Midjourney V5 is incredibly potent, but you
probably know that by now. The problem with that is that there are so many options, so many
styles, so many keywords that you can utilize that no human being can keep track of all of
it. And that's why, with the help of my team, I put together a spreadsheet that shows you all
the various tricks that you need to consider. And not just that, I will show you all the tricks
today. I will also show you Midjourney V4 and Midjourney V5 results so you can get a better
feeling for what these different models are capable of. And my hope is that after looking at
some of these examples together, you can go into the sheet and try experimenting yourself because
the only real way to get better at using AI for your work or pleasure is to use it. So now, I'm
gonna lead you through this entire sheet that we prepared. Then, there's gonna be a link in
the description so you can explore it yourself and test some of these prompts and keywords
that we're prepared. And look, let's be real, this could easily be a paid product, and I'm
open-sourcing it and providing you with free video training to go along with it. All I ask of you
is to like this video so more people can see it, and check out our Discord Community where
thousands of people are discussing AI art on a daily basis and sharing their little tips
and tricks and results while they get better at it. Honestly, there's no better way to do
this than with the power of community. So, check out the Discord, but now let's dive in, and
let's look at this massive sheet of 100 Midjourney tricks where I'm confident that everybody can
find some tricks that they didn't know before. Okay, first up, you can find a link to this
in the description below, but let me walk you through this. So, the way this is set up, you
always have a prompt on the left side. You have the Midjourney V4 result, and then you have the
majority V5 result. We also added these notes to the site whenever we begin a new category of
tips. So, for example, these are the big guns: very detailed prompts that get you a
specific result that is stunning. And then, prompts 7 to 11 are all about weights and how they
affect the image. So, what I would recommend is go category by category and explore that, try
those prompts, and then move on. And that's exactly what we're going to be doing in this
video. So, let's start with the first category. These are the big guns, these are really
big prompts that are super detailed, and they work really well in both V4 and
V5. You might recognize that these look very similar as the outputs of the GPT-4 prompt
generator that I showed you in another video, and that's because that was the exact starting
point for these, but we customized them a little bit. So, as you can see here, we, for example,
add emotional context, and in the end, we also have the art medium. And there are a lot of little
keywords like this throughout this entire sheet, so you will just have to experiment and dive
deep to find all the little Easter eggs that we hid in here. But what I personally find
particularly interesting about these big guns is the difference between V4 and V5. Because
once you get this precise with your prompting, the results are quite similar, actually. But you
can see that hey, Mid-4 gives you photorealistic results, but V5 has that little X Factor to it
that even with my background in photography and videography. I'm not exactly sure if it's the
sharpness, if it's the way the lighting falls onto the characters here, it just pushes
it over the edge of realism. Which is one thing that I really realized by reviewing this
sheet. But for example, in this first prompt, I don't even see that big of a difference. The
water looks more realistic, and yes, this is a little bit of a painting style, and this depth of
field looks like it came from a camera, but with these big gun prompts, the difference is not as
dramatic. So, I just thought that was interesting. So, in today's video, we're exploring 100

Good luck out there and happy selling. So, let's look at the next category, which is
all about prompt weights. And if you didn't know, prompt weights are a way to combine two or more
concepts, and then, as the name suggests, you can weigh one of the two more, so it becomes more
dominant. So, for example, here we're emphasizing the tiger, and as you can see, it's the dominant
object inside of the picture. Again, the difference between V4 and V5 are not that large
because we are quite precise with our prompts here. But on this picture of the eagle, which uses
the keyword "photorealistic image," we can really see the difference. V4 gives us a painting, and V5
does its best to emulate the wildlife photo. Also, this image of a tropical beach - this looks
like a drone photo straight off Instagram, and this is a simple painting. But the details are
more subtle than that - you can see the textures really changed, and all these little differences
are just something you're gonna have to feel out while using it. For example, if I switch to my
