In the previous article, I introduced how to use Midjourney to generate unique avatars with AI. After extensive experimentation, we found that with slight modifications to the prompt mentioned in the article for generating animated style avatars, it works very well for creating two-dimensional characters when combined with photos. This article will introduce my method.
Effect Display#
Preparation#
- Upload the photo to an image hosting service and obtain a generated URL (you can refer to the ones below or use your own).
Core Spell#
photo url the character of a happy 20 year old girl, half body, wallpaper, illustration for a children’s book, simple, cute, full-color, Gakuen anime style --ar 9:16 --niji 5 --iw 1 --v 5
If you are a beginner or lazy, simply replace photo url with the one you have and use it directly. If you want the generated image to better meet your needs, you can make appropriate adjustments.
Adjustments#
the character of a happy 20 year old girlneeds to be adjusted based on the photo's gender; if it's a boy, please changegirltoboy.
photo url the character of a happy 10 year old boy, half body, white background, illustration for a children’s book, simple, cute, full-color, Gakuen anime style, profile picture --niji 5 --q 2 --v 5
the character of a happy 20 year old girlcan be adjusted for age as needed; if you want it to be cuter, use10, and if you want it to be more mature, use20. You can also try older ages.
photo url the character of a happy 10 year old girl, Osaka, sakura, half body, wallpaper, illustration for a children’s book, simple, cute, full-color, Gakuen anime style --ar 9:16 --niji 5 --iw 1 --v 5 --q 2 --s 750
- You can add content after
the character of a happy 20 year old girlbased on the photo, such astorii,kimono, etc., separated by commas.
photo url the character of a happy 20 year old girl, kimono, Osaka, torii, half body, wallpaper, sakura, illustration for a children’s book, simple, cute, full-color, Gakuen anime style --ar 9:16 --niji 5 --iw 1 --s 750 --v 5 --q 2
half bodyrefers to half-body; you can modify it tofull bodybased on the photo and your needs. (I feel that the impact of whether the photo itself is full body or half body is greater.)Gakuen anime styleis the style of the animation; you can refer to this article to choose and try other styles.--ar 9:16is the aspect ratio of the generated image, which is vertical here. It is best to fill it in according to the photo used; otherwise, the generated image may have black edges. If the photo is horizontal, fill in--ar 16:9.
photo url the character of a happy 20 year old girl, bubble, half body, wallpaper, illustration for a children’s book, simple, cute, full-color, Gakuen anime style --ar 16:9 --niji 5 --iw 1 --v 5 --v 5 --q 2 --s 750
--niji 5is the latest two-dimensional AI drawing model, and it is recommended to use it.--iw 1is the photo weight, ranging from 0.5 to 2; the larger the number, the higher the similarity to the photo. I find that1works well, but you can adjust it according to your preference.- If something you don't want appears in the image, you can use
--no unwanted thingto remove it. (Remember to use English.) - As mentioned in the previous article, if you want to use it as an avatar, adding the term
profile picturewill be more appropriate. I have helped many friends generate avatars using this spell withprofile picture.
photo url the character of a happy 10 year old girl, half body, white background, illustration for a children’s book, simple, cute, full-color, Gakuen anime style, profile picture --niji 5 --q 2 --v 5
Finally, turning the generated true two-dimensional wife into wallpaper is also a good choice 😋.
The original photos used to generate two-dimensional images in the article should all be available on my Instagram.
Summary#
This article only briefly introduces a small use of Midjourney; everyone can use their imagination to apply AI painting to more fields. In fact, through simple AI painting, everyone should understand that whether it's drawing avatars or animated characters, AI painting is already sufficient to replace most artists on Taobao. The AI era is now unstoppable, and we should embrace new technologies and apply them to our lives and work.
