Heya! Yeah, speakerjohnash and I are both beta testers for Midjourney, and a lot of the things I've been posting lately are made using that. I saw what speakerjohnash said about midjourney vs mindseye being different and he's right--I'm 99% that midjourney is going to be in private beta for a while while they figure out the pricing tiers, although I have seen on the discord that they hope to offer grants and things for artists who can't afford the service.
I really hope you get into the beta--I know the list is absurdly long right now, but if you dm me some prompts you'd like to try I can run them and send them back to you?
ETA: I can also point you towards a bunch of other AI resources and I'm always thrilled to talk about pros/cons of the various methods, prompt formatting, weights, etc. And I love your Bob Ross jellos!!