second setup here and I copy the prompt. All you need to do is go into My Journey. Yes, now you do
need a paid plan, but you can simply copy it in here. And you know, maybe I want to change the
aspect ratio to 16x9 for a YouTube thumbnail, and then I hit enter, and it will generate this
image. So, there's like zero work involved in testing this. So, there you go. We just generated
this twice, and as you can see, we get similar results here. And you can do the same. This is
what I would recommend for your favorites. Take the prompt, regenerate it yourself, and start
adding little parts or taking some parts away. Okay, so next up, number 12 is super exciting
because before, I already showed you how to copy artist style by using the keyword of their
name. But here's another way: by using the keyword "Style Fusion," you're able to combine multiple
styles. And from our testing, this works even better than including the name of one artist and
then the name of a second artist. And hey, in my opinion, this is where we enter the interesting
territory of this sheet because as you can see, this is not natural language. This is a bunch
of keywords. But the Midjourney V5 results are still excellent. And this is the type of knowledge
that I'm trying to communicate here: you do not need natural language to make V5 work very well. I
mean, look at this picture. Some of these results are stunning, and it all comes from a bunch of
keywords. And that's the thing with AI, there's no one right way to do it. There's multiple ways
because the neural net is so complex. I'll give you a little tip here though that was communicated
by the majority team during the release of V5. If you use keywords like Octane Render, 8K, Unreal
Engine, it will turn it into more of a video gamish look than a photorealistic look in V5.
So, you know, just something to be aware of. Moving on, starting with prompt 17, you can see
some keywords that will get you these trippy results. Feel free to play with these, feel free
to copy-paste parts of this prompt into your own prompts. You will get some crazy stuff from this.
And similarly, in the next category, we talk about the various ways in which art is displayed and
not just what you see inside of the art. So, for example, if you say "Provide an exploded
view," you will get this very particular style that is referred to as an exploded view. This
is an incredible keyword whenever you're working with products. I mean, look at this vintage card.
This is incredible. Another one here would be the "nulling perspective," which, by the way, makes
excellent content for your social media accounts. Okay, at prompt 26, we start talking about artist
styles, which is a video that I created before, but it's just important to go into as it's one
of the main capabilities of My Journey. You can use any artist's name, like Banksy here,
to get similar results. This is also the one that stirs all the controversy, but it's hard
to avoid as the results are simply stunning. Next up, we need to talk about my personal
favorite: juxtaposition. This is where you create as much contrast between two topics.
So, as you can see here, we have a medieval knight on a horse in the middle of New York,
or you have a graveyard with fireworks. It is less of a keyword and more of a concept that I
would like you to consider because if you put VR headsets on elderly people playing bingo,
you simply put, gonna get interesting results. Or these visuals of a Victorian era ballroom,
and then in the center of the ballroom stands a futuristic teleportation device. You take two
opposites, and Midjourney can create something completely new from that. I absolutely love
this technique. Try some of these out. And now, let's move on. And here, we enter the fun
territory. So, you can really combine text, emojis, aspect ratios, and different parameters
to get these super dynamic images. And these would be some examples. So, here we also use emojis to
emphasize some of the points. And when you look at these fairytale-like results, I personally
think these two are absolutely excellent, and we achieved that by including various
techniques, including a description of all the elements that we see in here, plus
emojis on top. And if you didn't know or realize it, it also considers the color palette
of the emojis. Whenever you include a rainbow, it doesn't just mean there might be a rainbow
in your image. It also means that you use the various colors inside of a rainbow emoji.
And here, from 46 on, we go into emojis only, which is kind of a fun exercise and doesn't work
as well with V5 anymore. But that doesn't mean it doesn't work. Your results just start going all
over the place. Because, as you can see here, if we use castle, dragon, sword, and shield, in
V4, we get this dragon knight. In V5, we get... I don't know, this one looks like a custom-built
in Minecraft. This is some screen in a mobile game. But sometimes, it gets super interesting.
