Midjourney, an artificial intelligence program created by a San Francisco-based independent research lab, generates images from natural language descriptions, like OpenAI’s DALL-E and Stable Diffusion.
The course begins with an introduction to AI art, Midjourney, and Discord. We will set up and configure the apps and navigate around Midjourney and Discord V4 servers. We will explore beginner prompts and write our first prompt, upscale and reroll images, and Light and Beta upscalers. We will set up aspect ratios and add more information to our prompts. We will configure Midjourney V4, use the remix setting, and learn about the end of the trial version. We will move to prompt crafting; work with a camera and perspectives, lighting/color; use Chaos, single images, and Niji mode. We will explore style settings, make portraits, dynamic poses, stickers, woodcarvings, badges, movie posters, portrait, and landscape photographs, create icons and videogame icon packs, and render sketches. We will use DALL-E, generate frames in DALL-E 2, and create and sell art on Redbubble. We will finally explore a few working examples and create a futuristic soldier and medieval marketplace before wrapping up.
Upon completion, we will master Midjourney to create stunning images of AI-based art, ideate creations beyond the app, and use other AI art options.
