1. Introduction: Okay, so welcome to this class. Mid journey on how to
create characters cre, animals using image prompting. And text prompting what
the class is about. It's an overall overview of mid journeys core concepts
for doing image generation. How to build references for video games and
the film industry. Creating animals with
different styles and anatomy. Creating creators
and refining by variating image
regions to modify custom features and modify special features like the face, the ears on the current
creator phenotype. And how to character design, creating references using
a variety of techniques and tools like remixing
image prompting text prompting parameters and my own techniques I have learned in this year of hard
working on jury, what you'll expect to learn in this class, advanced
image prompting. You must be already a jury user. You will learn some text
prompting techniques. How to bury image regions, to enhance or create
modified creators, animals or character phenotypes. How to use parameters. And an overview of
my almost one year of experience doing
image generation. I have made image
generations and used on production every day. Since I started
doing my background. I'm full stock developer. I have created good
selling apps in the past. I am an artist and
Indy game Dev, Building Apes Ascendants. I love the art ans cultures and the renaissance and
of course, I love Edge. Okay, so welcome to this class. I can't wait you to see
you on the first lesson.
2. Anatomy of a Prompt Explained in Detail: Okay, in this video we're going to see the anatomy of a prompt. A prompt must have at least two images or a description text
or a combination of images and text it zero parameters or you can
have one or more parameters. Okay. So if you are only prompting
images, an image prompt, it needs to at least two images or a combination
of image and text. Okay? And the
parameters it can has one or more parameters
or zero parameters. Image prompts, image prompts. Use the image composition style and colors to
influence the result. Okay? It will influence
the image result. You can add image weights to establish how much the image has influence over the
final artwork. Okay? This is a text description of what the image you
want to generate. Okay. The parameters,
for example, image weight, you can reference to specific mid journey model, the opscalers, the
aspect ratio if you are creating an image for
Pinterest or for Youtube, or for video, for example, for cinematics and a lot more.
3. Text Prompts Basic Prompting: Okay, in this video, we're going to see the text
prompt, Details Matter, okay? Okay. To do prompting, details matter. The
subject matters. Even if it's a person, animal, character, location,
object, et cetera. The medium, for example, is a photo, a painting, an illustration and sculptor, a doodle, a tapestry, et cetera. The environment is the image outdoors on the moon in Arna, underwater in the
Emerald City, et cetera. Lighting is the light soft, ambient, overcast
neon studio lights, et cetera is vibrant muted, bright, monochromatic
colorful, et cetera. The mood say calm and
decomposition is a portrayed, a head, a close up, a bird's eye view, et cetera. Okay, so all the details matter. The final composition and artificial
intelligence artwork, even simple one or prompts, make nice pictures in mid
journey's usual style. But you can get more unique
and special pictures by mixing ideas like art styles, mediums, all times
places, and more. Okay, let's see an
example of a medium. For example, you can write
in your discourse server. Imagine then, for example,
graffiti style cut. Or imagine a folk art style cut. Or imagine a black
painting style cut. And you will get something
closer to this cat, okay? Or you can also do pixel art and all these styles, okay? Okay? But you can also
get more specific. You can be more precise. For example, you can write, imagine the life drawing
a sketch of a cat. Or for example, imagine
value to a sketch of a cat, and you will get something
similar to this. Or you can write, imagine, you can write charcoal
sketch of a cat. Okay. Also you can
do time travel. This is amazing. For
example, you can write, imagine an 1,800
cat illustration. Or you can imagine a 1990s
cat illustration, okay? Or any other epoch you love. Okay. You can transport
using AI and create illustrations from that
current time frame, okay. Also you can use emotions. For example, characters can
thrive with personality. You can imagine a happy cat, you can imagine Sleepy cat. Or you can imagine
a shy cat, okay? Or even an angry cat, embarrassed cat, et cetera. Okay. Explore emotions
and get colorful. There is a full spectrum
of possibilities. For example, you can imagine
an acid green colored cat. Or you can imagine a
canary yellow colored cat. Or a ebony cat. A neutral cat, pastel
and green tinted. You must learn about art
because mid journey is trained with artist work and special for
creating concept art. Okay, Now let's see
environmental exploration. You can also imagine
a tundra cat, okay? Or imagine a jungle
cat or a desert cat, or a mountain, or a Cd forest or any other region you imagine. You can play with imagining those cats in those unique
environmental places. Okay?