Because look at the next one. Rocket, alien, planet, stars. With V4, you get this result that
I would call typical for V4. But with V5, look at this little alien. This is super crazy. I would
have never expected this. And I'm glad I'm seeing this right now. And if you look at this example of
the burger, fry, and beer emojis, while with V5, you're gonna see the photorealistic tendencies
that the model has. We said nothing about photorealistic. It just simply does it after we
provided it with a bunch of emojis. Okay, next up, we show you a bunch of examples of punk styles.
Most people are only familiar with steampunk, but there's more. How about nanopunk? You get
this futuristic technology-infused look that I personally love. Or this one is diesel punk. Or
how about gothic punk? Extremely strong visuals, and especially in V5, you get these scary-looking
characters with a crimson background. Again, it's just one of those things that you wouldn't have
thought by yourself, but yeah, here you have it. Gothic punk is a thing, and you can use it. Okay,
56 is all about making your images beautiful, and it's important to realize inside of my journey
that there are different types of beauty. So, as you can see in the note here, there's visual,
emotional, and intellectual. And by us focusing on these different aspects in our prompts, we're
going to be able to achieve a lot of different results. So, for example, here we say breathtaking
visual beauty, and this one says emotional beauty level. And that's where Midjourney really
starts tapping into emotional expressions that it learned through its training material.
And look, intellectual beauty is yet another style that you can use to your advantage. Okay,
at 61, there's another category which talks all about descriptive prompts, and again, these
are these long prompts that leave nothing to chance. You can play around with these, and you
can always just take a particular part. Here, because they're so detailed, you could
maybe just take this part amidst a sea of golden hues and apply that to the image that
you're generating right now. Okay, next up, so this is a really funny one. We keep the prompt
super short, but by using a microscope Emoji, you're able to get macro photography-like results.
If you're not familiar, macro photography is where the subject gets very close to a lens, and you're
able to achieve this high level of detail. Okay, or if you want to create some characters,
here's a bunch of prompts that can do that, and again, be careful with the keywords like
8K, Octane Render, Unreal Engine. In V5, the results will be more like a video game
than a photo. And we're nearing the end here, but there's more gems in here. The next one would
be emotional descriptions, and by describing some of the emotions in here, it creates a visual look
that matches it. This was also super interesting, so for example, face is drawn and tense, and you
get a fire in the background without us explicitly mentioning include a fire. Okay, next up, this is
a really great technique because what we do here is instead of separating the different keywords by
commas, we separate them with the addition symbol, and this forces the journey to read the prompt
from start to finish. So you can think of this as a Photoshop document where it layers the
different elements one by one, and it starts with the very first one. And honestly, these
results are stunning, but that's due to a lot of the hyper-realistic and 4K related keywords
in here. But it's also partially due to the fact that it's layered differently with this addition
keyword in between. This is really one wall you have to experiment with, but now let's talk about
the next one, which is the "versus" keyword. You can create these crazy split images just by
using the keyword "versus." So for example, nature versus human nature, you get this visually
incredibly deep results where it shows different seasons in a fantasy landscape. I mean, this one
in particular is an extremely powerful keyword with a very specific outcome. Okay, and last but
definitely not least, one of the most interesting capabilities of Midjourney V5 is using the keyword
"anthropomorphic." So if you're not familiar, this is a common term within the AI space, and it
means giving human attributes to something that is non-human. And by starting your prompts with
this, you can create these fantastical creatures that don't exist, but they resemble humans.
Because we use this keyword, in this case, you get an anthropomorphic majestic blobfish
night. So I don't know, did I over-promise, or did you find a bunch of new techniques in here? If
you did, I want to see your results. Head on over to our Discord server, and we have an art contest
running every week. You can submit your results, and others can vote on it. If you get the most
votes, we'll probably be featured in my weekly newsletter that at this point goes out to around
65,000 people. Also, there's a special role in the Discord for art contest winners, which lets
everybody know that you're the real deal when it comes to my journey. But even beyond that,
it's just a fantastic place to discuss all of these prompts and to get all of your AI-related
questions answered in the AI beginner rooms. And if you want to go even deeper on my journey, I
recommend you watching this video because using GPT-4 is really the ultimate hack to MidJourney
V5 and again I hope to see you in the Discord!
