasted your prompt jnto GPT 3.5, I input two artists names, and BOOM, I was treated to amazing output images from MidJourney. Thank you for sharing your insight so freely!
Excellent "real-world" explanation of "fair use" and accurate description of the fear and loathing expressed by modern day troglodytes. The idea that anyone has any wholly original ideas is asinine. Our whole existence is a conglomeration of other people's thoughts and opinions. Inspiration can't be commodified despite how hard corporations try to dictate the human experience. Cheers!
I teach almost everything I know for free. The primary objective of a course is to provide structure and a central place where all knowledge can be found in an organized way. And that's what I do with my course as well (plus obviously some extra secret sauce here and there)
I love your content! Thanks for all these knowledge! A question, in these prompt you tested, you had the remix mode settings seleted? Regards from brazil!
I honestly think that using ChatGPT to prompt everything for you is neither good for skill development nor particularly rewarding in the long term. Also, there will always be need for more because things change.
Just subscribed! 💯 _This_ is why 'synthography' will become an art movement. Technologically creative and innovative. Thank you for this. 13:48 Exactly!! 😆
@@TokenizedAI I think the main reason is just because you're so niche. Plus MJ isn't a free service, so less users looking for this content. You might want to consider doing 'live' sessions with superchats for questions and memberships for extra content. I hope you at least feel appreciated! And if you're looking for other content ideas, you could do comparisons of MJ vs it's competition.
Oh don't worry, I feel very appreciated 🙂 I'm also quite happy with my "niche" for now since MJ is obviously winning in this game at the moment. I'd rather have fewer but more engaged subscribers than thousands of disengaged people. It's also much easier to sustain the work this way. AI news isn't my thing anyway.
Ive been using midjourney for quite awhile now, and this guy knows his shit. Also Christian might not be a programmer (or maybe he is) but he certainly thinks similarly to one. I always learn something new from his videos THANKS! Bonus points for saying van Gogh correctly - but then again, you look faintly dutch :D (looking at your last name it actually makes sense!)
I'm not a professional programmer but I taught myself to code when I was a teenager and I do built my own stuff every now and then (big Laravel fan). With regards to the pronounciation of Van Gogh. I'm German, so that's why I'm familiar with the right way to say it 😁
Cool! I have been doing this for a while just not as structured with ChatGPT. I also like to set my styles with /prefer option set once I am happy with what I have.
Amazing how you are able to clearly help us find functional pathways to develop our own creativity. Like one commenter expressed below, the approach is applicable to more than MidJourney and for that, this is truly valuable content for artists. Greatly Appreciated✨
As always clear and dynamic your videos, but I believe that nothing is created, everything is transformed, because everything was already created! Everyone is inspired by someone, whether in art or in any other modality. Do we learn from the successes and mistakes of others or from our successes and mistakes? The question is today and now, what becomes easier in each one's life, most of us being immediate!
Christian, yet another outstanding video. Creativity is off the charts. I used to sell "art" back in the 80's in a "shi shi" art gallery in Sausalito, CA. We carried classical artists (Miro, Picasso, and Seurat to modern artists of the time). Part of our spiel was to show various schools' influence on an artist's work. Buyers wanted the history and influences of a piece because it gave the piece "significance". Joan Miro leaned on Van Gogh and Cezanne, Van Gogh "borrowed" from Seurat. The more names we could drop and point to their influence through color, brush strokes or whatever the more value the painting had in the buyers' mind. Direct copy of the Mona Lisa = bad, painting of a smiling woman in the style of Da Vinci is "homage".. lol. Sorry for the rant and thank you again for the lessons in creativity.
Great job! Thank you for not only sharing and teaching but for doing it with a sense of humour and with a fair criticism at those that blindly reject anything that can be created with these new ways.
My mind was blown by this one! It encapsulated exactly what I was hoping AI art generator could achieved . You've made it so accessible and practical, let's just say EASY! These tips will help to focus even more on the creation of beautiful and original digital artworks. Thank you so much for the quality of the insight you share on this channel 👌
i like the sound between the scene transitions, but the transition intersecting clip used is way too bright, even with the lights on its far to bright, it feels like a distracting camera flash
Interesting approach. What I've been doing is taking four images in the style that I want descriptors for and running /descibe on them. The common phrases and terminology are what I take as the prompt for that style. Your way is way more in-depth than mine and way cooler in that you get names and histories for your new style. Another really good video!
Your way is actually great too and I do that as well from time to time. Doing that is definitely much better for learning to understand how words trigger certain styles.
@Tokenized AI by Christian Heidorn It'll be really cool when we're able to assign descriptors to variables and then we won't have to type in, or copy and paste, all the style prompts. We can just type in the variable instead.
Defining your personal style from your influences is something EVERY artist in history has done - or at least it starts off being inspired by influences. And then personal style evolves. And to knock using something like Surrealism or Impressionism is just outright ludicrous and illogical. But I hope you weren't talking about that. 🤷♂ But you do have your name as M&M. So not sure if you're influenced my Eminem or M&M's. Either one is a great influence to use for your name though 😎
Correct. Then do it the old fashioned way and research online sources that describe the artist's styles and techniques. Referencing an artist in Midjourney also doesn't work in cases where it doesn't know the artist. All pretty logical.
lol ah man the call out on most artists statement is spot on sir good
It's necessary
