Thank you all… it’s been my pleasure to be here with you for 2.5 years. See you on the flip-side.
I started this channel in January of 2021 to share my knowledge of selling digital downloads on Etsy, or any other platform, as well as my experience with Print on demand. I do my best to bring you the most relevant content about selling print on demand and printables, creating interesting print on demand designs, testing myself print on demand products and their quality, as well as provide you with marketing tutorials, and so much more! I recommend many services and websites in my videos, some may contain affiliate links- which means that you can have a discounted price, or the same price, while I earn a bit of a commission for the referral- to help support this channel and the costs of producing the videos.

Mey you are fantastic. This is awesome I've not heard anything so truthful from many of the videos on YT covering this topic
A lot of people fear what AI is going to do to artists and the industry. As an artist myself I'm not worried one bit. And for a number of reasons.
A company we work for doesn't care how we make the artwork for their projects. They want it done fast and they want it done well. AI makes that job much easier.
Digital artists have had stock photo services available for decades now to make that easier. And then there is photography where you click a button to get an instant image.
And for traditional painters it will likely make their craft and skills even more valuable. Because now more than ever there will be people who want to see how the artwork they are buying is made. Video or photos of it in stages. Documentation of the process that becomes a selling feature for traditional artists. It's a type of authenticity for people who buy because of the artist they connect with rather than a random pretty picture.
People who only want a pretty picture can get free images anywhere for personal use and have it printed for themselves very easily. That has been the case for a very long time.
As others have said. Artists have always used the latest in technology to push the boundary of what they can create. The process never really mattered to them. It has always been about the end result and our ideas being represented with the vision we imagined.
So I think it's a very exciting time for artists.
But that is only my two cents.
I agree, a lot of the artists i know LOVE these AI tools- as it makes their job easier, from creation to inspiration.
And yeah, even graphic designers these days have easy tools for making logos, what was 2 decades ago a job for a pro with Photoshop is now something anyone can do with Canva, Kittl, Place it, etc...
Artists def have that extra marketing tool, I remember going into detail about it when i did the IG marketing series and one of the videos was just for artists- explaining how the main focus on the IG account should be them, behind the scenes, stages, etc.
I really do love your 2 cents :)
Thank you for this. I needed it
thank you. I've been in a panic about it. I'm turning 50 and relaunching my creative business after caretaking my parents and children. my heart sank to think now I have to compete with AI on top of all the other challenges. Your post made me feel better.
What ai do you use
So glad to see you are doing a video on it. I discovered a source for this kind of art a few days ago. It is fascinating, and it can provide some beautiful images, but I wish I had seen a video about it first, so thank you.
Which source did you discover? so many AIs out there :)
I like using Deep Dream Generator which uses both base images and styles as well as text-prompts. Also, if you want to make the images bigger to put on products, Affinity Photo does this by replacing missing pixels using AI (from what I understand). I've increased the size of some of my images and they look great!
Thanks
Hi, im using affinity photo too, but how do u enlarge the image without compromising the quality?
Can u please tell how to use this AI feature of affinity designer...
I've tried Vance AI to enlarge midjourney pictures with great results. I've heard good things about gigapixel too.
@@markotropoja1055
I use the desktop version of Vance AI (paid version). It let's you upscale to 40x without losing detail.
Hi Mey
I was just in the process of trying to figure out the files sizes of each platform you just saved me a lot of time and headache. Thanks ❤
There are so many comments here from people using a software to make the items larger, maybe that would help you as well :) but yeah, I was really trying to aim for the easiest thing to start with- as I am short on time and just wanted fast results
Freaking love you Mey! Your so awesome and love your videos! It's helped me alot on my Zazzle store!
Ohhhh I am so pleased to hear that ! What niche/style/products did you choose to start your Zazzle journey with ?
Great video and so very helpful. Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!!
Happy to hear that :)
Much anticipated:) Thanks for that!
Glad you liked it !
This was a great review of a complicated process. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Omg, just found your channel! Love the content. This was super helpful! TFS
Glad it was helpful! :)
Hello, this is the best vlog on capering AI on TH-cam. Thank you for the time it took to analyze the different AI programs.
Glad it was helpful!
I just found your channel and you are wonderful!! I have not even used AI of any kind yet and am just now going to explore. Thank you so much for your excellent helpful content!
Happy you liked this video !!
