Step 1: Set Up Your Midjourney Environment
Ensure you’re on Discord with Midjourney v6 enabled. Use /settings to confirm --v 6 is active. Enable fast mode (/prefer fal) for quicker iterations.
Step 2: Build Each Prompt Using the 4-Part Formula
For every subject (e.g., 企鹅, 日出), apply this structure:
- Subject: Clear noun + descriptor (e.g., "majestic emperor penguin")
- Style: Art medium or artist reference (e.g., "Studio Ghibli illustration")
- Modifiers: Lighting, mood, detail flags (e.g., "golden hour lighting, ultra-detailed, 8k")
- Parameters:
--v 6 --style raw --s 750
Step 3: Refine with Negative Prompts & Aspect Ratios
Add --no text, blurry, deformed to suppress artifacts. Use --ar 16:9 for landscapes (日出, 柚子城) and --ar 1:1 for characters (九尾狐, 蛇女). Test variations with --q 2 for higher fidelity.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Speed | Faster iteration with --fast mode |
| Quality | Better coherence and detail in v6 |
Step 4: Iterate Based on Output Analysis
Compare initial outputs against your intent. If 龙宝宝 looks too aggressive, add --stylize 500 and swap "ferocious" for "playful, chubby, glowing eyes". Save successful prompts as templates.
