Create this viral Wizard Cat with Midjourney AI

1. Introduction: This is my favorite character recently, and it's crazy because I woke up the other day to 20,000 views and 1,500 something likes on just a random throwaway Instagram account. And this reflects the growing movement of being able to join in on conversations online by being quick to it and by recreating something that's going viral like a meme, a person or a character. In this case, it's the Wizard cat. This class, we're going to learn about how to reference the character and how to reference the style so that you can create something that is the same look as this cat or even literally recreate this cat so that you can join in on their conversation, as well. And we're going to do all of this on mid journey. So let's get started. 2. Generating Wizard Cat on Midjourney AI: So to create this cat, you can either start by going on Discord and doing it or on the web client. Now, I've been used to discord since I've been using it forever, and I'm going to do it on Discord. So the first thing to do is to get the image link of the cat to reference. So I have the image ready. I'm just going to drag it in and have the cat uploaded on Discord. And then from discord, I'm going to copy the link towards this image. Now, what I would do next is simply to slash Imagine. I can type in Cat whatever you want for this part. But essentially, it's to get down the character reference. Which is dash dash, CREF, character reference, and then insert the link and then do the same thing, dash SRAF for style reference. That way, it has the same character and the style. Now, a trick that I use on the discord thing is I would do slash prefer Suffix which would include this in all of my prompts. So I would prefer that and then slash slash character reference and slash slash style reference, which was what we just did. So after you do this, all your generations is going to have this cat referenced in both style and character. So then you can type in cat making pancakes, maybe a chalky cat, writing on paper, cat riding on a bicycle in village with grass. So once you have that set up, all your regenerations are going to come out with that cat. And so here's our first result, just cat, but it brings out a wizard cat, which is a chunky orange wizard cat. And then here are the other ones still generating and we can get a little preview here. This is the chalky cat making pancakes. So it's still that wizard cat, chalky, orange and making pancakes. And then we're seeing this other one starting to come in, too. It's the chalky cat writing on a piece of paper or writing on paper. And then there's that same cat writing on paper. And it should take any Segall. Oh, the bicycle one came first. So here's that same cat riding on a bicycle. And then the paper one just about finished, and here it is. Alright, so now if you want to use the web client, all you got to do is go on Mid journey on the web client and then do the same thing. So we'll do slash character reference, have that same image, and then slash or double dash style reference, and then that same image again. And then you can see that they're both referenced on the bottom here. And then from there, you can type in chalky cat making pastries, or whatever your imagination takes you too. And then here we'll have the Chalky cat making pastries being generated, and then it should come up in a few seconds. Now, we could also come up with more. So style ref again, and then a character ref. And then we could have this cat do something else like maybe he's in the ocean or he's at a castle or just whatever is creative. So chalky cat at a castle. And then here he is generating or making some pastries. Super cute. And then we can go back and check on the other progress. So 33%. And usually it takes under a minute to create. And here are some of the other generations Chunky cat on a plane, and then here riding on a bike. And then here's the one with the Chunky cat at a castle. So that's it for How to Make This cat. If you make some, as well, please share in the project. This cat literally makes my day every time I see it pop up on my pen. So thanks a lot for watching, and I'll see you next time.
