Midjourney - Styles: part 1

Here are 15 different illustration & design styles you can use with Midjourney to give your images a special touch. They can be easily integrated into basic prompts or more complex scenes.

🧵Thread with visual examples 👇

1. Comic book

🗒️Note:

There are, of course, numerous ways to integrate a style into your prompt. Personally, I mainly use these three phrases:

"...comic book style,"

"...in the style of comic book," or

"..., comic book."

2. Isometric

A style that uses parallel lines to create a 3D effect, often seen in video game.

🗒️Note:

This style produces better results when the subject of your scene is placed in an environment with more elements.

Left: No environment
Right right: In a house

3. Pixel art

A digital art form that uses small colored squares (pixels) to create images, reminiscent of early video game graphics.

4. Voxel art

A digital art style that uses three-dimensional pixels (voxels) to create blocky, geometric images and scenes.

5. Aboriginal Dot Painting

A traditional Australian Aboriginal art style that uses small dots of paint to create complex patterns and symbolic imagery.

6. Stained glass

A design style that uses colored glass pieces, held together by lead or metal strips, to create intricate patterns and images, often found in religious and historic buildings.

7. Zentangle

A meditative drawing technique that involves creating patterns and shapes with repetitive, structured lines and curves, often resulting in complex, abstract compositions.

8. Collage

A design style that combines different materials, images, and textures to create a new composition, often used in mixed media art.

9. Vaporwave

A digital art style inspired by 1980s and 1990s aesthetics, featuring pastel colors, geometric shapes, and nostalgic imagery.

10. Psychedelic

A design style characterized by bright colors, abstract patterns, and surreal imagery, often associated with the 1960s counterculture.

11. Cyberpunk

A futuristic design style characterized by neon colors, urban settings, advanced technology, and a dystopian aesthetic.

12. Gouache

A painting technique that uses opaque watercolors to create images with a matte finish and strong, saturated colors.

🗒️Note:

You can also use the Watercolor style, which produces a similar effect but with softer colors.

Left: Gouache
Right: Watercolor

13. Ink wash painting

A traditional East Asian painting technique that uses ink and water to create monochromatic images with varying shades and textures, often featuring landscapes, animals, and plants.

14. Whimsical

A playful, imaginative design style that often features fantastical creatures, dreamy landscapes, and unconventional elements.

15. Charcoal art

A drawing technique that uses charcoal sticks or pencils to create expressive, richly textured images. Often used for portraiture, landscapes, and still lifes.

I had a lot of fun playing with many of these styles and also learned a lot of new ones to add to my toolbox. I hope some of them will be useful to you as well!

Thank you!
