 Hello everybody, welcome back to another Mid Journey and Blue Willow tutorial. In this one, I'm going to compare the two. Blue Willow is a free AI image generator, or AI art generator, at least it's currently free, and Mid Journey is a paid one. Now Mid Journey, up until recently, you could use it and get 25 free images or so, but now it's gone. So now I want to compare the free version and the paid version, and you guys can make your own choices. To do that, what I've decided to do is I'm going to run a random prompt generator, and I'm going to use chatGPT. So here's my random prompt. I basically told chatGPT that you will now act as a prompt generator. I would like five random detailed prompts I can use for AI image and art generation. Please use photography examples as well as art examples, and it ran it and it gave me these five here. So here are five randomly generated prompts. Now I'm going to put them into both Mid Journey and into Blue Willow, and then we're going to compare them. So let's go ahead and do that. Alright, so I'm going to go back to Discord, and before I hit the button and do all that, do note that on this one here, in this one it is my Mid Journey or MidJ with Curtis, I've got the Mid Journey bot in here. In this one here, this is Blue Willow, and I've got the Blue Willow bot right here. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to start with Mid Journey. This is the paid one, of course. I'm going to go forward slash imagine, and then I'm just going to paste that prompt in. Now I'm going to switch over to Blue Willow, and I'm going to go forward slash imagine, and I'm going to paste that prompt in. Now when this is done, I'm going to go through all five of them, and then when they're done, I'm going to show you and we can look at the results. Alright everybody, welcome back. So we've gone ahead and run it, and here's what we got. Let's look at Mid Journey here, and then we'll look at Blue Willow, and keep in mind Mid Journey's paid and Blue Willow is free, at least at the moment. Okay, so the first prompt was generate a landscape photograph that captures a serene beauty of a misty mountain range at sunrise. The photograph should convey a sense of calmness and tranquility, while also highlighting the majestic nature of the mountains. Consider using warm, soft lighting, and muted colors to create a dreamy, ethereal effect. That is a hell of a prompt. Let's see what we got. This is Mid Journey, and I'm not going to lie, this is pretty damn good. I mean, these use soft muted colors. It pretty much gives you warm, soft lighting. Look at that. I mean, it looks dreamy, ethereal. I'm going to say that it did a great job. Of course, this is the paid version. But let's go ahead and compare it to Blue Willow. And here's what we got with Blue Willow. I'll click on this so the third one doesn't make much sense at all. It looks like a peephole or something. But the second one and the third one, you know, it's a little bit sharper. I mean, I don't think it has the same dreamy, quite as soft effect. So I'm going to say that I think Mid Journey's a little better. Not going to lie. But the second and third and the fourth one here are very usable. So Blue Willow and Mid Journey have both done a great job. Let's go ahead and look at the second one here. The second one is a digital painting with an otherworldly cityscape, cityscape full of towering skyscrapers, flying cars, advanced technology, holy smokes. Yeah, right out of the future here, sci-fi feel to it, futuristic, vivid colors, and intricate details. So yeah, that's quite a neon holographic displays and high-tech gadgets. Holy smokes. Okay, so let's see what we got here. Okay, so we've got some real sci-fi looking stuff, Blade Runner, but with some like really nice purples and pinkish colors. Kind of pastelish almost, but like very, very high contrast. I quite like it. It looks really good. Let's see and compare that to Blue Willow. Blue Willow has done a different look here. I'm going to also say that this is quite good, but this has a little bit more of a abstract art look. And if I'm being honest, it looks like kind of like what you would have gotten from Mid Journey version four. We're now Mid Journeys in version five. So I'm not saying that Blue Willow is using old models, but this is a little different. And overall, I'm going to give a bit of an edge to the Mid Journey, but again, these are very usable in many cases. So let's go back and look at the third one here. So the third one here is a portrait photograph that captures the raw emotion and vulnerability of the subject should be shot in black and white with a focus on close up shots that reveal the subject's facial expressions and body language. Consider using dramatic lighting and shadows to enhance the mood and atmosphere of the atmosphere of the photograph. So I'm going to be honest, Mid Journey is literally the standard in terms of creating, you know, like photographic from like prompt to photography. It is the standard and holy smokes has it done a great job, especially when you look at the top left one. And I mean, they're all really, really good, but the lighting is a little bit hard on the second one in my opinion, but just amazing. Like you really, it's shocking that these people do not exist. Anyways, that has done a great job. Let's see how Blue Willow handled it. Let's move down here and here's Blue Willow's take on it. And I'm not going to lie, Blue Willow has crushed this. I did not expect this at all. This is amazing. I'm not going to say it's quite as good as Mid Journey, but for a free holy smokes like, I don't know, these look like real people, real photographs. Amazing. Blue Willow, if you're looking for image from prompt to image and you're considering using Blue Willow, that is absolutely outstanding. So I'm going to give Mid Journey an edge, but Blue Willow is fantastic. Let's look at one more here. Create a mixed media artwork that combines the elements of painting, drawing and digital design. Should feature a whimsical, playful theme with bright, cheerful colors and intricate patterns. Wow. ChatGPD gave you quite a mouthful incorporating a variety of textures and materials, watercolor paints, colored pencils and digital brushes. Holy smokes. All right. So let's see what we got here. Okay. This is pretty darn cool. This is like, it looks like a mix of, yeah, I mean, I guess a mix of like some watercolor type painting with like pencil crayons and holy smokes. The patterns are nice, really nicely done. Let's see what Blue Willow gave us. Okay. Here we come down. So this is quite different. This is basically not giving us, it's giving us like drawings, like a hard drawings of like particular like people or art. So honestly, I think mid-journey took the prompt a little better. But again, I mean, for some people, this type of artwork is what you are looking for. So there you go. This is a comparison between the mid-journey, which is paid and it no longer has a free trial and Blue Willow on a prompt by prompt basis. There was one more here that we ran. I'll quickly look at it. Generate a landscape photograph. Okay. Rugged coastlines. Looks really, really good. This is Blue Willow. And you know what? To be fair, this is really nice. Like this, this looks really believable. Let's see what mid-journey gave us while we're here. A little different. But honestly, I would say I would almost give the advantage to Blue Willow. Like this looks like where I live. This is kind of like where I live. Like we've got islands and we've got all this nice, like the great looking sky here. I give Blue Willow the tick on this one. So anyways guys, that's it for this video. Thanks for watching. If you want anything, let me know. Be back soon.
