BlueWillow is the "free Midjourney alternative" to generate images.
Meet BlueWillow, the fresh face in AI-generated imagery! It's here to make beautiful AI images accessible to everyone with ease. Just an FYI: BlueWillow is only accessible through Discord (just like Midjourney), so make sure youâve signed up and have verified your Discord account before getting started. Once youâve got an account, getting up and running couldnât be easier. If youâve not used something similar before, make sure to dive into the âgetting-startedâ channel to get up to speed on all things BlueWillow. In a matter of 5 simple steps, you can generate four AI images - itâs pretty wild.
BlueWillow is being marketed as the âfree Midjourney alternativeâ and for a lot of you eagle-eyed out there, youâll probably understand why. There are quite a few similarities that the two platforms share. For instance, both platforms are only accessible through Discord and use the same command to generate an image (â/imagineâ). So if youâve used MidJourney before, youâll definitely be able to use BlueWillow. The big difference is the price. When it comes to BlueWillow you have 25 free image prompts per day to run wild with. Once you have run out of your âfreeâ MidJourney credits, you must buy a subscription (monthly subscription ranging from $10-$60).
It may take less than a minute to generate the images themselves, but it does take some time to nail down an approach to creating efficient prompts for BlueWillow. If my prompt is âa cat wearing a hat, in the sunâ and Iâm not happy with the image. I can only be annoyed at myself. Itâs important to include as much detail as possible in the prompt that you are giving to BlueWillow. For instance, what type of cat is it? Is it a specific colour? Where is the cat? What colour is the hat? What style do I want the image in? You get the gist! Take a bit of time to figure out the right prompts for the types of images you want to generate.
Unfortunately for me, Iâm no Picasso - I really struggle bringing my ideas to life. So BlueWillow is just what I needed. The discord channel is a great source for inspiration and learning too. You can peak into what others are creating and take notes on the types of prompts theyâre using. You can create a range of images in a matter of minutes, saving you a whole bunch of time.
If youâre new to creating AI generated images, BlueWillow is the one for you. BlueWillow is only accessible through Discord, so make sure you spend some time working your way through the Discord platform, it can be quite overwhelming if you havenât used it before! BlueWillow is a great starting point to get comfortable with the AI process.
But, if you are looking to create more complex and visually stunning images I would point you in the direction of Midjourney. Itâs been on the scene for a while now, a recognised veteran in the AI generated images space, free from any bugs. While it comes at a cost, itâs reliable and creates amazing imagery youâre not going to be mad at.
