Unlock Your Midjourney Masterpiece: Pro Tips for Stunning AI Art

A Midjourney generated image using Midjourney Automation Suite

Want to create amazing art with Midjourney? It's all about how you talk to the AI. Here are some easy tips to make your prompts better and get the results you want. Make sure that your Midjourney workflow is as efficient as possible using the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT!

Focus on What You Want

First, use positive words. Tell Midjourney what you DO want in the picture. If you say "no dogs," you might still get a dog! Instead, say "cows, pigs, and chickens" to get those animals in your farm scene.

[LI]Instead of saying what you don't want, list what you DO want.</LI]

[LI]If positive words don't work, THEN try "no [thing]" at the end of your prompt. Use " d d n o" followed by the thing to remove from the prompt</LI]

[/UL]

Put Important Words First

Midjourney pays more attention to the beginning of your prompt. If you want a bull to be the main focus, put "massive evil bull" at the start. If the farm is more important, start with "nice farm."

[LI]Prioritize keywords, styles, or subjects by placing them first.</LI]

[LI]For a logo, put "minimalist logo" at the beginning to make sure that style is front and center.</LI]

[/UL]

Control Color and Light

Tell Midjourney what colors and lighting you want. Use simple terms like "pastel colors," "neon colors," or "blue and green color palette." For lighting, try "low contrast," "high contrast," "dark low lighting," or "sunny lighting." You can even use "golden hour lighting."

[LI]Specify color palettes to guide the overall tone of the image.</LI]

[LI]Experiment with lighting conditions for different effects. Consider using the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT to easily test variations of this![/LI]

[/UL]

Use Word Weight and Multi-Prompts

In Midjourney, you can give words more "weight" by adding two colons and a number after the word. "Bull::3" makes "bull" three times more important than the other words. You can also use multi-prompts by separating words with "::". For example, "outside hot::dog" will create two separate images - one of something that is "outside hot" and one of a dog.

[LI]Increase the importance of certain words by adding "::number" after them.</LI]

[LI]Separate unrelated concepts with "::" to create distinct elements.</LI]

[/UL]

Learn About Art and Photography

The more you know about art and photography, the better you can describe what you want. Study different styles, artists, and techniques to improve your "AI art vocabulary."

Keep Prompts Short and Sweet

Long prompts can confuse Midjourney. Focus on the most important details and cut out anything unnecessary. For example, instead of "create an artwork of a small monkey in the stall of modern video game built on Unreal Engine", try "Unreal Engine 3D render of a monkey, forest, sunny sky, high contrast, earthy tones."

[LI]Identify the core elements of your desired image.</LI]

[LI]Use concise phrases instead of long sentences.</LI]

[/UL]

Use Discord's Shorten Command

Midjourney has a "shorten" command that can help you remove unnecessary words from your prompt. Just type "/shorten" followed by your prompt, and Midjourney will give you several shorter versions to choose from.

Define a Style

Mentioning a specific style can greatly influence the look of your image. Try "watercolor painting," "ink dripping drawing," "DSLR photo," or "Sci-Fi Blockbuster movie screen cap."

• Experiment with different artistic mediums and techniques. Consider using the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT to easily test variations of styles!

• For a more stylized look, try "anime 1990 film screen cap."

Use Artist Names

Mentioning an artist's name can give your image a specific style. Try "in the style of Picasso," "in the style of Salvador Dali," or "in the style of Leonardo da Vinci." You can even combine artists, like "the combined style of HR Giger and Leonardo da Vinci."

Get Inspired by Others

Look at other people's Midjourney prompts to get ideas. Check out the Midjourney explore page or other online resources. Pay attention to the words and phrases they use, and see how they style their prompts.

Break Down Existing Prompts

Take a prompt you like and split it into shorter phrases to see what results you get from each phrase. Use permutations by adding curly brackets around different parts of the prompt, separated by commas. For example: "dog {antique photography in a gothic city, in the 1900s, dark fantasy}" will generate separate images based on the components inside of the brackets.

Describe the Angle and Framing

Tell Midjourney what angle and framing you want. Try "high angle," "low angle," "landscape shot," "closeup shot," or "side angle."

Reroll and Remix

Don't be afraid to reroll and remix your images. If you're close to what you want, but not quite there, just hit the "reroll" button. Or, turn on remix mode and make small changes to the prompt to get different results. Access Midjourney's remix mode by using the "/settings" command.

Describe the Mood

Use words that describe the mood you want to create. Try "depressing mood," "excited," "gloomy and spooky," "quiet," "loud," "powerful energy," or "serene stillness."

Use Prompt Formulas

Create a fill-in-the-blank formula to use a reliable and repeatable structure. An example would be "art style of a subject in a location, mood."

[LI]Try "3D render of a gray alien in a spaceship, gloomy and spooky."</LI]

[LI]Change it up by swapping the first few variables to read "detailed pen sketch of a dolphin in an office, gloomy and spooky."</LI]
