Exploring Mid-Journey: Generating New Images

In this episode of Unidentified Podcasts, we dive into the world of art and experimentation using Mid-Journey. After showcasing some drawings in a previous episode, we decided to take a different approach and see what this AI-powered tool could do with our initial artwork. Ed, the host of the podcast, suggested using Mid-Journey to generate new images Based on our existing drawings. With an open mind and a touch of excitement, we ventured into the realm of digital creativity.

Before we Delve into the process and results, let's take a moment to discuss the advantages and drawbacks of using Mid-Journey. While this AI Tool can provide interesting and unique visuals, it does have some limitations. It requires clear prompts and may not always produce the desired outcome. However, it serves as a valuable guide, providing inspiration and a starting point for further artistic exploration.

The Evolution of the Artwork

We begin by revisiting the first drawing, a black and white image of a lady. Although initially satisfied with it, we felt it lacked the wow factor we were aiming for. With a desire to push the boundaries and experiment with different styles, we decided to use Mid-Journey to transform this artwork.

As we input the drawing into the AI tool, we started to witness the magic happen. The once simple black and white image evolved into a more vibrant and eye-catching rendition. The addition of details such as transparent crystal skin and running cables gave the artwork a futuristic and cyberpunk feel.

Adding Props and Details

To further enhance the artwork, we decided to incorporate props and additional features. We imagined our character as a cyborg with a double-Chord outfit, sporting a sword and a scouter-like accessory. The AI attempted to interpret these prompts and generated various versions of the character, each with its unique Flair.

Throughout the process, we experimented with different parameters, such as color combinations and hairstyles. We requested a mix of NEON purple and neon Blue highlights, giving the character a distinctive and futuristic appearance. We also had fun exploring various styles, including an old-school aesthetic reminiscent of the 1970s.

The Influence of Image Weight

One intriguing aspect of Mid-Journey is the concept of image weight. By adjusting the image weight, we hoped to emphasize specific elements and preferences. However, we discovered that the AI tool had limitations in this regard. While we could influence certain aspects, such as the inclusion of a sword or cybernetic features, it was not always possible to fine-tune the image to our exact specifications.

Different Drawing Styles and Results

Throughout our exploration, we switched between different drawing styles offered by Mid-Journey. We experimented with both the realistic and anime styles to see how the AI interpreted our prompts. The results varied, with some drawings staying true to the prompts while others deviated slightly. It became clear that finding the right combination of prompts and styles greatly influenced the outcome.

The Use of Custom Image Prompts

Curiosity got the best of us, and we decided to explore the option of custom image prompts. We discovered a Website where prompts were being sold, promising even more control over the generated artwork. While we were skeptical about purchasing prompts, we recognized that for those seeking specific artwork, this could be a valuable resource. Being able to curate and input precise prompts would likely yield more satisfying results.

Realistic vs. Anime Style

A debate ensued between the hosts regarding the preference for realistic or anime-style artwork. Some favored the realism and Attention to Detail, while others gravitated towards the playful and exaggerated characteristics of anime art. It became clear that both styles had their merits, leaving us divided but appreciative of the range of possibilities Mid-Journey offered.

The Challenge of Specific Requests

As we became more comfortable with the tool, we decided to challenge its capabilities by making specific and intricate requests. However, we quickly realized that the AI's interpretation of nuanced prompts, such as specific hairstyles or outfits, proved challenging. While the generated images were intriguing, they often fell short of our expectations. This highlighted the need for clearer prompts and further experimentation to achieve desired results.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, Mid-Journey proved to be an exciting tool for generating unique and artistic images. While it had its limitations and occasional quirky results, it served as a valuable source of inspiration and creativity. We learned that clear and specific prompts were crucial in achieving desired outcomes. As we Continue to explore and experiment with AI-powered tools, we look forward to uncovering new possibilities and expanding our artistic horizons. With the right approach and a touch of finesse, the possibilities are endless.