4. Image Prompts Image Weight: As we previously said, image Proms influence jobs, composition styles, and colors. Image Proms can be used
alone or with text Proms. You can experimenting
by combining the. There are two ways to
reference an image. In. For a prompt, you
cannot blow the image to this court or you
can copy the image. Url, you must have
copyrights of the image. For example, in my
case we're going to use images that I created. Image prompt the weight
parameter for example, we're going to see
examples of how on mid journey
current version five, we can range 0-22 having a lot of an influence
under the final result, and zero has very low influence. We're going to test with
an image we previously generated by changing this
range and seeing the results. The parameter to change
image weight is hyphen. Okay, now let's do an exercise with image weights for
character creation. We're going to
approach two images I have created. So
I have the rights. I do these images
use your own images. These are three
models I created. For example, let's
use this character, let's copy image address and
we're going to save image, the image, the image and then como dragon
human conceptual art. A weight. Image weight to a lot of image
weight unless copy. Imagine we image weight
from zero for example. So you can see the
difference, okay? The weight to a lot
of image weight. This is the result and the other image with
less image weight. This is for, I am
building a video game. I'm creating references. I want to work on the anatomy. For example, here the anatomy
maybe is not fully correct. As you can see,
you can have a lot of references to work
on your characters. For example, I love
this one, this one. I really love the
way of the third one from this one
to be working more. I like the second one. The second one and
the fourth one, okay.
5. Generating Black Jaguar Romanticism Style: Okay, we're going to
learn how to create these animals with
this fire effect, So you can learn how
to create styles. In our case, this is a
pin win I generated. This is the hummingbird
and this is a black eagle. Now let's generate
a black jaguar. This is the prompt.
Copy the prompt. And we want to, we write in our discord server
in Journey Black, a beautiful black award body made from fire ins
as fire polygons. Ancient, primitive, majestic, minimalistic
movement simulation. Intense colors and
gradients as intense, chaotic cinematic lights
are connected with nodes. As polygon art
style romanticism, you cannot use a
specific artist, okay? While you cannot use a
specific artist style, you can use, for example,
realism photography. Gorda described the style you get as you see this
beautiful result. So, for example, I
love the third one. If you, for example, want
to change the radio, you will write the same. Imagine for example, for a video for example, we can change a little bit. Make from, you can experiment with words,
ancient primitive. You can for example. And you need to create
aesthetics and use poetry and poems and a lot of references,
artistic references. You will need to read about art. In my case, I love romanticism,
I love impressionism. I love like the sound sets. But we can work with a lot
of styles, with cinematics. Here you can see the result. That is amazing, less weight. Okay. This is the result. For example, you can remain, I am also taking
this one I like. I'm going to remain both. Removing polygons, geometry geometry realistic. You can see how a little
word can change a lot. The effect, for example, another thing I can
change full body. No, let's try. For example, here is again from
polygons and I like a lot, I like a second one. Okay? Here I also like from this one, for
example, if you like, for example, this one
I like, for example, the fourth one you can imagine by remixing
and you can add black. Then, for example, look at this red eyes glowing
in dying sunset. You can, you need to be
working in an artistic way. You'll need to be
experimenting and seeing the results like synchro,
for example. Here. I like the first one here. The third and the fourth. Last thing, if you want to
make an image for Pinterest, you will change
the aspect ratio. You will write imaging, you write aspect
ratio, you put hyphen, hyphen aspect ratio, two thirds vertical
image, for example. Here I the third one, the 41. The last step, of course, will be to upscale it if
you are going to sell the images on by stock. Or you can use these
images, for example, this image, as you see, it has a lot of details. It's beautiful. You
can scale here, You can click on
here, Top Scale. You can sell the image if
you are planning to sell. Or you can use this image for your video or for your
content for your brand, okay?
