I recently started creating images with Midjourney, a new online tool that allows you to create images created by Artificial Intelligence.

According to their website, Midjourney “is an independent research lab exploring new mediums of thought and expanding the imaginative powers of the human species. We are a small self-funded team focused on design, human infrastructure, and AI. We have 11 full-time staff and an incredible set of advisors.”

So far I’ve been using the Midjourney server on Discord to create images.

In one of the Newcomer Rooms, you can type in /imagine followed by the prompt for your text.

For example let’s try something like “a happy kitten sitting on a chair”

The Midjourney bot then starts to create the image.

We then have our finished result, which is four images. We then have the choice to upgra

We then have the option to Upscale any of the images. For example if I click U4 then we will upscale the fourth image that was created.

Once finished we can take a closer look at the upscaled image.

The full resolution version is below.

You can also adjust the aspect ratio of the image produced. For example, the four images below were created with the prompt “desert planet, far future, ancient city –ar 16:9”.

“–ar 16:9” indicates that you’d like the image to be in the aspect ratio of 16:9, the most common widescreen format.

Below are some of my favourite images I’ve created so far using Midjourney. It is amazing at imitating fantasy and science fiction art so I’ve leaned towards those types of prompts.
