Tips
- 1Be specific with your game's genre and target platform: 'Mobile RPG Character' or 'PC RTS Environment' helps Midjourney narrow down stylistic choices.
- 2Use references for unique styles: If you have a specific art style in mind (e.g., 'Ghibli-esque', 'Borderlands cel-shaded'), incorporate it into your VISUAL STYLE.
- 3Break down complex assets: Instead of asking for 'a whole game level', focus on individual components like 'medieval village house asset' or 'forest path texture'.
- 4Experiment with 'COMPOSITION' and 'FRAME SIZE': These are crucial for controlling how your game art is presented, whether it's a full character sheet or an establishing shot of a city.
- 5Iterate and refine: Game art often requires consistency. Generate multiple variations of a prompt, identify what works, and then refine your prompt based on successful elements to maintain a cohesive style.