6. Upscaling AI Generated Images using Midjouney- Generating a Cyberpunk Bee: Okay, now we're going
to upscale an image. Okay, so let's
make a cyber punk. We're going to write, imagine for aspect ratio 169, because we're doing
for a Youtube video or for a video content, we're going to learn
how to upscale. First on Mid Journey and
then using Giga Pixel. Okay, so both ways. Okay, the image is
generated image, we, let's make a couple of more. You need to be working
and checking a lot. You will need to make a lot of prompts and only get
the best images. You are like a curator,
an art curator, an expert in art, for example. In this one, I like the second one I want to remix from this second one
to get similar results. But with more anatomy
being more correct, it seems to me that anatomy
is like, I don't know. Arm here is not correct. For example, here
we're creating. Okay, let's check these results. Okay? For example, this
is amazing. In my. You want the number two now? Let's see this one. I
definitely love this one. Beautiful second one
from this one, Michael. Okay, so here the anatomy is. It seems correct. Maybe the 41. If you want to scale
using your knee, you will click here on up scale. Okay, we're going to wait. You see from the, I don't like the anatomy. Here is the job doing the
four scale. Let's wait. Okay, It can take about
1 minute or 2 minutes. Okay, just to chair
the prompt we used is artistic abstract head made from non lines and
color gradients, exuding silver punk
projections in the style of colorful
non gradients. You need to play
with these words, you need to check my way of
prompting and you will need to develop your own style ECC. You need to use concepts, figures, metaphors,
descriptions, objects. All these create
beautiful texts. Because Id is
special for artists. Just to read the
complete prompt. Background form 8k3d, Paint
illustration, dripping paint. Realistic usage of
light and color. Intense fog and B head parts excluding light,
background, dark gradient. Okay, Finally,
here is the image. If you want to download
the full image, you will need to click
here on Web Trust site. You will go to your
Medior account and you will click
here and download. The image will be
about 25 megabytes. Here is 24 megabytes, okay? So this is the high scale image. Let's see the image
in our folder. And if you open the image, you can see that it
has a lot of detail. A lot of detail, okay. It is upscaled and is
amazingly beautiful. I love this image a lot.
7. Upscaling using Gigapixel AI: Okay, we're going to use
to pass labs a pixels. It does an amazing job in
reconstructing images. It's a one time fee for
$100 It uses Best I, Deep Learning to
reconstruct images. As you can see some top
companies using a Pix, Netflix, Apple, Disney, Nasa, Lucas Films, Mike,
Amazon, and Warner Bros. If you are planning
to do a lot of upscaling once and have
this powerful tool, okay, now let's go to our
images in our mid journey. Let's imagine we want to
upscale this one, we download, the image is 1.7 megabytes
and we open a pick cell. You will need to have a license. And we're going to browse an
image and select this image. You can see, you can
pick your model. Let's pick for example, HQ. If you see here, you can see in the right section of the line, the reconstructed models amazing how the details are recovered. The he is amazing too,
is a lot of detail. The points, the lights,
you can upscale. Upscale, 200% 400%
600% or custom. I used to upscale
images for Ava stock. You will click, in my
case, this works for me, 3.66 When you are ready, you can play with the
suppress noise remove Blureh. We will click Save Image
compression eight, Let's say for example, B Al, and we're going to save it on the source directory
of the image. We click on Save, you will need to have a good
GPU and a good computer. If not, you need to use
the mid journey of scalar. And here is the viscal. Now let's see in detail. As you see is beautiful. Amazing details, beautiful. The details in the
wings are amazing. This image is ready
for production. Okay? A beautiful concept art. This looks like a, a robot B, a cyber punk because cyberpunk
B is beautiful. Okay.
8. Prompts Basic and Advanced Prompting: Okay, let's see how to prompt. The idea is to create
prompts that are simple. For example, bright orange California poppies drown
with colored pencils. Okay, now let's
see some advanced prompts you will write on the discord server
image and then the prompt if you want
to add images. Images will influence style. You will put the images first. You can put two
images for example, then a simple description
and then the parameters. For example, you can use a aspect ratio and cows
for a more random results. Okay, now let's create an advanced prompt with
these images that I created. Now let's go to this conserver
Now let's write imaging. Okay, we're copying this
image pasting here the URL and also the image
I draw with tablet. Okay. Copy image address
then let's for example, Fears Ancient. Are you humanoid? Jack Aspect ratio, two thirds for Pinterest
vertical image. And then important chaos
with double hyphen chaos, let's say for example,
let's generate. Okay, so now let's see the
images for example, I like the second and the third one. This one and this one. I mean all are amazing
also the first one.
9. Parameters: Okay, now let's see the
parameters for prompting, okay? For example, one of the basic parameters
is aspect or mid, mid R. You can change the aspect ratio of the image if you want a vertical image, you can write, for example, 22 points and three if you want an image
for a Youtube video. For a long video, you can
write 162 points. Nine, okay. Chaos. You will add the
mid Damidleda and a number 0-100 It will change how your fourth results
will be created. It will have a lot
of variations, unusual and unexpected
generations. You can also write middle did a fast and it will override
your current setting. It will run the single
job using fast mode. Also, you can use image weight 0-2 sets the image weight
relative to the text weight. For example, if you provide
an image for image prompting, the image can has more weight, image weight than the text. Okay. It will influence more
the art style job creation. Okay, then no is a
negative prompting. For example, if you
write to an image, no plants will try to remove
plants from the image. The quality you can
vary from these values. One is the default.