However,
If you look in the other comments you'll see other people also sharing their knowledge with Midjourney that can help you out
and also- CF Spark has changed since this video, and the changes were mentioned in this video -
th-cam.com/video/OVMB6mcgjYM/w-d-xo.html
That also covered other "news" in the whole creative online business industry :)
@@MeyTribe Thank you, Mey! I will check everything you mentioned!
Oh wow the image you created with mid journey is so pretty, thanks for sharing this mey, I’ve only ever used WOMBO dream AI
I guess I will have to try out that AI too! And thanks :)
Your NightCafe creations are stunning 😍
Thank you :)
Thanx so much for all you do. Very useful information Mey
Happy to help :)
My friend just told me the images she is creating are AI for her tarot deck - they are gorgeous, so I am now learning the way to go for me.
OMG I didn't realise NightCafe could go up to 8k x 8k THANK YOU 💜
After subscribing to Midjourney I made my own server in discord so that solved the issue of having to see everyone’s everything in my business. However, it still goes to the public/community gallery by default. So that’s what the $20 extra privacy is for. But I had to use a different program to blow up the pixels and DPI. After generating like 4,000+ images only one of them was cool enough to me to actually put on a canvas. I actually like how it turned out.
Nice! Did you use Topaz?
Thanks for sharing your experience using these AI apps. Glad you mentioned CF Spark tried this yesterday and hope it was going to be great. New to designing some of my prompts the art was really not good. Takes ages on some to download without credits.
Great video. I just wanted to let you all know that CF Spark allows you to pick from the following ratios: 1:1, 9:16, 2:3, 4:5, 3:2 and 16:9. My favorite is 4:5 (4096X5120 pixels). As for keeping your creations from being used by anyone on CF, you would just download your creation and then remove it from your listing. Viola! Now you have a copy and no one else can use it. I hope this helps.
Hi..Im new to this.. When we make our own AI Can we use these for POD? I noticed on other designers AIs it only says commercial use license.
This is exactly what I do. I was going to post that you just download the image like you do everything else on CF, and then remove it...but you've done the job! 🤣 Also...I saw a content creator do a video on Playground, which I haven't gotten a chance to play with yet.
@@msvee4026 Ah yes, I plan to check that out too.
@@Jayaluv854 commercial use means you can sell the images on physical products,digital products etc. So as long as you dont use any artists names or sny copyrighted trademarks in your prompt, you can sell them. I currently use nightcafe and starry ai for selling on products (commercial use)
@@musicwave8217 Thank you so much for the clarification.
I use small 512 AI renders to make parts of a painting then I photo bash them together in Affinity Photo for a concept to paint over. It's what I have done for years already using stock photos.
There is also something called outpainting in Dall-E that lets you extend the image outward in sections to make it larger. It creates more of the scene. But you will still need another AI to upscale it for print.
There are free versions of stable diffusion you can run on your own computer now. Some even work on a CPU so you don't need an expensive graphic card.
It does take much longer on a CPU and they are not the easiest to install. But free is free.
Sounds cool- using them in a collage of sorts ! Love it !
Thanks! Great video, very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
There were a lot of changes made to CF spark since that video, there was a "news" video covering these changes:
th-cam.com/video/OVMB6mcgjYM/w-d-xo.html
I used the canva AI and it created this drawing of a tower in space that looked like a rocket. I asked if for a mountain top wizard battle, lol. I then went to the pattern maker that you mentioned in another video and hovered over the top of the rocket looking tower and it made a nice repeating pattern. I used a few of the images to make some patterns.
Great idea!
If you're using them and generating patterns yourself that's a great way to be using their super tiny photos LOL
Wow, Mey, thanks for doing all this research for us.
Happy to do so, it was kinda fun
Dream by Wombo. Pixels are HD size, 1080 x 1920. Love your channel Mey; keep up the cool work!!
Really looking forward to this.
I was so looking forward to finding time to record this as well... I'm actually happy I didn't do it last week, as my favorite platform for AI got even better with half the price for their art... I'm so excited LOL
Very informative video . Thanks
I think most of the images are 72 dpi or 96 dpi although they are pretty large (4096px for square images). Do you think they print well on shirts?
Excellent video! Thank you!
fantastic content!..thank you...your criteria makes sense...
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video :)
Very informative. Than you May!
Good 411. I was looking at CF Spark and am glad I didn't jump. I will check out Night Cafe. Thanks so much!
