Hello, everyone! I've been exploring various websites to find art and some ai tools for my novel, and I have to admit that those sites offering prompt-based generators are often unreliable. However, I've discovered that MidJourney is truly the best platform for practically any type of art, including landscapes, 3D, Maps and character portraits. The only downside is that it requires payment, which can be frustrating.

If you're a bit tech-savvy and have a powerful desktop, I recommend trying Stable Diffusion. You can easily run it on your setup, and you can find builds on platforms like GitHub and Hugging Face. These platforms have trained some reliable builds based on Stable Diffusion, and there are also official ones available if you're interested. It's worth giving them a try if you can.

Other websites that offer similar services either charge money or provide subpar-generated images. Personally, I wasn't satisfied with their results. However, if you're looking to create high-quality art without any hassle, I strongly recommend going with MidJourney and paying for their services. I can personally vouch for their fantastic artwork. Alternatively, you can join MidJourney and communicate with other users to request permission to use their generated images. Please note that the response you receive will depend on the individual, but I believe many would be willing to agree.

If you're tech-savvy, you can also opt for Stable Diffusion. Run it on your own device and create as much art as you want. There's a large user community supporting this platform, and the best part is that it's completely free. They create builds specifically tailored to characters or different art styles, allowing you to choose and download the ones you need. However, keep in mind that open-source software usually has a learning curve. I recommend researching and understanding the process before delving into your system's command prompt. Take your time to find and download the necessary files, and then run the system.

I hope this information proves helpful to the community. If any of you know of any sources that generate free, usable art, please share them here. It would greatly benefit me and other people searching for similar resources. Peace!


Hope this helps :blob_cookie:

I heard Midjourney is the best site for AI images right now but they don't provide a free demo anymore.

NovelAI has been kinda shitty for me lately so I'm kinda thinking on switching. But Midjourney doesn't do NSFW, right?

My computer is too slow to use StableDiffusion unfortunately.

Got any example of anime art using Midjourney?

It's cool. It's cool.
Naah brh .. text to text is pretty good nowadays, text to image is also running well, compiling images to kinda making 2d video type thinggy is doable .. some 3D staff too .. mm but to create a novel, manga, and other creative kinds of stuff are pretty stretch tho .. wait for a couple of more years for that .. even then how much US people are scared of AIs I generally doubt it's not gonna happen soon ..:blob_cookie::blob_cookie:


nah nah bro nahh if I was an ai first thing I would do will be to reincarnate all of ya to other realities, this one is kinda bland .. :blob_evil: :blob_evil:
Why are you looking suspiciously and eating cookies :blob_blank: Eldritch is talking nonsense, as usual, don't mind him, devouring realities are making him mad about some stuff :blob_unamused:.. share some cookies with me :blob_evil:.. creative stuff is hard need sugar in my system :blob_melt:.. gib me a piece ..:blob_reach:

My toddler doesn't give me much of a choice, so yes. I will wait.
You have a little one .. :blob_aww: I hope that your little one is keeping you on your toes, :blob_happy: and I also wish for their good health. :blob_melt: May the little troublemaker enjoy plenty of cookies too. :blob_cookie::blob_cookie: .. Gib the little one some from me .. ?

And, AI in general, will require a significant amount of time to become widespread and accepted. It needs extensive work from dev's to reach a level where it can be widely embraced. People tend to have a mix of positive and negative biases towards it, much like many other things in our society. But as a new concept, it will naturally take time to become commonplace, and people need time to fully embrace it in their lives.

The impact it has made, although gaining popularity, isn't necessarily favourable for many individuals. However, we will integrate AI into our lives as seamlessly as we did with smartphones, the internet, and similar technologies, it will take time but eventually happen. :blob_evil_two:

If you're paying for AI, you're getting scammed.

The quality might be slightly lower, but as long as it stays free, you can just keep making more until you get good results. Even if the site you use wises up and realizes they can lock their content behind a paywall and get rich (Lexica...), there will be five more sites giving theirs away for free.

That's just my thinking though. Do what you want.
