Well the tools are here, and won't be going away. Most artists can probably extend their relevancy by leveraging AI to turn themselves into a full art department, using their own abilities to customize the work in ways non artists can't. If you've ever had thoughts of doing your own thing but could never afford to take it big, now is the time.

Thanks for taking the time and creating this very informative video. Good job!

Enjoyed ths video walk-through of your process for creating a graphic novel, very much! It certainly sparked some ideas with me. Having a consistent art style and matching colours will also be a challenge.

Thanks for putting this in one video. I was talking about this once I saw this technology and I immediately saw the potential. I also shared for video on various art and comic book discord. With varied opinion. But as one who have seen the industry for art, comics, animation and visual communications over 4 decades. I think as artists and writers we must be open to all tools that will aid us in out journey to get out stories out to the public. What we don't get back is time so I welcome all the tech that can aid me in my journey **Pun intended*.

So generous to share this information. Great and informative video. Also, side note, you just seem like a great human. Have a great day!!

This is amazing information, thank you for sharing. I love the EC influence!

Incredibly knowledgeable and we'll-spoken teacher. Nice tutorials comfortableness with the subject makes starting soft real exciting!!

This is not sequential art (comic), it's just a succession of illustrations without graphic continuity.

So glad this was my first video on this subject. I've been wanting to get the stories of my novels out of my head & notes and into a book. What a great way to start off!

That looks way more amazing than I would have expected!!

Excellent video, thanks for the great content and your delivery style.

I did one of these 24 hour comics years back and it was pretty dire. But, some of the framers were pretty respectable, even if the whole thing was a bit of a mind screw. It's definitely a good way to start out if you haven't done one before as it completely removes the inner critic as you race to just get something done and can blame the rushedness if there are quality issues.

Great video, I did not know about Inferkit and Comic Life and I'll be exploring those!

Really appreciate this instructional, and your no-nonsense (but no less engaging) delivery.

Fantastic! I am going to watch this over and over and get this down.

Great video! You inspired me to do my own comic book, and mine turned out amazing! Thanks so much! 😊

And I concur: AI has not and will never (imo) entirely replace humans and our art but utilized in the right way, it can be an extremely useful tool to help us with our endeavors. Well played, sir 👏🏼

I write and illustrate my own Comic Books and Graphic Novels and rely a great deal on Digital Art. Mostly I use programs like Photoshop because they really reduce the time factor, but using Midjourney is in no way a threat to graphic Artists or illustrators and the original content we create. Truth be told we should explore these software avenues to see what we can develop from it or use to enhance the original work that we have in mind. Don't limit yourself people. P.S. Excellent video! You're a very clever man, Phil.

Thank you so much for sharing this. ♥️♥️♥️

Many are saying that creatively couldn't be replaced,but people willing to pay money for some concepts will stop doing so when they see what ai can do. I am sure many in the advertising world will find a use of it during what they call brain storming. This world of advertising is full of corrupt and unskilled people , and this tool will help them bypass many artists just for the sake to put the money in their pockets instead of paying artists.

This is what I figure it's going to come down to it's going to cut out a lot of kind of specific art jobs like concept art and stuff of that nature. Also for things like animation it may eventually cut out some level of the in between animators. Basically a lot of the grunt level of art jobs.

We're nowhere near the point where that's an issue. We may eventually get there, but only for things where the amount of creativity is limited.

@@buttsbrown2442 Yes, this is far more likely. I'd expect to see animation switching to a model where a human is doing the layout artwork, and the final touch ups, but the computer is doing the drawing in between those points and adding in between frames and less important details. If anything, this would lead to increased creativity as it is enormously expensive to create full animation, even if you're employing people in places like Vietnam where the cost of living is practically nothing compared with the US. Also, computers have been used for colorizing old TV and movies for decades. It wasn't particularly sophisticated, but much of what Turner was colorizing was done via computer. And that was decades ago at this point. The results weren't great, but they probably weren't much worse than what could be achieved by hand. I know because I've seen hand colored black and white pictures, and they look the same. By contrast, if you pick up a more recently colorized film, like the colorized version of It's a Wonderful Life, the color is so much more realistic, and I'd wager they'll get even better at that in coming years.

Hey dude great video! I'm actually publishing a poetry book with illustrations done on midjourney. I also picked up the Comic Life 3 software for Mac. Are all the vertical templates on Comic Life 3 6 :9? I want to publish my book as a paperback on Amazon and the dimensions are 6:9. I 'm using comic life 3 to simply import my artwork in and then I plan on laying over my poetry on the artwork. Are the blurbs the only way to add text? I'm looking for a simple copy/ paste my poetry from word to the artwork.

I think the "Generate lots of text approach and delete lines" creates a bit too incoherent story. I think rewriting them slightly or adding some custom lines for consistency might make them a bit more interesting.

not mid journey no, but with Stable Diffusion you can get it to learn your art and character. Go lookup Aitrepreneur on youtube.

It would be like walking into an art museum and looking at a painting thinking about what the artists had thought or what is the meaning behind it. Where an AI it doesn't have that. No real soul, but that being said it could help massively for say one person to make a comic a lot faster.
