This isn’t the case. Midjourney doesn’t receive any VC money since it has no investors and this ignores genned imagery made locally off your own rig.

Hahahahhahahaa okay just seeing this now after being Mia for a while on Lemmy. This make me so happy. Don’t care if it’s a downvotes that’s awesome.

That’s not how it works or ever will work.

The of the first episode of my Ai series Beyond The Valley ends with this fun fact. This meme nails my intention perfectly chefs kiss Thanks for sharing.

Commercial interest wants to see free communities like this die out. I won’t name names.

Ha yeah, it’s my little status update of where we’re at with AI video. No images were given as references, it was all done with text prompts.

Thanks! Last bit I’ll share with y’all is I was livestreaming when I came up with the comic idea.

My pleasure!

Here’s a full breakdown instead (warning: big file)

Thanks, will do! :P

The whole comic is actually Ai but the characters, especially Victor, are derivative of traditional sketches and character art. I essentially establish the composition with Ai then superimpose my own style on top of it.

Haha okay this reminds of a time my partner was irritating with one specific bird at the… Are you spying on us OP?! This is like verbatim lol.

He is the undo button

My recommendation is not to only prompt the exact emotion that you want. I’ve had a lot of great luck by thinking of moments that might evoke those emotional states and put your characters in them. “Getting a new puppy” might create a more overjoyed state but will also generate a puppy. Just thinking like a director rather than a painter or a photographer gives me more interesting results. I hope that helps.

This was three separate V4 midjourney prompts with the middle being a variation of one or the other. I forgot which one came first. Lastly, Leo (the head) is their own three prompts composited into each frame using Photoshop. The animated panels on my website were done in Ae.

Ha I can see the resemblance too but Chet is the amalgamation of all “gritty 80s action hero” personified into one person. At best you could argue he’s offbrand generic Gibson.

I did write the script.

Also mods largely abandoned their posts so toxic stuff is ever more now.

I know my comic praising lemmy for no karma added to the confusion on this but I do appreciate that lemmy.world does not feature the server karma on profiles for reasons already said in the comments. Thanks for clarifying.
