Dear Scott: You are tremendous! Thank you so much for your brilliant teaching, solid understanding and great communication on MidJourney. As a designer/illustrator for more than 40 years, my approach to MidJourney has sync'ed with your thinking-- and want to understand this tool, what it can do, and how it can enhance the work I do.
Awesome ... lovely to have the links in just one space. Thanks for doing so and maintaining it. Means I can spend more time being addictively imagining new wonderous imagery!
Very cool. Thanks so much for providing your guides on various artist styles that MidJourney is trained on -- I am sure a lot of people will find that information useful! :)
Great vid man! Im falling more in more in love with Stable Diffusion, no prompt restrictions, just as capable as Dall E and MJ....and its locally installed and free, hard not to love.
Finding lots of artists whose work I never would have found other than reading prompts as I do ranking in midjourney, I find I score on does it hit the prompt so I like to google artists to see their style and then leave tabs open to go back and explore their work. Again this is a tool, I'm a good doodler enjoy sketching ideas and this is now giving me ideas and ideation to try and take forward into my own art, trying the photobashing using parts of an generated as base. I'm finding I'm actually producing images I enjoy, a lot of thanks to you and midjourney
Loving your videos, Scott! I've learned so many great techniques from you already! I am using MidJourney to create artwork for a board game I've designed with a friend and we're getting some great results. We are producing beautiful landscapes, scenes, and portraits ... but then when we want something as seemingly simple as a "primitive wooden torch" or "pair of binoculars" the results are far less predictable. Is this something you're seeing as well? That MidJourney struggles with simple objects? I would love to see an exploration of this genre of prompt if you've got ideas! Thanks again! Your channel is amazing!
I'm sure you've covered this, but can't really see anything. Would you be able to do a tutorial on weighting of image prompts please if you can. eg I'm trying to create a portrait of a person, but with their face being replaced by a clock. Midjourney tends to ignore the clock part of the prompt
Thanks for taking the time and share. Very helpful. You have mentioned the need for a sufficient number of Chinese artists, but I have seen NO Indian painters in MJ. Am I missing? Have you tried to force MJ to accept new styles? I would love to have your take on it. Great job.
@@sedetweiler I couldn't agree more. I would add that I see this first wave of Midjourney users as Pioneers. We remember the world before mobile phones, before games consoles and the internet, when music was something tangible that you could transport. The next generation that is born in to a world where these things already exist will one day have a natural comprehension of AI and AI art generation and will have the ability to create epic works of art. I am in awe of what Midjourney is and what it is capable of creating. It is a tool, a very powerful creative tool and I believe that the stuff we create on here will filter out in to society and effect a change for the better.
@@shinyshinythings Thanks, I am currently working on the first painting. The under-drawing has taken two weeks to do and is accurate to 0.1mm, takes a lot of patience using a pencil, a ruler and a calculator to take hundreds of measurements from an A4 glossy photo and then transfer those measurements, scaled up, to a large canvas. I have bought a nice decent camera, so that I can film the painting and then upload it to my channel once it is completed. That might be a few months away. I have so many images that I have "created" on MJ that I really want to have a go at, so will use that motivation to get this first one done asap. I will try to remember you when the painting is done.
Love your videos!! I don't have Photoshop and am not a professional photographer but I am a MidJourney member and your videos are super helpful!! Do I need Photoshop to get the most benefit from being a channel member?
thank you but there is not the link for the google doc "artist ref" at 3,52, could you give it to us please ? there is the list of photographers in it and I am looking for that kind of list for SO long and I can t find it anywhere else, thanks
Do you have some general tips on how to discover artists? So far I've been stumbling on different creators randomly on youtube or other social media. But I am looking for a more systematic way to discover new art and different styles, not just for mid journey, but generally.
Check those guides on my blog. That list will keep you busy for years if you take time to look up and get to know each one of them. So many great ones! www.lightshootedit.com/2022/08/artist-resources-for-ai-art-generation.html
I've been wanting to upgrade my sub to the $30 so I can use my relaxed time to do exactly what these sites are doing. I would like to say for the artists that feel like AI is taking their job, I'd like to add this perspective in that im looking up and finding new art and artists everyday because of these ai machines. Its giving your work many more eyes.
@@northwind6199 yea I dont think I can last to many more days without making something. Burnt though the 200 min in about 10 days, but I keep watching other people create. Hard to fight the urge to imagine haha Beta upgrade is looking good and I only got a few pictures once that went live.
@@sedetweiler I will definitely be upgrading, currently waiting to get a new computer so I can take advantage of this in more productive ways. Using the phone at the moment but managed to get 256 images out of my 200 minutes. I remember seeing an earlier video of yours you had close to 3000 pics from fast and relaxed combined and weren't even close to maxing your time out. That was evidence enough for me! Thanks for these reference sites on this video can't wait to dive back in, your videos are a great help and I appreciate it.
hi, alot of the times when im trying to create art it gives me results with my art in a picture frame and like a mock up setting in a living room with my art on the wall😕alot of the times the art im actually trying to create ends up like this and i cant use it 😥 how do i prevent this from happening? pls help
Beautiful arts! Anyone knows a stock image site where we pay for a membership and get a commercial licence to resell them on print on demand products??
Any trick to getting outer space imagery? It always wants to do a cropped image no matter how much stuff I put “outer space, zoomed way out, whole planet” lol
midjourney already has an art style. whenever you prompt an artist you are getting the midjourney art style + the artist you prompted over-layed on top. Not exactly ideal.. which is why i use stable diffusion.
2 or 3 of the links you shared is broken, you may want to do a refreshment in your website, not good to direct people to your website which has links that are not working. For your kind information. Best
@@Beyondarmonia yeah, if it was just looking and learning. Except they took millions of copyrighted images without asking anyone and fed it to the machine and they are using it for commercial sale. Artistic style of midjourney would be impossible without the lifelong work of individual artists to develop their own style. Yet none of them were compensated or even asked. I am just pointing out the sneaky wording 'represented in midjourney' like its a good thing to be on there and as if they would like to. You literally have to type their name to copy their style yet they dont own it huh? Don't you think its a bit ironic? It's fine tho. Artists were always taken advange of by others since the beginning of civilization and looks like that trend will continue to the future.
@@clickpwn What the AI does is the same as looking and learning. The piece is run through its neural network and then discarded. Same as a human. They used petabytes of images. The resultant trained neural net is only a couple GB. There is not copy of the art there. Only names and styles and concept, just like human artist. Using there name as a shortcut to a style is not a violation. Since that artist's style can also be broken down into a combination of artists and styles before them. Their name is just a shortcut. It's not illegal the same way a MJ impersonator is not illegal. You can tell an artist to make a piece in someone else's style. This is not illegal for humans or machines.
@@clickpwn Btw, even if your name is not in there, I can run something like Clip Interrogator on your work and it will tell me what your work is a mixture of ( artists , styles, constraints like a colour palette ) and I can use that directly in the prompt and it will do the give me the same result as putting your name in.
@@Beyondarmonia yeah its not 'just like a human' dude, don't kid yourself. But whatever, you can have your opinion, I have my own opinion, nothing is going to change even if we write little texts in here and I am not going to fight the change. We are done here.

