Most Impressive AI-Generated Images (MidJourney)

If you’re looking for a way to create some truly impressive images, then you need to check out?MidJourney’s?text-to-art AI tool.

With this tool, you can simply enter some descriptive text and the AI will create an image that will blow your mind. Heck, it produces artworks that are more impressive than anything I could ever create on my own.

How Does It Work?

Once you get access to the Discord dashboard, you enter the text that you want to be turned into art.

Then, the AI analyzes the text and comes up with a concept for an image that represents the meaning of the text. It takes only a minute or so to generate 4 low-resolution samples that you can upscale later on.

Pretty awesome, right?

I gathered a collection of the most interesting AI artworks for the remainder of the story. If you want to attempt it yourself, I’ve included the prompt for each piece of art as well.

Creatures

This nifty tool generates images of creatures that are truly impressive. From cute puppies to super cool dragons. So whether you’re looking for a new phone or desktop background, or just a little bit of inspiration for your next painting, Midjourney AI has you covered.

Ancient City

If you’re looking for Ancient structures inspiration for your next game environment, MidJourney is a perfect tool for that.

The tool is able to generate a never-ending stream of random game worlds for players to explore. Three sample images below are the ones I found really interesting.

Line Works

MidJourney can also serve as a great source of inspiration if you prefer conventional media like pen and paper over 3D work.

Look at these illustration examples. It might be mistaken for masterful hand-drawn artwork at first glance.

Final Thoughts

In a world where technology is increasingly becoming a part of our everyday lives, it was only a matter of time before someone came up with the idea of using artificial intelligence as a creative tool.

As an artist myself, it’s making me fear these tools would someday completely suck the joy of drawing by hand.

But will AI replace human artists? Not too soon, in my opinion.

Some artists are using Midjourney as inspiration for their own work, using the tool to generate ideas and concepts that they then develop further. Others are using the tool to create entire pieces of art, with the AI providing the initial inspiration and the artist adding the finishing touches.

The possibilities are endless, and it’s fascinating to see what can be created when art and technology come together.
