Here are 10 more Midjourney prompt styles. Add these to the end of your prompts, separated by a comma, to get similar effects. I’ve also included a bonus style at the end.
How to use Midjourney Prompt Styles
- Write your base prompt.
- Append the style phrase at the end, separated by a comma.
- For styles with variables (like number of strips), change the number to taste.
Midjourney Prompt Styles: Scarecrow Style
The ability to take a subject and turn them into a scarecrow has some pretty nifty effects and some comical ones as well. Optimus Prime and Darth Vader look a little bit silly as scarecrows, not quite as intimidating as usual.
The way it adds straw hats and straw elements does a really cool job, while adding something a little bit creepy to the woman’s face. I still love that result overall.
Midjourney Prompt Styles: Framed in Triangles
Triangles can swing in a few different ways. Sometimes it makes the image out of triangles, but often it creates a cool triangle frame or adds triangular elements in the background. The futuristic car and waterfall examples create a nice effect.
When added to characters, sometimes it builds them from triangles, other times it frames them. You can get some really nifty effects by playing with this phrase to create unique imagery.
Midjourney Prompt Styles: 5 Strips of Changing Hues
It could be any number really, but 5 strips worked well, creating a nice rainbow hue effect where things change color from strip to strip. The Terminator looks a little different, and I like the way it changes some of the sky and the elements of the samurai and Mario.
Occasionally it will do something like the house and add the strips in there, but generally it renders with a number of distinct strips. Goku’s hair changing color from strip to strip looks great in this image.
Midjourney Prompt Styles: Chinese Dragon Inspired VHS Glitch Vaporwave Effect
This mouthful of a style adds a VHS glitch with a bit of a Chinese dragon, usually in the background or sometimes as part of the character. It creates unique, very cool images that would look awesome on posters. I like the use of the subject with the glitch and the VHS color bleeding effect.
I love the Superman image with the dragon in the background, and Goku framed with those elements adds something interesting to the image.
Midjourney Prompt Styles: Adventure Time Style
This brings a playful cartoon look much like the actual cartoon. It changes the character’s shape and proportions with a drawn, cartoony feel.
I like the way Mario is holding the sword, and I love the transformation and reimagining of these characters with different proportions. Hulk is blocky, Deadpool has a cube for a head, and even cars become cool stylized versions.
Midjourney Prompt Styles: Egyptian God Hieroglyphics Style
Goku looks very Egyptian here. The style often adds elements to walls, or it places the character in front of hieroglyphics like Hulk. It can also reimagine characters, as you can see with Batman’s suit and the stylized samurai.
Goku looks like a cat god in Egypt, while the futuristic car picks up cool symbols. I recommend playing with this one.
Midjourney Prompt Styles: Wireframe Art
This has a modern 3D modeled wireframe effect added to most images. Darth Vader looks like a 3D model about to be rendered, and the Terminator has a bit of shading and outline.
Sometimes the wireframe can be a little hard to see, but most of the time it does a good job and gives a neat effect. The waterfall creates a strong sense of depth with the wireframe.
Midjourney Prompt Styles: Tilt Shift Photography
Tilt shift photography makes full-size subjects look small by focusing in a way that mimics miniatures. The house is a great example of this, and sometimes you get toy-looking results like Mario.
Some images could pass for a toy or a real photo, and the effect holds true to the classic tilt shift look in most cases. The car still looks a bit like a toy, so sometimes you won’t get exactly what you expect, but it’s a nifty effect either way.
Midjourney Prompt Styles: Piranesi
Based on Giovanni Battista Piranesi, using his name creates dark black and white sketch work with a lot of realism.
The images feel old-fashioned, very dramatic, and cinematic in framing and tone. I recommend having a play with that artist name to see what results you can get.
Midjourney Prompt Styles: Caravaggio-Inspired Intense Realism
This adds a painting style with an old-fashioned sense of realism to the colors, shading, and shadows. Goku looks like he’s having a sleep, and in a lot of these images people look like they’re having a sleep.
Pikachu is redressed and rendered with that period feel. The woman’s face has a hood, the samurai keeps a muted color, high contrast look, while Batman looks completely different. The realism and the old-fashioned way it renders things is really interesting.
Midjourney Prompt Styles: Bonus – Budo Japanese Dragon Inspired VHS Glitch Effect
This is a variation on the Chinese dragon style. The woman’s face example turned out beautifully. Batman has no dragon here, but the cultural influence still has an impact. Goku and the Terminator look like they are turning into dragons.
The color choices and overall look are very cool, and experimenting with either VHS glitch dragon style can yield interesting images. Darth Vader with a dragon adds something warrior-like, the cyberpunk-looking car with a dragon overlay works well, and Pikachu looks positively evil.
Final Thoughts
Append any of these Midjourney prompt styles to your prompt to instantly shift the look and mood of your images. From playful cartoons and tilt shift miniatures to wireframes, hieroglyphics, and artist-inspired renderings, each phrase adds a distinct visual direction worth exploring.
