I’m back with 10 more visual styles you can add to your AI art in Midjourney by simply adding these phrases into your prompts. Add them to your subject and you should get images aligned with the traits described below.
Midjourney Style Prompts: How to Apply These Styles
- Type your base subject.
- Add one of the style phrases exactly as shown below.
- Generate, review, and iterate by tweaking the prompt or combining styles.
In the Style of JOSH AGLE
An artist with a very particular visual style. Adding his name transforms proportions and pushes things toward a cartoony feel without defaulting to plain black outlines.
It leans into a shaded, stylized look that converts subjects into very cartoony characters in a fun way. A great option for unique images and poster-like results.
Poster Made by Lee Monade
Specializes in movie posters. This prompt often creates designs that look like real film posters, including text elements and collage layouts with multiple characters or faces.
It produced cinematic looks with subjects like Darth Vader, Pikachu, the Incredible Hulk, and especially the Terminator, where the coloring, character placement, and overall composition come together beautifully.
Midjourney Style Prompts: Drawn by P. Craig Russell
A comic book style prompt with strong line work and deep shadows. It naturally suits comic characters like Batman, but it also converts other subjects like the Terminator into striking comic illustrations.
Expect highly detailed sketches, rougher treatments for figures like Optimus, and a lot of strong black-and-white work. Even the Statue of Liberty got a bold angle, complete with unexpected background elements.
Midjourney Style Prompts: In the Style of Tim Biskup
Another artist with a unique visual fingerprint. Colors on characters like Goku come through in bold, interesting ways. It often introduces abstract elements, adding a distinct twist to whatever subject you prompt, from the Incredible Hulk to the Terminator.
Worth experimenting with if you like expressive color and shape play.
Raw, Sketchy Graffiti Lines, Chaotic and Expressive Strokes
It might use a pen style, or switch to a pen plus highlighter-ink approach that still stays within the same spectrum. It shines on street-flavored scenes, like a car surrounded by lettering.
A descriptive prompt that consistently delivers. You get graffiti elements like text layered with a rough, sketchy feel, giving a messy but uniform look inside the chaos.
Midjourney Style Prompts: In the Style of El Lissitzky
An abstract approach with very nailed-down color palettes: black, white, and a red or orangey burnt tone that can drift toward burgundy, sometimes with a slightly yellowish tint to the grayscale.
It introduces shape elements and textures that read as abstract art while keeping the palette consistent.
This style leaves a big footprint on the final image, as seen on subjects like Optimus Prime.
In the Style of László Moholy-Nagy
Another abstract option with a bit more flexibility in color and a different assortment of shapes and elements.
Pieces like Darth Vader can look somewhat similar to other abstract styles at a glance, but the structure and composition feel distinct.
It chops things up, moves elements around, and can create elegant flows, like a Statue of Liberty treatment that curves beautifully around the subject.
Midjourney Style Prompts: X-Shaped Composition
Sometimes this can get flagged, but it worked well across most subjects. It tends to build an X-shaped layout into the scene.
A house might incorporate the X directly into its form, while something like the Terminator might pick up the sides of the X more than the top and bottom. You’ll often see X’s in the background too. Try other shape compositions to see how Midjourney interprets them.
Midjourney Style Prompts: 17th Century Baroque Oil Painting
Great for an old-school portrait style with a golden tinge and period costumes. It’s very transformative, with a strong classical feel similar in tone to Renaissance looks but later in style.
Characters get posed artistically and lit in rich, painterly ways. Goku sleeping came out as a beautiful vignette, and the Terminator looked completely different in the best way.
Midjourney Style Prompts: Inspired by Dollar Bill Engraving Art
Delivers that etched engraving look. It often frames the subject like a banknote and applies scratch-line shading across skin and fabric.
The effect is especially visible on figures like the Statue of Liberty, where line work becomes the shading itself.
When it misses pure engraving lines, it tends to mimic the effect convincingly. Standouts included Mickey Mouse, a house with a dollar note on the side, and a Ben Affleck-style Batman with excellent etched shading.
Final Thoughts
These 10 prompts cover cartoony transformations, poster-ready layouts, comic book ink, abstract shape systems, graffiti-driven sketch energy, classical oil painting, and intricate engraving. Add them directly to your subject prompts, iterate a bit, and you’ll quickly see how each style imprints a distinct look on your images.
