Add Visual Flair to Midjourney: Try These 10 Art Style Prompts

Ready to make your Midjourney images stand out? Using specific style prompts is a great way to get unique visual effects. Instead of just describing what you want, adding a style phrase can completely change the look and feel of the image. This post covers 10 distinct art styles you can experiment with in your Midjourney prompts to create truly original visuals.

Infrared

Adding "infrared" to your prompt applies a fascinating light effect. It often turns images red, creating an almost inverted color look. You might see blue skin, red hats, and a distinct shift in how light and colors are rendered. This style gives images a unique, almost otherworldly appearance.

World War One Found Photograph

This style makes your image look like a real photograph discovered from the World War I era. It creates a worn, authentic feel, often showing formal attire and details that fit the period. Even modern subjects can be transformed, appearing in old-fashioned uniforms. Nature scenes might look darker, and a modern car could appear like a futuristic concept from back then. It gives characters like Mickey Mouse the look of being in a genuine old photo, complete with costumes fitting the time.

Star Wars Style

Applying "Star Wars style" adds touches inspired by the famous saga. It can add unique jewelry or machinery details to faces. Characters often appear in Star Wars-like costumes, sometimes even gaining lightsabers. While the results can vary, it's a fun way to see familiar subjects filtered through a sci-fi lens. It might even place unexpected elements, like Stormtroopers, into everyday scenes.

Brutalism

Brutalism refers to an architectural style known for its raw concrete and functional, often stark designs. Using this style prompt applies that aesthetic to your images. A typical Barbie house might become plain and depressing looking. Character faces could be integrated into concrete structures. Even natural scenes like waterfalls or mountains can be replaced or altered to look like harsh, brutalist concrete constructions, sometimes with cultural twists like a Japanese temple made of concrete.

Full Spectrum Infrared

An expansion of the standard "infrared" style, "full spectrum infrared" adds more blues and pinks to the mix. While similar, it offers a different color palette and look. You might see prominent pink glows, red skies, and distinct blue tints in neutral areas. It often uses pink for highlights and blue for shadows, resulting in a visually striking, sharp effect around edges like trees.

Faded Photo

The "faded photo" style makes images look like old, worn pictures. It uses muted, low-contrast colors and adds visual wear and tear, sometimes making subjects look dirty. Characters can appear as damaged old statues or dolls from another era. Interestingly, this style often creates scenes that feel melancholic or include elements of destruction, transforming even a modern home into something resembling a photograph from the 60s or 70s.

Dead Punk

"Dead Punk" merges cyberpunk elements with themes of death. This style introduces skulls, shadows, and dark paint effects. Faces might look like they're painted to resemble skulls, and unexpected characters like Mario or Homer Simpson can appear with skulls integrated into their design or surroundings, alongside elements like flowers. It can transform subjects dramatically, like turning Barbie into a tattooed biker inspired character, giving images a unique, horror-tinged look.

Anamorphic Art

Anamorphic art is known for creating visuals that look distorted until viewed from a specific angle, often giving the illusion of depth or destruction like a hole in the ground. Adding this style might apply a sense of destruction or a hole effect to the image layout. Results can vary, but it often leads to interesting visual distortions and unexpected compositions, like placing a cartoon character within a seemingly real photo, standing on complex rendered art.

Ambient Occlusion

"Ambient occlusion" is a 3D rendering effect that simulates soft shadows where surfaces meet. As a Midjourney style, it tends to create images with a distinct white appearance. Subjects often look like white 3D renders or statues, sometimes with detailed textures preserved. It can range from soft, light imagery to more extreme looks with stark black backgrounds and harsh lighting, giving everything a clean, sculptural quality.

Kinsugi

Kinsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, highlighting the breaks as part of the object's history. Applying this style to Midjourney images incorporates gold elements where something appears broken or segmented. Subjects might look like broken pottery filled with gold, appearing cracked with золотые lines or patches. This style can create eerie but beautiful effects, making everything from faces to cars look like valuable, repaired art pieces, sometimes featuring gold water over dark surfaces in nature scenes.

These are just a few examples of how adding specific style prompts can dramatically alter your Midjourney creations. Experimenting with them can lead to visuals you never expected. Each style offers a new way to see your subjects and prompts brought to life.
