Introduction

Welcome back to another Prompt news video! In today's Tutorial, I will show you how to create a consistent and posable comic book character using Mid Journey, an AI-powered prompt generator. With Mid Journey, you can bring your comic book ideas to life without having to be a professional artist. So let's dive right in!

Creating an Account

To get started, head over to the Mid Journey website and create an account. Luckily, you can create 25 free generations or images without having to pay anything. Once you've logged in, connect to the Mid Journey Discord server. It may seem a bit messy, but don't worry, we'll create our own server to make things easier.

Setting up Your Own Server

In the Discord server, navigate to the left side and click on "Add Server." Create a new server and give it a name, such as "Comic Book Art." You can add a photo if you'd like, but it's not necessary. Now, go back to the Mid Journey server by clicking on the boat icon. Find the "Show Members List" option, usually near the top, and click on the Mid Journey bot. Add it to your new server.

Uploading Your Photo

Now, let's switch to Mid Journey 4 and activate the remix feature that allows you to edit your prompts after rendering. To do this, type "/settings" in the chat box and select Mid Journey 4. You can upload your own photo by clicking on the big white cross and selecting "Upload a File" from the pop-up box. Choose a photo of yourself or the character you want to base your comic book character on. Copy the image link once it's uploaded.

Creating a Baseline Character

To create your baseline character, use the "/imagine" command in the chat box and paste the image link of your photo. For example, you can type "/imagine [image link] female, comic book hero" to indicate that you want a female comic book hero based on your photo. This will generate four iterations of images based on your prompt. You can then choose the iteration that best represents your character.

Making Variations

If you want to make variations of your character, such as making them smile or cry, you can use the remix feature. Simply click on the character image and select "Make Variation." For example, you can type "/imagine [image link] female, smiling, comic book hero" to make your character smile. You can add as many variations as you like to capture different emotions and poses.

Securing Consistency

To ensure consistency throughout your comic, you can use the seed number generated for each image. The seed number is a unique identifier that recreates a similar image based on the original photo. By using the same seed number, you can maintain a consistent style for your character. You can access the seed number by clicking on the image and selecting the "Envelope" reaction. It will be sent to your inbox.

Using Canva for Post-Production

To add finishing touches to your comic, you can use Canva, a free design tool. Upload the images you created with Mid Journey to Canva and arrange them as panels in your comic strip. You can resize the images, add text, and make any necessary adjustments. If you need to fix specific details, you can use Dali, an AI-powered image editing tool. Simply upload the image to Dali, make the desired changes, and save the result.

Conclusion

With the help of Mid Journey and Canva, you can bring your comic book ideas to life quickly and easily. Whether you're a seasoned artist or just starting out, AI-powered tools can enhance your creative process and save you time. Remember to plan your storyline and character concepts beforehand for the best results. Have fun creating your own unique comic book world!