I have a MidJourney subscription. It's fascinating watching MJ's development - it has a couple of test modes at the moment that give you different results from prompts, with one of them a photo mode. And they just brought in a remix option so you can tweak your creations. I figure that I'm going to have to invest in an upscaler like Lets Enhance or Topaz Gigapixel for individual images. There is something you can run on your pc that does it for free but I haven't been able to get it working yet. But for now I'm playing around with the MJ tiles option and using them with Zazzle's tiling function on products, which is fun. I do fear not having the imagination to come up with amazing prompts using the many variables - some of the images others are creating are mind-blowing :) There are lots of tutorials and guides out there though.
Yeah, i have heard MJ def changed. For me it was all about comfort, and maybe at this point- also wanting something without a large learning curve- so I can just do it 1-3 minutes a day and get results that I don't have to later enlarge somewhere else.
With Zazzle make sure that your initial tile is good enough for the size of the product, as Zazzle doesn't often give you DPI control or tell you if something is in good quality. I'd try ordering an item or two just to see it ends up looking well before investing the time in mass-creating (also, when you order you can have the actual item to photograph yourself :))
I am also trying to think of good prompts, maybe I will try and ask copyAI to come up with art AI prompts for me LOL
Something that may help is to send the MidJourney server a DM. Your results will still be public but you wont have to see other people’s results.
@@MeyTribe I make books for KDP and the only platform that gave me the confidence to be able to sell my AI generated products without being blocked by KDP is Creative Fabrica, which has full POD or POD licences, the rest I'm not sure. But their quality is very low and also they don't generate such good images or at least, they sometimes have more errors than other tools like MidJourney or Night Cafe. By the way, excuse my ignorance, what is DPI? (300 DPI) and what is Zazzle used for? I am learning a lot on your channel.🙂
Midjourney should begin making plans to raise their 25 free limit right away. As an alternative, AI technologies like Blue Willow will become more and more popular over time. Blue Willow, in my opinion, will be the one to take down MidJourney
Great video!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Been struggling to find my way between Canva, DALL E, and Affinity. None were meeting my newbie needs, and I thought I was just stupid.
Thank you Mey! I never realised Canva has AI tool. And it's free! I just made a bunch of very cool seamless patterns with it!
Yes, just a shame about the resolution and license limitations.
@@ellerussell9548 Did the pattern come off as actually seamless? I tried that a few times with seamless in the prompts even- but the result wasn't seamless, just a pattern.
Thank you for your helpful comments.
You are welcome!
Dope Content🤘🏼😎💯💧
Thank you
Glad you liked it!
I have a quick question if I use canva AI text image if I create a image through there can I use one of those images that I’ve created and put it on Etsy to sell on a canvas or some type of wall art I’m kind of confused on what is the yes and no’s to that.
I use also Photopea to increase resolution and size of my artwork (10000*10000px) OR 9000*9000px
Great video! Just one question, what is the preference pixel count or size for POD?
POD is not an item, it's a method of selling items. If you make a 5x5 inches sticker, 1500x1500 pixels would be great... If you wanna design a shower curtain- you'll need different dimensions.
There are over 1500 POD items, perhaps more... there's no 1 answer.
The pixel size for a product would be the size of the product, multiplied by the required DPI. So if you need to design something that is 20x20 inches, that requires a minimum of 230 DPI, you'll need 4600x4600 pixels.
Yeah i mean, whats the best size for selling pod stickers, thats what i mean since you talk about the sizes and that theyre not good, i was waiting for you to say then what is a good size.
@@artbleaugarciachan2783 I wasn’t talking about the sizes of the stickers, I was talking about the sizes of the images generated. (Which mostly be ok for some stickers)
Print on demand stickers that I’ve seen have about 8 different sizes…
Also, a lot of the info here changed , this is a very old video about AI art generators, most of them changed a lot since.
Thank you for the comparison. ❤ I didn’t know nightcafé and I will definitely try it out.
However I subscribed to midjourney 10 days ago and I am obsessed about it. I agree that the usability is not that easy and I had to watch several videos to get used to it although I am a nerd. 😂 Created 880 pictures till now and only about 4 or 5 different themes or prompts.
You get unlimited servertime in the so called relaxed mode, it’s a little slower but ok. For me it is necessary to work on an idea with several attempts (about 100 or so 🙈) for a picture I like. That means experimenting a lot with the different modi. Atm I’m having a lot of fun and I’m getting a lot of inspiration. 😊
Not sure yet how to use it for PoD. Only with private mode, I guess. I will try to upscale in Affinity Photo for larger items.
