Overview
Master the art of crafting effective Midjourney prompts to generate stunning AI images. This skill provides comprehensive guidance on Midjourney's syntax, parameters, best practices, and advanced techniques for creating cinematic, detailed images through Discord.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when you need to:
- Create optimized prompts for Midjourney image generation
- Understand and apply Midjourney parameters (
--ar, --s, --c, --q, etc.)
- Structure prompts for specific artistic styles or compositions
- Use image references and style references effectively
- Troubleshoot prompt issues or refine existing prompts
- Generate variations of existing images
- Apply advanced techniques like permutations or multi-prompts
Core Principles
1. Keep It Short and Specific
Simple, descriptive phrases work best. Avoid long lists or overly detailed instructions.
Good: sunset over mountains, golden hour, dramatic clouds --ar 16:9
Avoid: a beautiful sunset with orange and pink colors happening over some tall mountains with snow on them and there are dramatic clouds in the sky and it's during golden hour
2. Focus on Presence, Not Absence
Describe what you want to see, not what you don't want.
Good: peaceful garden with blooming flowers
Avoid: garden without weeds or dead plants
3. Use Specific Language
Choose precise words over generic descriptions.
Good: gigantic ancient oak tree
Avoid: big old tree