Okay, also you can add here random
and it will create a random based style tuner
code to your prompt, relax. If you write Da, relax, it will override
your current setting. And it will use the. It will run the single
job using relaxed mood, repeat. It will repeat. The for example, want to have a lot of images you can repeat. And you can run the
single job 20 times O. You will write repeat,
for example 20 the set. You can add an integer between zero and all
these big number. Remember that the
mid journey bot uses a seed number to
create a field value. It will generate a
randomly set for you, but you can provide a set. If you repeat the same
prompt with the same set, it will generate the same image. Stop. It will stop between
10% and 100% of the creation. It will be blurry.
The final result. Okay style, you can change the current version
of the model. If you write a parameter
middle middle style, you can use the 5.1
midori version or 5.2. You can also put 44 or four for the model version four of
mid and also style cute, expressive original
or acenic for switching between versions
of Ng model version five. Okay? You can use
a tune command to create a style tuner and
generate customer style codes. Okay, Then the Esteli parameter, you will write Esteli or S. This parameter
influences how strongly memory the fall aesthetic
style is applied to jobs. Also you can play with style
with the turbo that will override the single job
for using turbo mode. And we it will explore unusual aesthetics with experimental word parameter. Ok.
10. Vary Region: Okay, now imagine you
want to bury a ion, for example we want to
add can open mouth. We will select the image, we will select the lasso tool, you can select the square tool, and we're going to
select the mouth. Finally, we're going to remove this and we're going to write, Jack can open mouth, be strong per dog, maybe preserve the
desperate ratio. Now let's click Enter. Okay. So now let's
see, The image, okay, is amazing, maybe the
first one on the foot. Now for example, for this image, let's for example body
region with a tool. Let's select this, this, let's for example, Jack
lets right do Jacklin, human ofs birds, schools, tiles. Let's see. Okay, so I do see this is a, a way of creating
characters by active, creating the character
references by actively doing things
and saying words. Writing words is amazing
because you otherwise can find the natomical references
that you must do also. Both is very important
also to work with AI, so it can be more active, the creation of
building of references. Okay, For example, is Amazing? I love maybe the first
one for amazing, okay?
11. Midjourney Rules Community Guidelines: Okay, in this video,
we're going to see all the mid journey rules and
the community guidelines. Okay, this is the URL. You can find all the rules. Dogs mourn.com slash
community guidelines. At current time, all content
you generate must be P 13. You cannot create images or text prompts that
are disrespectful, aggressive, or
otherwise abusive. That in, in violence or harassment of any kind
will not be tolerated. No adult content, or do not publicly repose the creations of others without
their permission. Be careful about sharing. It's okay to check
your creations outside the mid
journey community. But please consider how others
might view your content. Any violations of these rules may lead to bans
from our services. We are mid Journey
is not a democracy. You need to behave respectfully. Okay, these are the rules. For example, you can remix
other people's images, but you cannot publicly
repost other user creations. Okay, these are the rules. Follow the rules and always read the latest
update of the rules. Okay? And the
community guidelines. So you can try and
you can create, you can empower your unique
journey. Okay, thanks.
12. Class Project: Okay, welcome to the
class project section. The idea is to empower
your creativity by using beautiful words
to generate an image. The class project steps first go to your discord
mid journey server. The second step is
to create an image by using text, image prompts, or a combination or both to generate an image of an animal, a cretor, or a character. Then you're going to charge your image results in
the project gallery. Now let's go to the
mid jury server. Okay, here we are. In
my mid journey server, you will write, imagine I'm going to create
a homing bird. I'm going to write, Ming Bird, some aging st of fine and with aspect ratio
with 162.9 Okay? So nor generate the image. Okay. Finally, choose the image you are charing for
your class project. I'm choosing the third one, you're going to
generate the third one. You will click here on Web
and you will download. And finally, please, your beautiful image you
have created with your unique animal creator or design on the project
gallery. Thank you very much.
13. Outro: Finally, I'm very grateful if you watch until
here of this class, hope you have
learned some skills, how to master mid journey. You will require a lot of work. You will need to read the documentation practice,
prompt engineering, create a lot of images and
test them on production, building your unique products. If you are a content creator in the film industry, a blogger, these skills will help you in your journey and hope
you can thrive a lot. Thank you and check
my other classes here in skilture. Thank you.
