| description | AI image generation via Midjourney Discord bot: create images from prompts, upscale, create variations, blend images, describe images. Use when: (1) generating artwork from text descriptions, (2) creating variations of existing images, (3) upscaling low-res images, (4) analyzing images for prompts. NOT for: commercial licensing questions (check Midjourney ToS), API access (Discord-only). |
Midjourney Skill
Generate AI artwork via the Midjourney Discord bot. All commands are run through Discord.
โ ๏ธ Prerequisites
- Discord account โ Required
- Midjourney subscription โ Free trials limited, paid plans at midjourney.com
- Join Midjourney Discord โ https://discord.gg/midjourney
- Bot access โ Use
/imagine in #newbies channels or your own server
Quick Start
/imagine prompt: a cyberpunk cat sitting on a neon rooftop, detailed, cinematic lighting --ar 16:9 --v 6
Workflow:
- Type
/imagine in Discord
- Enter your prompt
- Wait ~60 seconds for 4 variations
- Use U1-4 to upscale, V1-4 for variations
When to Use
โ
USE this skill when:
- Generating artwork, illustrations, or concept art from text
- Creating variations of an existing image
- Upscaling low-resolution images
- Blending multiple images together
- Getting prompt ideas from existing images (describe)
- Experimenting with artistic styles and parameters
โ DON'T use this skill when:
- Need commercial licensing info โ check midjourney.com/terms
- Want API access โ Discord-only, no public API
- Need exact text rendering โ MJ struggles with text
- Require photorealistic faces โ may have artifacts
Core Commands
/imagine โ Generate Images
/imagine prompt: <your description> [parameters]
Examples:
/imagine prompt: portrait of a warrior princess, golden armor, dramatic lighting, fantasy art --ar 2:3 --stylize 750
/imagine prompt: minimalist logo for a tech startup, geometric, blue and white --v 6
/imagine prompt: isometric 3D render of a cozy coffee shop, warm lighting, blender style --ar 1:1
/upscale โ Increase Resolution
After generation, click U1, U2, U3, or U4 buttons under the image grid.
Or use command:
/upscale --image <job-id> --index 1
/variations โ Create Variations
After generation, click V1, V2, V3, or V4 buttons.
Or use command:
/variations --image <job-id> --index 1 --strength subtle
/blend โ Merge Images
/blend
Upload 2-5 images. Midjourney merges them stylistically.
Example use:
- Blend a photo with a painting style
- Merge character concepts
- Combine color palettes
/describe โ Analyze Image
/describe
Upload an image โ get 4 prompt suggestions that would create similar results.
Use for:
- Reverse-engineering styles
- Learning prompt patterns
- Getting inspiration from existing art
/remix โ Modify Prompts
Enable remix mode to change prompts when creating variations:
/remix
Then use V1-V4 buttons with modified prompts.

Version (--v)
--v 6 # Latest (default)
--v 5.2 # Previous version
--v 5.1 # Older, more artistic
--niji 6 # Anime/manga style
Stylize (--s or --stylize)
--s 100 # Low stylization (follows prompt closely)
--s 250 # Default
--s 750 # High stylization (more artistic freedom)
--s 1000 # Maximum
Chaos (--chaos)
--chaos 0 # Consistent results (default)
--chaos 50 # More varied
--chaos 100 # Maximum variation
Quality (--quality or --q)
--q 0.5 # Half quality, faster
--q 1 # Default
--q 2 # Double quality, slower, more detail
Seed (--seed)
--seed 1234 # Reproducible results
Same seed + same prompt = similar images.
No (--no)
--no text # Avoid text in image
--no blur # Avoid blur
--no people # Avoid people
Style Raw (--style raw)
--style raw # Less opinionated, more literal prompt interpretation
Weird (--weird)
--weird 0 # Normal (default)
--weird 500 # Unconventional compositions
--weird 3000 # Maximum weirdness
Advanced Techniques
Multi-Prompt (::)
Weight different parts of your prompt:
/imagine prompt: cat::2 dog::1
# Cat is 2x more important than dog
Image Prompts
Use an image URL as part of your prompt:
/imagine prompt: https://example.com/image.jpg a futuristic cityscape
Character Reference (--cref)
/imagine prompt: character in different scene --cref <image-url>
Maintains character consistency across images.
Style Reference (--sref)
/imagine prompt: original content --sref <image-url>
Applies the style of a reference image.
Workflow Examples
Logo Design
/imagine prompt: minimalist tech logo, geometric shapes, gradient blue, vector style --ar 1:1 --v 6
# Review 4 options
# Click U2 to upscale best one
# Click V2 for variations of that style
# Repeat until satisfied
Character Concept Art
/imagine prompt: full body character design, fantasy rogue, leather armor, daggers, dynamic pose --ar 2:3 --niji 6
# Upscale favorite
# Use /variations for pose variations
# Use --cref to maintain character in new scenes
Product Visualization
/imagine prompt: product photography, wireless headphones on marble surface, soft studio lighting, commercial --ar 4:5 --q 2
Album Cover
/imagine prompt: psychedelic album cover, abstract swirls, vibrant colors, 1970s style --ar 1:1 --stylize 500
Tips
- Be specific but not restrictive โ "cinematic lighting" good, "exactly 47 degree angle" bad
- Use artist names carefully โ "in the style of Greg Rutkowski" works, but consider living artists ethically
- Iterate โ First result rarely perfect. Use V buttons to explore variations
- Save job IDs โ Useful for referencing later
- Check Discord โ All generations saved in your Discord DMs with bot
- Use --v 6 โ Latest version has best prompt understanding
- Niji for anime --niji 6 for manga/anime style
Troubleshooting
"Queue full" โ Wait a few minutes, try again during off-peak hours
"Invalid parameter" โ Check parameter syntax, some require specific values
"Content policy violation" โ Adjust prompt to avoid restricted content
"Can't upscale" โ Job may have expired (24hr limit on free accounts)
"Text looks wrong" โ MJ struggles with text. Try --no text or use DALL-E 3 for text-heavy images
"Faces look distorted" โ Common issue. Try --v 6, add "photorealistic" or use inpainting