Sure! However, you can also check a few of my live streams as I do a lot of weights on those as I look for an image to work with.
Your videos are always informative and educational thank you for sharing .

You are so welcome!
I have a group of subjects that I keep trying in different styles purely to see what Midjourney comes up with, then I do oil paintings from them.
That's perfect! I think these images create great images, but that should be not be the end of the process. Cheers!

Well, not really. But if you want to finish the art, I would suggest adding to the images. I krita.org is a nice option as well.

hello from bogota i cant enter to Teapots in MidJourney help me
hi, alot of the times when im trying to create art it gives me results with my art in a picture frame and like a mock up setting in a living room with my art on the wall😕alot of the times the art im actually trying to create ends up like this and i cant use it 😥 how do i prevent this from happening? pls help
Beautiful arts!
Anyone knows a stock image site where we pay for a membership and get a commercial licence to resell them on print on demand products??
I do have a video coming on this soon where I make some cash via resale.
What about famous sculptors artists name that Midjourney would recognize?
I've been playing with Stable Diffusion via Nightcafe Creator and am struggling to get it to invent spaceships. Does anyone have any tips?
I use terms like "blueprint' and that seems to work well.
People but do you ask the artists if they want their styles to be copied and used without any copyright or compensation?
They took away the beta model before I could use it. 😭 Waiting for it's return now.
It had some bad people doing bad things. It will be back.
Any trick to getting outer space imagery? It always wants to do a cropped image no matter how much stuff I put “outer space, zoomed way out, whole planet” lol
You also need to give it details that can only be shown close-up. For example, blue eyes or even "beautiful."
I’ve seen large landscapes depicted by MJ as a result of putting “environment, ” at the start of the prompt.
midjourney already has an art style. whenever you prompt an artist you are getting the midjourney art style + the artist you prompted over-layed on top. Not exactly ideal.. which is why i use stable diffusion.
the google drive link is broken for me
Yeah, some idiot reported it to Google as a violation. "Mom, bring me a Hot Pocket, I am being a bad-ass on the Internets!"

Artists who were ‘Represented’ in midjourney? How about ‘Stolen’ ?!
Looking and learning is not stealing. You can't copyright style. You can't steal style. Because you don't own style.
