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!
In this thread, I wanted to gather and share a few of my favorite prompts. You can use and test them if you want or modify them to add your personal artistic touch!
I invite you to share yours as well if you want!
You'll find all the Prompts in ALT.
1. Vintage ads and Retro movie posters.
Those 2 works really well with any other themes you can think of!
2. A funny selfie and a more realistic image of Jason Vhorees. I had so much fun with the selfie prompt!