Yeah, I know MJ has so many more features than what i mentioned, BUT- again, as you said, what will you use it for with POD? size- problem LOL
Glad you're excited about NC now, i am super thrilled about them and in touch with them to get a contest for the channel's viewers :)
AI can repeat the upscale for images so the size doesn't matter so much. But it's best as just a reference to make art. For copyright uncertainty that covers your side as a derivative if the courts get crazy with AI law.
Hopefully in the future cc spark would give us the option to privatize our creations and to increase or decrease size. Or do a separate sign up for it, personal use vs commercial/business use. With options to share to your feed with /without the prompts used.
I mean after all-it is brand new so it’s practically beta. Can’t wait for them to improve it.
I don't what you are doing but my designs from Creative Fabrica Spark are fantastic and I can download them in high resolution. In fact my latest file is 13mb, clear as a bell so maybe they heard what you were saying. It's all in the prompts. If you know how to do prompts correctly you can get whatever resolution you want. It's fantastic. You can also download it in several sizes. I have created over 2000 images in the last 5 days and they are ALL high resolution.
Well, I totally agree... When you're commenting now- these are the options on CF Spark, but when I made this video- these options didn't exist, the only size available was 512x512 pixels, and CF told me they didn't know when that would change.
However, in the news report a month ago- th-cam.com/video/OVMB6mcgjYM/w-d-xo.html
it was updated :)
How can I get flat images, that I can vectorize, that will solve the upscaling problem?
Were you planning on having a vid on how to make a tarot deck with AI Art? I've always wanted to do that, but I don't have the artistic chops to do 78 images in a consistent theme.
I always take my mid journey design and in photoshop under image, I can change the size and not lose resolution. It can go as big as 50x62.
Sounds cool ! I saw many others commenting similar systems to enlarge photos.
I run Stable Diffusion on my local computer. They're getting it to work on very low end pc's now. So no risk of peopel taking your generations.
Also it has tiling for patterns.
Love your video - just wondering why don’t you increase the DPI yourself then increase the pixels?
Well, as I said at the beginning of the video- this comparison is based on my needs for the "end result" which are " using on IG, Using within small products, and using as inspiration. For the - the upscale of NC was the best for me, as well as Canva for a bit.
I do not use Photoshop, and maybe not "trust" manual DPI changes.
I also, many times, recreate the art myself, so the DPI is not important for me, only a general nice good size so i can see what I'm doing on procreate :)
I have seen many comments here from people using other softwares to enhance the DPI quality, and enlarge the photos.
@@MeyTribe many thanks for your reply. I have been changing the DPI myself then increasing the pixels using affinity designer
I’m thinking of setting up a Redbubble account and using my nightcafe designs on there. So with you using both I wondered why you used credits rather than resize yourself.
I hadn’t seen the other posts about resizing when I commented initially
Thanks for your informative videos 👍🏻❤️
@@alynewcastle Yeah, now the comments on re-sizing are rising, and so many people use so many different tools, it's amazing!
As for why I don't resize myself? I feel like I don't need to, as I am not using the AI 24/7 and what I get from the credits is so enough :) (or maybe I am just lazy LOL)
Thanks for the informative video. Your hair reminds me of cotton candy...SMILE!!!
Ohhhh thanks LOL
Was just thinking of going "back to black" for the winter, hope people here won't find me too boring LOL
Is there any AI that can use a custom piece of art and alter it? For example, if I had a custom piece of digital art of a spider made of rocks and its name was Rock Spider. Could I specify Rock Spider walking on Mars?
I love that you understand reading the fine print behind websites and ask business questions that matter. Half the people in this industry it seems could care less.
Couldn't care less= someone is at the point they could not care any less than they do
Could care less=Someone does not care, but they could care even less than they currently do.
Also we should be reading and looking up fine print too not just relying on the awesome content creators that assist us.
@@drjonesey5 Thanks for that clarification it’s well taken, the context is different.
I agree , the fine print is essential even if it’s cumbersome at times . It’s definitely a piece I don’t slack on, but it’s nice to see the topic addressed in videos as well.
I feel like many TH-camrs don't care if they say something that is illegal... I have seen TH-camrs tell people to get the CF membership for $1 first month, download as much as they want and then cancel the membership and use the items, which is totally illegal !! I just rather tell the truth and get less viewers than tell people a lie that makes them like me LOL
Thank you for this video
My pleasure :)
This is great thanks -- if you ever have a moment could you make a video showing how you modify an AI in Procreate - that would be amazing thanks! :)
Using an AI to make designs on procreate can be done in many different techniques. I mostly use the AI art as a base and trace and create on top of it.
