Create MIdjourney AI Art in Any Artists Style With One Prompt - Tutorial and Reference Sheet

Summary

The video demonstrates how to generate custom AI art using the Midjourney platform. The host emphasizes that Midjourney can create artworks modeled after almost any existing style or artist. To illustrate, the host shares examples of Midjourney artworks in specific styles - an anime character, a medieval plague doctor painting resembling the work of Santiago Caruso, and a painting of a French bulldog playing poker in Adam Hughes' style. The core technique relies on using the syntax '/imagine [subject] in the style of [artist/style]' when submitting a Midjourney prompt. The host explains he will share access to a spreadsheet cataloging 150+ character artists and other style examples to easily reference when crafting prompts. These spreadsheets organize various artists and styles into categories like 'characters,' 'landscapes,' and different genres. To demonstrate, the host crafts several Midjourney prompts using sample artists/styles from the sheet, generating high quality AI art tailored to those aesthetic styles. The host emphasizes how using exact artist names yields better results compared to just loosely describing a style. In summary, the key arguments made are: - Midjourney can mimic almost any artist/style when specified in an imagine prompt - Leveraging the shared spreadsheet of 150+ styles makes mimicking styles easy - Specifying an exact artist name versus just a descriptive style improves results The core message is that the Midjourney platform paired with this 'style reference' spreadsheet provides an incredibly powerful way for users to generate custom high quality AI art in their aesthetic style of choice.

The speaker introduces a Mid-Journey AI art tutorial that will show viewers how to create any style of art they want using text prompts. They share some example images created in unfamiliar or specific art styles.

Instructions for Using Mid-Journey Prompts

The speaker explains how to create Mid-Journey prompts by starting with "/imagine" and specifying a subject and style. They refer viewers to a shared spreadsheet of artist names and styles to use. The speaker demonstrates by creating a prompt for a French bulldog playing poker in Adam Hughes' style.

Overview of Mid-Journey Style and Subject Options

The speaker provides an overview of the different tabs in the shared spreadsheet, including character artists, landscape artists, video game styles, and creative styles. They emphasize combining "in the style of" with items from the spreadsheet.

Closing Thanks

The speaker closes by thanking viewers for watching and hoping they create new art using the Mid-Journey prompt guidelines covered in the tutorial.

Keywords

💡Midjourney

Midjourney is an AI system that generates images from text prompts. It is one of the main topics of the tutorial video, which aims to teach viewers how to use Midjourney to create art in any style they want. The video demonstrates using Midjourney prompts like "French Bulldog in the style of Adam Hughes" to produce high quality AI-generated art.

💡Art style

Art style refers to the distinctive visual appearance of art from a particular movement, period, artist, etc. The video focuses on using Midjourney to mimic the styles of famous artists in order to create AI art that looks like it was made by those artists. For example, it shows a plague doctor image created "in the style of Santiago Caruso".

💡Prompt engineering

Prompt engineering means carefully crafting the text prompts provided to AI systems like Midjourney in order to get better results. The video advises structuring prompts as "[Subject] in the style of [Artist]" to produce images mimicking that artist's style. Prompt engineering is key to guiding the AI output.

💡Discord

Discord is an online chat platform popular with gaming and AI communities. The video instructor shares a Midjourney resource spreadsheet via a Discord server to help viewers learn prompt engineering. Discord enables Midjourney users to collaborate.

💡Upscaling

Upscaling refers to increasing the resolution of a digital image using AI, to enhance image quality. The video shows some Midjourney outputs that have been upscaled to make them cleaner and more detailed. Upscaling helps improve the AI art.

💡Aesthetic

Aesthetic means the philosophical theory or set of principles governing the idea of beauty at a given time and place. The video explores producing art in different historical and genre aesthetics by mimicking famous artists. The output art reflects those aesthetic ideals.

💡Creativity

Though Midjourney creates the images, the video frames prompt engineering as a creative act. Creativity involves combining ideas in an original way. By prompting Midjourney to blend artistic styles and subjects, users can guide AI creativity.

💡Automation

Automation is the use of technology to produce outputs with minimal human labor. Midjourney automates parts of the artistic process like rendering skills and style mimicking. The video presents these AI capabilities as automation tools for creators.

💡Art genres

The video includes art genres like medieval, renaissance, anime, and cyberpunk. Prompting Midjourney to match these genres produces output accordingly. Specifying genres provides artistic direction for the AI.

💡Artists

Naming specific artists like Caravaggio and Adam Hughes in prompts makes Midjourney emulate their styles. The video compiles famous artists as references for steering the AI aesthetic. Studying these artists informs prompt engineering.
