 Hello everybody, welcome back to another mid-journey version 4 tutorial and this one going to show you how to make awesome stickers just like this and then I'm going to show you how to upload them and sell them if you want to make a few bucks maybe get some passive income going on no guarantees I'm not one of those guys that's going to tell you you're going to make $83,000 a day on using mid-journey while you're sitting around in your pajamas eating rice krispies none of that nonsense there's this is a way for you to make a few bucks and you know what enhance your AI art skills and you know I'm going to go through it step by step every step of the way so let's just start this off and let's start somewhere up here the first thing is you'll notice here as I just started making some stickers and these are cute right but here's the interesting thing I actually made them in concept art from animal crossing so why did I do both why did I do dogs and bulldogs in this case I a I'm a dog dad I'm not a dog owner I'm a dog dad there's a huge difference people either don't like dogs and their psychopaths and you just ignore them and and just you know delete them off your friends list there's people that don't mind dogs and they're just whatever regular people and there are like dog owners dog dads like me people that love their dog would do anything for them why does that matter because if you're looking to make money selling stuff a dog or a pet or something like that is a great way to make a few bucks because people love their animals they also love their video games so keep that in the back of your head that's why we're kind of going down this path as well as me being a dog dad so here we go to make stickers that we can sell all you got to do is type in forward slash imagine and then in this case let's go to english bulldog because we did enough french bulldog english bulldog comma sticker comma vector comma white background doesn't always do it but it most of the time it does and the reason why is we want to have the ability to sort of take the animal out of the background we want to be able to take this pull the pull the popper out from the background of the sticker and then just hit enter that is the basic if you want to go further there is a resource that I've got open here for you let's go here this is the v4 mid-journey reference sheet this is a very interesting sheet and I'll make it available it's free to use it has all kinds of stuff in it it has four examples let's go to the left side we're going to start off here by characters if I was to write character by if this is just if I don't pardon me if I don't type in anything it'll give you a default character in this type of style but if I have a particular artist or maybe I have a somebody that makes comic books a comic book artist a painter something like that you can go through here and look around and see what you got and if you like a certain style like for example I did one by Esau Andrews I liked his style the way he made these a little creatures so what did I do I went into back into my little mid-journey here in discord and then I said white I did character concept art from where where the heck is Esau Esau should be right here somewhere Esau Andrews so we did it but it also drew it the sticker in his style if you have a particular favorite video game just sort of slide around down here on the bottom and go to games and check this out you know what if you like animal crossing or if you like borderlands or bioshock or cuphead whatever you can make stickers in that style one of my favorites is cuphead and my extra big favorite that did the best ones actually was this one here hollow night I did it in the style of so I took right here you'll see here in this column character concept art from hollow night that's it so all I gotta do is go in here and type in white background comma character concept art from hollow night hit enter and I'm going to get hollow night style just like this look at how cool this is right this is a great looking sticker I would buy that sticker let me tell you if I saw a french bulldog biting a sword it looks like or bringing a sword in the battle that's three dollars that I'm going to pay for I'm going to buy that and it's going to go on my it's going to go in my truck camper okay look at this one this one is kind of cuphead I believe yeah cuphead but these are awesome so keep that in mind you can do that so I'll make that available now once you've got something that you like I mean look how good these are already turning out let's see what we get here and then I'm going to switch over to red bubble okay I love this this bottom right one and this bottom left one or I mean even the friggin attack hippo with the triceratops horn okay you know what these are awesome okay so there we go so anyways I could do this all day let's go back make some money so what the next step is you click on the image like this and then you just save it so I'm going to save this image to my pictures file I probably already saved it no no okay there you go now let's go back to the uh programming so again mid-journey and keep in mind if you have you can look up different types of creatures if you want if you want to look at like for example you know wanted to do it in a certain painting style da Vinci durr all them they're all in there so anyways the next step is we're going to go over to red bubble and red bubble is right here is at red bubble redbubble.com wow that was a mouthful and then here we go you got to sign up for it you can't just you got to make a few bucks so you got to go through about about 60 seconds of sign up you know put your name in and stuff like that but what you want to do is click down here once you've got your signed up and you've connected your bank or your paypal so you can make money sell your art just like I did click on that and then now we're just going to go to create products add designs and this is where we start making our money now it says here we recommend high resolution jpeg png or gift files with a minimum of 1000 pixels resolution okay no problem the default that we got for version 4 of mid journey is 1000 and like 24 pixels so it just barely made the grade or 1048 so what i'm going to do now is i'm going to go to image upscaler.com i'll put the link below and i'm going to grab that cool little image i made there so which was the one that we liked we liked the let's go with the one with this guy holding the sword okay so i'm going to grab this one and then i'm going to drag and drop it right here and you'll see here that i've selected 400 and then i'm just going to click on start and then once it's ready i'm just going to go ahead and download it so i did this one earlier and now this one is running and we're going from you know 1000 pixels or whatever to 4000 pixels and it should take a couple more seconds i'll download this one while i wait for the other one just so i can show you and then okay presto that should have just downloaded but whatever um okay well whatever let's just go right click save image as and then we're just going to put this one in the pictures and we'll just use whatever nonsense uh file name they gave us click out of that one if i want the next one that i just did download it here we go right click on it save image as and we'll call it hollow whatever something like that we'll go quickly through this i don't want to bore you and then presto out we go now we've upscaled the images we've got the designs we want next step we're going to go to photopeia and you'll see here that i did it already with this one but i'm going to walk you through the step what we want to do is we just want to take away the background so like that white in the background we just want the sticker we don't want the the background so all i got to do is grab the image that we're going to do so i believe we went with hollow let's go with this guy here and drag and drop it in well actually you know what let's just start let's start fresh i'm going to start fresh with a new photopeia because that way you can see exactly what happens so just type it in photopeia or photopeia and then go to photopeia.com if you have photoshop photoshop is better for this don't get me wrong but this is a free tool so i'm just going to show you how to do it all for free grab hollow drag and drop it right there and presto here we go what we want to do is we want to get rid of this white background now all you need to do is just go over here to the left side and grab this the magic wand tool and when you do that you'll see here that it's made a selection around everything except the sticker now just go up to edit and just cut it and boom it's gone the background's gone now go to edit and we're going to go actually let's just go in uh file we're going to go to and we're going to go to what's the best way to do this we're going to go to file and we're just going to export it we're just going to go file export as png i just want to it's a little different than what i'm used to in photoshop so here we go and when we zoom out we're going to see that this is 4000 by 4000 pixels so we've got a high resolution version we're going to click on save and it's just going to automatically download right here i'm going to click on it show it in finder put it in my downloads file i'm going to move it to my pictures and there we go we've now got this fancy looking hollow thing and it is 4000 by 4000 so let's see what we got now we've got it now we're going to go back into red bubble all right thank you very much photopeia great work back into red bubble upload our stuff so we're going to go grab that image and it's a png the png always has a transparent background we're going to drop it right there and you'll see that it's uploading and then we're going to call this angry angry frenchie or whatever yeah angry frenchie and then we're going to tag it french bulldog hollow knight hollow knight sorry uh sword frenchie you know just go nuts and then and then just type in angry angry french bulldog with a cute face and a sword defending his kingdom whatever who cares we're going to have some fun with it click enter or don't even click enter just go down here

here it is on a chiffon top whatever the heck that is and you can go ahead and click on them and resize them here's the ones we were making stickers and magnets and this is what it would look like apply the changes replace the image you can go in there and just make some adjustments a mouse pad that's a great mouse pad that'd be a great pillow damn but this is how you do it guys and then once