There was a video I made on tracing and remaking a piece of clipart, using my favorite style on procreate, maybe it would be useful :
th-cam.com/video/TejsuZCBk58/w-d-xo.html
I also have a mid journey sub and for sells I convert it to vector clean it up, save it as SGV then I can use it to create my own design this works only with black and white. colored designs I use for inspiration vertorizing it. For upscale there are other software which you may must purchase
Sounds like you have an interesting system in place :)
I also re-create mine, work on the designs, and add/modify them into products... Though personally I found NC easier than MJ. Maybe I will give MJ a chance later though, it sounds interesting to explore it more :)
@@MeyTribe I also have stable defusion which is completely free there are different versions a browser one and UI on your PC. funnily they do different pictures.
@@dianajojic5189 I haven't checked that option... I feel like with MJ it was just such a hassle trying to find out about all these options... And def I was lazy in the process, as I wanted to find something good, usable, and easy for most people.
Glad seeing so many people here did a far along research than I did- figuring out their system.
I just found out this morning that Printful and Squarespace have partnered and can do POD right in your Squarespace website!!! Ermaaagurrrd LOL
Really? Just today ? I remember they announced the integration around August 2020...
I just started selling art on demand and this is the 1st I heard of AI art generators.
Hey Mey yup I just tried for fun ai on canva and was able to use it for free. Very interesting to say the least libra red 3d had some interesting pictures for you zodiac makers out there lol.
I have not played around with their 3D options much, I think i will do that today !
If you want simple terms of service and unlimited pics - Stable Diffusion. Installs locally on your computer and you can do whatever you want with the images. They are yours.
Great video ty I will put this to work and night cafe is great I skip some days collect the credits everyday then go downtown on the designs. fabrica gives you freebies as well but I think it gives you a certain amount for free I think I got to that limit and have no idea if it is just a one time thing or it keeps going. have no idea how to use mid journey I tried and just did not get it lol. Like I said below kittl needs to have one of these on there sight.
Hi Mey! One thing I don’t understand is the Ai in creative fabrica once you create it and then it goes to their site and everyone can use it? Is this how it is? Thanks
Ok yes exactly, it’s kind of not clear if when you create everyone can use it…. I don’t know how I feel about that….
the limitations of upscaling any images from AI becomes a non-issue, if you implement a separate upscaler, like " chaiNNer " in that case the only size limitation becomes the computer's specs that you are working on.
As most things go in both the art and POD world I'm sure at some point AI will become available to use, it's the way things are headed. Thanks for the reviews.
Def the way things are headed. Not just with AI, also with functioning robots... There are many countries now where a robot serves your food in a restaurant, cutting down (firing) waiters... They say that in about 50 years from now almost 60% of the population would be unemployed as they won't be needed as a work force anymore... interesting times are ahead of us
@@MeyTribe the same was happenning during industrial revolution. Nothing new. People has been fired back then, but shortly there was a need for even more employees. Of course first hit was the worst as the unemployed rised quickly. Some people were even destroying steam machines or other used back then. But guess what - the same people complaining first - found a new jobs few laters (of course if lucky - back then few months of employed could be death sentence). The AI is actually bringing in more opportunities, People are just afraid of a new tech as we hate changes.
@@HCforLife1 I forsee AI in the art world if left unchecked could essentially give a single person the power a show runner has with a full staff. In just a few years. I could easily see AI used to fill in your skill set gaps and make a whole show. They already have voice modulators in early use cases that are almost deep fake level ready. Images are only getting better google showed a textti video that was rather good a few weeks back and Dream booth oy released about a month ago lets u train the AI to have consistent repeating characters. Plus thr first one considered good Dall-e2 just came out within this year. Its all extremely new and progressive rappidly every week new twchniques come out. Already seen one people incorrecting it into visual effects
Stable Diffusion - completely free and can be installed locally.
@Mey Aroyo what can you say about OpenAI DALL-E ?
I don't think I said anything about them in this video, so not sure how to answer. Do you have a timestamp of me talking about them ?
Can you do a video about pixels, sizing etc for those of us whom are just becoming interested in print on demand designing? Please and thank you 😊
I think I have over 100 videos in which I mention pixel sizes, and that’s based on the item you wanna sell and the platform.
I don’t think it’s possible to make a video on pixels for all platforms, as for example- zazzle has 1500 products…
Is there a specific product/platform you’re interested in ?
With that said, beginning of 2023 there will be full tutorials for multiple platforms.
