Tips
- 1Start with a strong visual style and genre to give Midjourney a clear artistic direction for your character.
- 2Be specific with your subject details: describe clothing, accessories, unique features, and even a brief personality hint.
- 3Use time period and environment to add context and depth to your character, influencing their attire and overall aesthetic.
- 4Experiment with different lighting types (e.g., 'dramatic backlighting', 'soft studio lighting') to highlight character features and mood.
- 5If generating multiple characters, use consistent descriptors for 'VISUAL STYLE', 'GENRE', and 'FILM STOCK / RESOLUTION' to maintain a cohesive look across designs.
- 6Leverage 'COMPOSITION' and 'FRAME SIZE' to control how much of the character is shown and from what perspective, crucial for showcasing specific design elements.
