Explore Creative Midjourney Prompts for Unique AI Art

Midjourney is always changing how we create art with AI. Finding the right words, or prompts, is key to getting amazing images. This post looks at different prompt ideas and techniques to help you make stand-out AI art. We will see how simple ideas can lead to surprising results.

Checking Out the Midjourney Website Alpha

If you have created enough images in Midjourney (currently over 1,000), you might get access to their Alpha website at alpha.midjourney.com. This changes how you enter prompts. You do not need the "/imagine" command anymore. You just type your prompt directly.

You can check your image count by typing "/info" in Discord. The website also offers quick ways to vary, upscale, remix, pan, and zoom your images right from the interface.

Trying Different Prompt Styles

Let us look at some diverse prompt structures and see what kind of images they can generate.

Splatter Fashion and Illustrative Styles

Starting with a prompt like "beautiful Japanese woman splatter fashion in the style of light and Shadow and ink" can create artistic images with a painted or illustrated feel. Varying the prompt slightly can produce different looks, from detailed illustrations to stylized portraits.

Another drawing-based style is the "comic caricature illustration". Using a prompt like "Comic character illustration Mo Salah in his Liverpool strip" can produce funny, exaggerated portraits. Adding parameters like "--style raw" might push the result more towards a traditional illustration rather than a 3D photographic look.

Overhead Views (Nollieing)

The term "nollieing" can be used to create overhead or top-down views. A prompt like "nolling of a mini Countryman S my car the arrangement is captured from above with Dynamic Focus lighting that cast intriguing shadows and emphases the mini Countryman as a centerpice of engineering and cars" creates a detailed, almost blueprint-like image from above. You can apply this to different subjects, like "nolling Star Wars vehicles", for interesting results.

Unusual Materials: Marshmallows

Prompting specific materials can lead to fun, unexpected images. Try something like "Godzilla made of marshmallows orange and purple on floor." Midjourney interprets this, creating creatures built from marshmallow shapes. The size and type of marshmallow can vary in the results, giving you various styles from mini to chunky.

Victorian Ink and Stippling Effects

Looking for a classic look? Adding "Victorian ink work" or "stippling effect" to your prompt can reproduce drawing styles. Prompts like "Victorian detective running down the Streets of London colored inks" can yield dramatic, old-fashioned illustrations. Stippling, which uses dots to create shading, can be requested with "[subject] stippling effect." The results can range from simple dotted drawings to complex images that mimic the technique of artists like Chuck Close.

The Chuck Close Style

Referencing famous artists can guide the AI. Using "highly detailed illustration portrait of Japanese woman in style of Chuck Close" aims for the distinct portrait style known for its detailed squares or dots. While results might vary, some images capture the intense detail and character found in the artist's work. Midjourney might also pick up on common features of the artist's subjects, like glasses.

Practical Uses: Thumbnails

Beyond art, Midjourney prompts are great for practical needs, like creating unique thumbnails for videos or blogs. A descriptive prompt focusing on the main idea, like "XBox suspended in midair melting with plain muted background", can quickly generate an eye-catching image that conveys a message simply and effectively. You can then edit or expand the image (like panning to 16:9) for the perfect fit and add text.

Tips for Better Prompting and Variations

Getting the perfect image often takes trial and error. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

• Experiment with Parameters: Words like "--style raw", adjusting "--stylize" or "--weird", or setting the aspect ratio (--ar 16:9 or --ar 1:1) greatly influence the outcome.

• Remixing: Use the remix function to subtly or significantly change an existing image based on an adjusted prompt or different parameters.

• Unexpected Results: Placing prompts from other AI art tools like DALL-E into Midjourney can produce surprisingly different results compared to what you expected. Sometimes this leads to happy accidents.

• Face Consistency: Achieving consistent faces across multiple images can be tricky in Midjourney. Tools like RenderNet AI are specifically designed with features like face lock for creating consistent characters, useful for projects like AI influencers (rendernet.ai).

Conclusion

Playing with diverse prompt styles, materials, artists, and parameters is how you discover the full power of Midjourney. Whether you want a painted look, a technical drawing, a fun creature, or a practical graphic, the right prompt makes all the difference. Do not be afraid to mix ideas and see what Midjourney creates.