I have a Midjourney subscription and use it daily, I can resize it to most any size I want as it comes to me as a png. I have taken them to 15000 without a problem. I think it depends on what you are looking for in results and for me Midjourney is worth every penny. Yes I do the private thing. They can still get the prompt but they can't get the picture. I use my designs on my own products as well so I know they work. I liked this comparison though thanks for all you do for all of us and your energy keeps us going.
Well, first, this video was made almost a year ago (crazy that AI art has been in our lives for so long...)
I am def using different tools now, though still- hating the discord thing for MJ - I just really dislike Discord in general haha
I didn't know MJ can make files that big... or are you using another app for that?
I tried some "upscale with best resolution" apps, most reduced the resolution, basically did for me what I could do by just making the pixel size larger.
As I said, this video is sooo old
One of the things I love doing now most is a combo of Lexica and Kittl
Making the small resolution images with Lexica, and then vectorizing them on Kittl, this could def be something cool to do with MJ photos, or even just a cool tool to learn about, as Lexica def has a unique style
th-cam.com/video/kQY9wSKLZbA/w-d-xo.html
I also made a video recently using the 3 AI programs I use the most these days, lexica, NC and CF -
th-cam.com/video/4aSGtnZsWn8/w-d-xo.html creating art parody for public domain paintings (i know some viewers who do that on MJ)
And thanks for the complos, so cool getting a comment on a video from almost a year ago, made me smile :)
@@MeyTribe well I replied to the wrong video LOL . I do use other programs and I use Paint Shop Pro for most of it. I will have to pay attention to where I write stuff LOL I Watched the newest now this morning and that is where I thought this was going. Oh well I still love your energy. Thanks for all you do
@@lindacronk986 No worries, it actually happens a lot - you're def not alone haha
Beautiful ❤
Just FYI, Mey, the automatic video captions are writing the word ”air” every time you say “AI art”. TH-cam captioning thinks that you are spelling the word ”air”. Could be confusing for those who rely on captions to understand videos.
I have never used the captions before, and I guess it can be confusing, though I'm not sure how to fix that... These are captions made by TH-cam. For a while I wanted to add captions myself, but that process would mean I would be posting about 3-5 videos per month + everything I make from TH-cam would go to pay the person adding the captions, so it's not realistic for me at this point.
I will try and see if there's anything I can do with the automatic captions...Thanks for letting me know :)
I use AI art like I do with any AI tool. It’s a starting place that I can then edit with Photoshop or use as an inspiration when I have a concept but stuck on coming up with ideas. I don’t see it as a complete solution.
There's a tool called ChaiNNer to upscale images using AI, but you need a Nvidia GPU and to download the AI models for upscaling.
Sounds doable but complex and time consuming. I feel like I would def do that if I hadn't found Night Cafe. Their size is good enough for the items I wanna design... But def good advice for the rest here, so thanks
I love to listen you. I think you are a psychologist you speak and make to listen till end
That's sweet, thanks :)
I did study a bit of psychology, and the other channel I am working on is def a result of that.
If the image is small and flat, can you vectorize, then enlarge?
I saw a lot of people in the comments mentioning using programs to make the image bigger, I myself don't do that (yet) so I'd advise checking the other commenters (sorry i don't have a definitive answer on that)
You can also add to an aspect ratio by typing --ar wallpaper and its pretty big.
On Midjourney ?
@@MeyTribe yep, just type in --ar wallpaper
@@MeyTribe or --ar 9:16 ect.. Aspect ratio
Can I sell it on print-on-demand websites for example red bubble or zazzle and have the logo on it, or can I remove it?
That depends on each AI's licencing. from what I know speaking to Night Cafe, and from the new clear terms of CF- yes. You can use even as is (even though I sometimes modify colors or combine with other creations...)
From Canva ? probably not as the size is super tiny and terms are unclear.
Not sure what you mean by having a logo on it, so far none of my creations featured a logo of the tool..
Have you tried Wombo AI? I've made some really cool images, but still working through how to make them useable for POD.
No, I haven't ! But I will def try them out !
What's the size that you can download the images in ?
@@MeyTribe 1080x1920px with the paid version (it’s about $30 for a year). I think smaller with the free version. I’ve been using Photopea to crop and vectorize them - mixed results. : )
Hi, I’ve tried their free designs but they need accreditation which is impossible if using on a mug or T-shirt - although possible for notebook etc on KDP
You can earn credits for Voting on Midjourney as well as have it DM you directly.... to solve some issues. It's also highly social but seemed you we're one of these turned off by Discord. I am good with discord so no issues here. I had a Stable AI on my computer which is great and wasn't a big fan of Night Cafe myself, thanks for some good details!
