Have you seen the things they have done with Marvel and Star Wars and other franchises?
Midjourney is one of the most popular pieces of AI software that allows users to create beautiful AI-generated artwork by simply entering a text-based prompt that describes the image.
Never thought A.I. would take off so fast. Basically, people text in what they would like to see and the AI generates pictures and art around their ideas. Recently, there was a roundtable and Jed was talking about Phoenicians and that might be a good idea and put in like Phoenicians as and Epic 300 style movie or something like that. If you are a creative person, this AI artwork is just another tool for someone to use to produce their visions and dreams. Like ILM, any storyteller or director has used technology to give the public the movies and shows that we are all familiar with. It seems like a good way to generate concept art, even if you can draw well or are an artist yourself.
SteamPunk Star Wars
They have some for Marvel characters as Cowboys in the Wild west. There are also ones for Marvel Characters as Samurai. Marvel in the Victorian Era is another idea. A lot of these things have been done in comics, but it’s interesting to see what the AI comes up with.
What if countries had their own StormTroopers?
Just thought that it is a new tool that artists could use. https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/midjourney There are a lot of How to vidoes and How to instructions here. One thing I like about this site is that some people do still have dreams and stories they want to tell. Maybe aspirations of movies or video games. Maybe one day cutting edge technology can facilitate that for you.

There are many ideas out there. Think of your favorite novel or video game and have the AI make a movie out of it. Also, maybe vice versa? Never used Chat GPT, but one thing a writer or author might wanna do it tell the Chat GPT to make a novelization of existing movies or shows that do not have books to go with them.
Turning Justice League into Dogs of Justice
As far as I know, no one has done Capitol cities as villains. That might be one. Pinterest used to have a lot of amazing twists and variations on existing characters, but would have new ones too. That might be a place to go to feed them into the AI machine for realistic renderings of existing art.
Some of these are too good not to post. Makes you wonder is Chat GPT could come up with like a bio and backstory of the villains if you gave it a description and what state or country it was from.

Recall that thread someone posted on here about what is your dream crossover? There were some really good suggestions. They have yet to be put into AI art.
Lord Of The Rings + Star Wars = Lord of the Stars
Honestly I very much love using AI through Midjourney. I’m going to create my own thread because I want to showcase what I am doing with it & trust me it’s unique.
I will say this though, as an actual traditional artist (I write, draw, photograph & videograph) I understand why Artists Hate Ai. I always mention Midjourney in the tags & usually Ai as well. I hate when people use it as their own legitimate art they created on canvass, that is fraudulent.
I’ve got some videos on my channel as well.
I find AI “art” to be somewhat of a misnomer. To me it appears it just finds things already created based on your search terms and just mashes them together.
I’ve seen some good AI art vids and some of them are amazing! Anyone know any free AI art generator sites that DON’T allow you to sign up or pay? I’ve got one at the moment but I can’t seem to zoom in on my created work and it turns out too small as a result.
It’s new to me, so I don’t know any free ones, but FOTOR was free the first dozen times I used it. It was so new that I just put in a bunch of terms and clicked generate, so I didn’t know what I was doing. If I find out any more, I’ll post it.
It’s only a new tool. I would think someone with talent and ability to draw would do it anyway and would not stop just because A.I. puts out images. In fact, I think entering sketches and making them come to life would just be fun. Nothing will replace the artist because humans have an individual style or a signature look. Even directors have that many times. That’s why you see so many going for “80s Dark Fantasy” is that it’s a look from a particular era. I saw a different one in black and white that was Superman in the 50s or something like that.
Looking forward to seeing what you actual artists do if you start your own threads. Becoming an expert in using the AI tools might be a good move, but I don’t know.
Looking forward to your threads because it will be fun to see what an actual artist does with it and ones that are actually jazzed about trying something new. The Apple PC itself was supposed to be a tool for artists.
A good artist might not even really care about the medium or form and just adapt to new tech and toy with it and play until they get good. I don’t know. I mean, at first, I’m sure a lot of directors and filmmakers and television producers might have thought youtube was beneath them, the the good ones used it to their advantage to make big channels.
Well, I started a topic but the mods have yet to approve it. Strange, I have created topics without issue.
Here are some shorts I made with ai art:

GV, you are on it. Hope your thread is approved. Maybe try again, I don’t know. The fact that you are already capable at it impresses me. Good for you.
You are like the go to guy for G&G to come up with AI art.
Thanks, I have over 2k pictures generated that I will be opening a store for posters & shirts. I would LOVE to get Jeremy’s attention or any of the admins. I’m looking to start doing collabs with like minded people.
Also, if you have any request for something you want me to try & design, let me know :)
Will do. I don’t even mess with it, but just like looking at it. There are a lot of ideas on here. I could rattle off tons just that I read about from you guys on this site. The fact that you already do it though, I hope people go to you.
@DragonLady Here you go maybe. He says it’s a lot like it, but it’s free and unlimited. Lexica: https://www.futuretools.io/tools/lexica
Like MidJourney But Unlimited Free Image Generations!

So apparently we can’t have more than 4 attachments or files, so I’ll try again. These are lower resolution pics I designed in Midjourney, the quality is so much better than other AI I have tried.
What do you guys think & give me request for what you want to see:
