I created this book with an assist from AI (Midjourney). Sounds easy, right? If you watch some videos on YouTube about the process, they make it look super easy. But it was more difficult and took longer than I had anticipated, even with my experience as a graphic designer and artist.
Needless to say, I had to learn a lot to get this book completed. But I loved every moment of it! Here are the tools and resources I used to get it done:
- YouTube (to learn)
- Discord
- Midjourney
- Affinity Photo
- AI. Image Enlarger
- Procreate
- Creative Fabrica
- Canva
- Amazon KDP
- Friends and family (to review)
The thing that took the longest was generating the images using Midjourney and manipulating the selected images using Affinity and Procreate. I didn’t have to do the latter, but the raw images from Midjourney were not up to my standards; they had shading, odd glitches, and were weird in spots. Below is a time-lapse video showing part of the work I did using Procreate:
