Personal Styles in Midjourney

Hello Creators of worlds.

By now we've all seen just how incredible AI text to image is. Anything uploaded to the internet is added to the mix of AI creation. It's exciting and at the same time overwhelming to have all of this power at our fingertips.

Not only can we create anything we want, we can also create in any STYLE we want.

This can be done in various ways:

• Adding artists names to your prompts,

• Using art, design, photography, animation, etc. descriptors in your prompts,

• Using image prompting as a reference,

• Creating weighted prompt templates.

Every artists develops their own style of creative expression and I want my own as well. I don't want to copy someone else's, so the first option is not an actual option for me.

Second option is great and also fundamental to becoming better at using prompt based text to image AI. Watch videos, read books, talk with people about art, design, 3d modeling, animation, illustration, painting, etc. Basically, increase your knowledge and vocabulary about different art fields.

This can help you build your prompts with more details and intention. However, there is another approach you can use to build your prompts. By reverse engineering image prompts.

At it's base it is describing an existing image. You take an image you like and you put it into words. What colors does it use? What artistic style is it? What is the composition? Etc.

This might seem like a difficult task, as image says a thousand words, right?

Well, here is something that will make it easier for you. Yes, it's AI.

It's called CLIP interrogator.

It allows you to upload an image and it creates a prompt description based on that image.

Pretty crazy, right?

You can create descriptions of existing images which you can use as prompts for your text to image creations.

The results can be very similar.

This is another workflow you can try and experiment with when you're creating with Midjourney or any other text to image tool.

If you want to explore style prompt templates, I've released a 15 page PDF with 7 different style templates and explanation on how it works and how you can use them. It's free. Or not, if you think it's worth something to you.

You can find it here.

I've also released a 32 min video course going from the basics of Midjourney to more advanced things, like weighted prompting and image reference.

If you wanna level up your Midjourney mastery, take a look. You can find it here.

Keep creating and don't forget to have fun.
