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.