Ohhh that's so cool ! Nice getting all these cool tips from Viewers! Maybe I will give them a chance once I'm done having so much fun with Night Cafe LOL
@@MeyTribe you should, this Newest Version of Mid journey is super awesome! 🤔 MJ has it's quirks but seems they all do pretty strongly.
For me the best way to ue AI for art is for inspiration. I love to use Craion. I got such cool art. I think that the best way to use AI is to give us inspiration to do our own art.
Do any of the AI offer annual subscriptions, as opposed to monthly?
There are so many AIs out there... Out of what i have seen I just saw monthly memberships... (Canva AI is free...)
Has to be one of the following.
Midjourney, Craiyon, Artssy, Nightcafe Studio, DALL E2, Stable Diffusion/Lexica, Photosonic, Hugging Face
My favorite is DALL E2.
You were right with my fav being Night Cafe LOL Haven't tried DALL E2, maybe I will try and make a follow up video :)
Have you tried the Wonder app? Thoughts?
Nope, haven't!! But I think i have seen ads for them on IG... I guess there's one more thing to try on my break LOL
@@MeyTribe so far I like it 😊 I'd love your opinion!
Can we use Ai images use for pod websites like Redbubble etc.
As I mentioned in the video- it all depends on the individual platform that you use to generate the design.
The platform needs to have a large enough file size + to be right for commercial use. My conclusion on this video was that I prefer Night Cafe, after seeing the sizing options, and speaking to them about licencing.
In this video:
th-cam.com/video/OVMB6mcgjYM/w-d-xo.html
I was going over updates from CF spark in terms of sizing, but their licencing is still super confusing.
I use stable difussion running directly on my own hardware. Also the 512×512 is perfect for print on demand. You just have to know how to change resolution post generation. Which all you need is a photoshop program like adobe photoshop or gimp. Open your 512x512 image export it as a vector image like a pdf open the pdf version change to desired resolution and export the image in desited format like jpg or png. By converting to a vector vefore upscaling you prevent quality losss. To really use ai art successfully you need some legit photoshop skills or it just wont work super well.
Thanks for the detailed overview- sounds fascinating !! I will try and see if i can do the same thing with clip studio paint!
@@MeyTribe should be able to theoretical with any image. By converting an image to a vector graphic like a pdf the software understands the dimensional space between pixels and auto fills in the spaces. A png or a jpeg I believe is a rastor file is what its calledand they loose quality as they are enlarged but are easier to use.
@@MeyTribe also stable diffusion run on my hardware is free to run and use and the liscense seems rather clear.you can also export images largest I've done is 1024x1024 but processig such larges images is much slower and harder on the graphics card. This is why so many do the 512x512 because its easier on the hardware. Gimp the image editor I change anything I need in is also open free software too.
Love kittl I do lots of designs on there they need to make an ai generator tool on that platform.
I am obsessed with Kittl too !! I will tell them they need an AI tool when I speak to Drew next week, might be funny to see his reaction :)
I've tried MidJourney and the learning curve is too much for me. Nightcafe seems to simplify the process along with all the other perks. Great video explaining it all.
I am reading the comments here of other MJ users, being able to generate things better than I could- and it directly coming from the same reason- the learning curve.
At the end of the day, I was trying to learn how to use MJ better, but the minute I found Night Cafe- i realized i'd rather use their system,. much easier for me, and great results :)
amazing video.....but the entire time i was wondering how you cut the neck and arms of your cute top! LOL
Well, I didn't cut the arms... it's a tshirt, and the neckline I just cut with scissors:)
@@MeyTribe thank you!
I love AI and I've made a few items for sale.
These pictures that I take from this site mean, can I sell them on print-on-demand websites, and do I charge for them? Are there copyrights on them, and how can I remove the logo in order to sell them
I'm still not sure what logo you're talking about... what tool did you use that had a logo on it ?
Oh for Midjourney, if you go to the website you can go straight to the creations you’ve made on Discord just by clicking a link. :)
I saw that option, however what bothered me was seeing other things pop up in my "creation" process. And the resolution was still very low. What do you do to increase the image quality for art generated by MJ?
Is 8000 by 8000 good to place on duvet covers please?
I would say not really, depends on the DPI requirements of the printing company.
The issue I have with Creative Fabrica AI is that it won’t let you upscale without sharing. If I just want to experiment to create a new design, I can’t unless I choose to share it with the Creative Fabrica community. I understand That this is their business model, but I would gladly pay more just to be able to create and upscale without sharing!
