Midjourney lets you create incredible images. A simple way to change the look and feel of your pictures is by adding art style phrases to your prompts. This post explores a few distinct styles you can try right now to give your generated images a fresh new appearance.
Ukiyo-e Style
Ukiyo-e is a traditional Japanese art style. It often looks like woodblock prints. You can give your Midjourney images this classic feel.
Achieving the Ukiyo-e Look
Add ", ukiyo-e" to the end of your prompt.
Images of faces take on a classic drawn appearance.
Modern characters get a traditional Japanese drawing style, sometimes framed with classic elements.
Buildings like temples can look like they belong in a historical Japanese scene.
Ukiyo-e with 3D Render
You can add a 3D effect to the Ukiyo-e style for an interesting mix.
Use the prompt phrase ", ukiyo-e, 3d render".
Characters or faces in this style gain depth while keeping the color palette and look.
Objects and backgrounds also get a three-dimensional feel with added shadowing and lighting.
Experiment with both versions to see which you like best for your subjects.
Iridescent Reflection
This style adds a shimmery, multi-colored reflective surface to your images. It gives objects a futuristic or unique metallic sheen.
Getting the Iridescent Effect
Add ", iridescent reflection" to your prompt.
Surfaces like skin or armor get colorful, reflective highlights.
Objects can take on a metallic look with iridescent colors reflecting off them.
Scenery can be influenced by the colorful palette of iridescence.
This effect can be subtle or strong depending on the subject, adding a neat visual touch.
Metallic Effect
If you want a metallic look without the multi-color shimmer, the metallic effect is perfect. It makes subjects look like they are made of solid metal.
Applying the Metallic Style
Use the prompt phrase ", metallic effect".
Subjects look like realistic metallic figures or statues.
Sometimes the style can add surrounding metallic elements, like metal shards.
Buildings can appear transformed into metallic structures, looking like something from science fiction.

Diagrammatic Drawing
This style gives your images a technical, hand-drawn diagram appearance. It often includes lines and grids as if it's a draft or blueprint.
Creating Diagrammatic Images
Add ", diagrammatic drawing" to your prompt.
Faces can look like they have been drafted, with visible grids and lines.
Objects and characters get technical aspects added to their images.
While it works with most things, the strength of the effect can vary depending on the subject.
This style provides a unique, technical look that stands out.
