Add Unique Art Styles to Your Midjourney Images

Want your AI-generated pictures to stand out? Adding specific art styles to your prompts can change everything. Just a few words can take your images from standard to stunning. This post shares some interesting art styles you can use in Midjourney to make your creations pop. Get ready to make images everyone will ask about!

Exploring Illustration Styles

Illustration is a great way to add a specific feel to your images. These styles often work well with written ideas, helping tell a visual story. There are many types, from simple to complex.

Simple Sketches and Lines

A simple starting point is a doodle. It creates a whimsical image easily. For something even cleaner, try line art.

Storytelling Illustrations

Editorial illustration is bright and catches the eye. It is often seen in newspapers or magazines. This style combines different parts into a visual story, often with a strong idea behind it. Give your prompt a theme and let the AI develop the visual story.

Detailed Explanations

For images that explain things clearly, use technical illustration or diagram. These help show systems, parts, or steps. You can even ask for a cutaway or cross-section view.

Visual Data

Infographics show data or information in a way that looks good. While the text might not be real, the style itself is useful for visual design. You can prompt for an infographic about almost anything. Other terms like schematic or timeline give a similar organized feel.

Historical Print Styles

Give your images a vintage feel by using styles from older printing methods. These can add color, texture, and a nostalgic look.

Color Prints

Try chromolithographic or just lithograph. These are colorful prints with a historical feel. They look similar to vintage illustration or Victorian illustration. Lithographs were often used for things like advertisements and posters, featuring bright colors.

Wood and Lino Cuts

A wood cut has a rustic, textured appearance. The image looks like it was carved into wood, inked, and pressed. You can see lines from the wood pressing. You get a similar look with a Lino cut print.

Medieval Illuminated Manuscripts

Go back further with an illuminated manuscript. These pages from the Middle Ages are full of gold, silver, and detailed designs. They were made for wealthy people and look luxurious. You can get a similar style with medieval illumination.

Dramatic and Symbolic Art

These styles bring mood and deeper meaning to your pictures.

Dark and Gritty

The term Noir comes from dark, often crime-related films. It creates monochrome images with lots of shadows and grain. It gives even simple subjects a darker edge.

Macabre and Ornate

While Gothic was a historical style, prompting AI for gothic art or goth gives a popular look that is dark and mysterious. It often includes dramatic, detailed elements, sometimes with religious or supernatural themes.

Detailed Symbolism

Tarot cards have their own distinct appearance, full of detailed symbols and patterns. Many people use AI to make images that look like they belong on a tarot card. The style is rich with meaning and often shows spiritual ideas.

Fun and Unique Styles

Let's lighten things up with some less serious or less common styles.

Cute Characters

Chibi, also called super deformation, comes from Japan. It is common in anime and manga. Characters have big heads, large eyes, and small bodies. Simply put, chibi is cute.

Raw and Untrained

Art brute means "raw art." It is like art made by people with no formal training. Asking for art brute can give you basic shapes, childlike drawings, and lots of color and wildness. It is a style that does not follow traditional rules.

Adding diverse styles can really change the outcome of your prompts. It is all about finding the right mix. To make experimenting with these styles even easier, consider automating your workflow. Learn more about automating your Midjourney process with TitanXT.

Organized Layouts

Nulling or flat lay art is arranging objects, usually related to a theme, in a grid pattern and photographing them from above. It creates images that are orderly, colorful, and look good.

Working with Alternative Materials

These styles imagine what your image would look like if it were made from different materials or techniques.

Torn Paper

Prompting for a torn paper collage makes images that look like they are made from torn pieces of colored paper. It gives a look with splashes of color, shapes, and layers.

Sharp Edges

With stencil art, it looks like paint was applied through a cut-out shape. This gives sharp, clean edges. It is similar to street art.

Using Found Objects

Trash art or found object art uses discarded items and materials. It turns waste into something creative. Prompting for trash art results in images with textures, colors, and sometimes even recognizable objects put together in an interesting way.

Experimental and Abstract Concepts

These ideas push the boundaries of what art can be.

Shiny Surfaces

[P]If you want a reflective shine, ask for a liquid chrome finish. This is like chrome on a car, giving a sleek, shiny look. It is like everything is coated in melted metal.[/H3]

Barcode Patterns

[P]Even something simple like a barcode can become art. Asking for barcode artwork turns the lines of the code into a creative picture.[/H3]

Sound Patterns

Cymatics is the study of how sound creates visible patterns. Prompting for cymatics gives interesting, often symmetrical patterns that look like visible sound waves.

Using different styles can really help you find the perfect look for your AI creations. Experimenting is key. If you find yourself creating many images and styles, automating some steps can save you time. Discover how you can streamline your process with the TitanXT Midjourney Automator.

Brain Structures as Art

[P]It turns out parts of our brain can look like art. Prompting neuron gives close-ups of the brain's branching connections. Adding neuron flowers turns up the color and makes these structures look more like blooming flowers.[/H3]

AI Art Itself

Finally, there is a term for creating art using AI: synthography. This is what you are doing when you make images from words and concepts with AI tools.

Conclusion

Adding art styles is a simple way to change your Midjourney images dramatically. Experiment with these different terms to see what you can create. Try combining different styles or using them with prompts you already like. The real fun is in trying new things and seeing the unique images you can produce.