What do you mean you can't upscale without sharing? You can't upscale at all (even they told me that the only option is 512PX...)
CFSpark's subscription currently allows you to publish with a choice to share or not share your prompt and you can then download the files bigger than the 512pix size.
With the recent explosion of AI, I'd say it's a matter of (probably very short) time before you can print any size, any style, anything at all. So "no AI is going to replace an artist" YET.
Yeah, I see more and more AI apps having better sizes... But yeah, "replacing" artists is such a large concept, artists still exist, for many things that machines have been creating for decades.
@@MeyTribe It may be a large concept, but I'm a tiny piece of that, and to me it is kind of devastating. I've started with premade book cover creation recently (thanks, rona), and I'm just kind of posting anything I can produce on the site I'm using, picking up my skills as I go. Putting myself into client's shoes, I would choose AI over a photoshop artist in a heartbeat. No tedious communication needed, no trying to get your specific idea across and rejecting various designs, no waiting for a week or two. AI can do faster, cheaper, and (compared with my skill level at least) better. And imagine the possibilities, just playing with it, turning your idea this way and that, getting results you hadn't even imagined (I know, I tired it). Not to mention all the videos popping up on 'how to use AI to do xyz', which are basically instructions on how to cut the human artist out of the process.
But you can't argue with progress (definition of cheaper, faster, better), and for every artist who feels threatened by that there are hundreds who will benefit, and for every person who argues 'it's not art' (imagine a mocking voice here), there will be hundreds who disagree or at the very least don't give a damn.
I'll keep going for now, I'm already thinking of branching out, playing around with designing fonts and thinking about getting back into drawing to maybe produce some vector designs, maybe try to get onto creative fabrica (this is how I found your vids, which are great btw💕), but I can't help but feel that my future prospects as an artist of any kind are sort of bleak.
@Maya Mey Aroyo - Finally remembered to add name of possible Android alternative to Kitty: it is called Krita. I know ZERO about it, just saw it for a min on YT.
To Kitty? or to procreate? I will check it out :)
@@MeyTribe - sorry for slow response. To Procreate. (Face palm at my original comment - what was I thinking typing in Kitty????)
I used alot night café creator and I just open a new RB shop only for AI designs. i love doing AI very much. you get free credit everyday. i have 3 accompt. with 3 email different
Speaking of Canva's confusing terms of usage, I recently had a design taken down that was made with one of Canva's free elements. I thought they were okay to use for POD. apparently, not anymore
Yup, I know, it's getting so confusing to know what you can or cannot use.
It's also with their music. When I first saw they had music, i had a pro account, and I used a piece of the music in a video transition on this channel- got a copyright claim, was shocked!! I sent that music company my deepest apologies, I was crazed from worrying and feeling bad. It took me an hour to find the right document on Canva that finally said i couldn't have used that music for pretty much ANYTHING- so why was that even there??
I am building up on my next video, scheduled for the 28th to compare Canva with Kittl, and this is def one of the things I will be mentioning there!
Which is crazy since they help folks generate company logos??
pay the mid journey premium and you don't need to worry about the limit its high as and you can still do it once you run out its just slower
I would not use AI anymore for any commercial anything since I know/learned they just steal other people's images etc. to make your composite. I do use the AI's just to have fun and get some laughs. It is a great stress relief in general and great for breaking the monotony of creating... - Heidi
I have been searching at times to see if the design they had created was looking like something else, and mostly I found that it didn't. Even with the portraits on NC I couldn't find these "people" anywhere... But that was purely my research and can vary from creation to creation. I do get the point though, truly. For most - I simply use it as inspo or to retrace in my own style.
Blue Willow is the best free AI art generator to me. It produces more realistic arts and more importantaly it's completely free
I’ll check them out !
@twitterglobalarmy I used Blue Willow and there is no doubt i's a strong competitor of Midjorney. Blue Willow ecently launched V2 with a brand new model upgrade. Now I got more better-quality images with more aesthetic outputs
I tried using the AI gen on Creative F, but the first time all I got were 3 bad pbotos for 'beautiful life-like mermaid with long white hair sitting on a rock'. The second time, 3 really bad cartoons when I specified, 'beautiful mermaid with long white hair graphic'
Hey Mey! I just discovered another print on demand company, Print Aura.. have you ever used it or heard of it? Prinify's website was comparing it to Printful and Printify and the website looks a little sketchy to me. Just wondering if you know about it or have used their services
