Midjourney V5 - How To Use Reference Images To Create UNBELIEVABLE Cartoons And Avatars - Tutorial

This video is a tutorial on how to use the new Mid journey Version 5 (Midjourney V5) to create photorealistic or highly stylistic cartoons and AI avatars. The tutorial begins by showing various images of famous people, such as Ronaldo, Messi and Taylor Swift, as realistic or highly stylized avatars.

The tutorial demonstrates how to access over 150 different cartoon avatar styles in the reference sheet and create and refine them to achieve a photorealistic or highly abstract result. The tutorial shows the step-by-step process of finding an image to work with, copying the link, and accessing different styles from illustrators, cartoonists, caricaturists, etc.

I strongly advise on the midjourney V5 and above to put the image link after the description, it seems to have a better understanding, then add always the max image weight (2.0) at the end of your prompts if you want results close to your original image

Ex: your description, the link then
--iw 2.0

I love it when things on my screen don't seem to work the way yours does. I'll figure it out. Good video.

I don't know how you guys feel about this, but my conclusion so far is that in V5, the improvements in realistic rendering of photographs have come at the expense of creativity. Artistic styles are no longer weighted in the images like before, and the specification of an artist in concrete image descriptions is no longer considered as much as it was in V4. Sometimes the artist doesn't get any attention at all and the motives look quite similar, even if you specify a concise artist as the style.
For a series of concept art images with a comic-like touch that looked really great in V4, I get quite disappointing results in V5, no matter how I rephrase the prompts.
What are your experiences?

The tutorial is great, BUT if we use styles from a website, it doesn't actually apply the style to our photo, but rather mixes it with the 4 photos that represent the artist's style. If you need to stylize a man and you choose a style where women are depicted, then it will mix the woman and man from the photo depending on the weight of the photo and the style.

To make the tutorial work, you need to find an artist who has drawn something similar to your photo and preferably of the same gender.

This is fascinating. I need to watch it a few more times to understand what you did!

Kind of newbie here, how mid journey knows the artist names? And their styles? Is the midjourney trained on the images of these artists? Let's say I start making many images from today in my own style and then you like my style, then you won't be able to write my name in the prompt to get the results like right? Please enlighten me how does this connection work. Thanks

Hell yeah, straight to it, no bs. Thank you

Mines doesn't show a copy link tab it only shows copy message link, can you help with this?

[rodolfovaliati]

I signed the basic plan for 200 images per month. Does each variation and upscale spend my credit?

[devamsanghavi]

Thank you! I was exactly looking for this.

[christophercrider]

I've uploaded one of my own images and hit enter. When I right click on the image I do NOT get the "copy link" option. I have "copy message link". When I try that option I always get "Could not validate this link. Please try again later." What am I missing??

[aaronvdw]

What do you think Aaron McGruder, Alex Ross, Becky Cloonan, Neal Adams, Gil Elvgren, etc think of this?
