How to Make Consistent Art in Midjourney V 5.2
TLDRThe video outlines a process for creating consistent art in Midjourney V 5.2 by identifying a desired style, using reference images from a movie, and leveraging Midjourney's features such as slash tune for style tuning and remix mode for variation. The creator emphasizes the importance of selecting a style, generating images with different stylized values, and refining the process by adjusting settings and re-mixing images to achieve a consistent look and feel across different subjects.
Takeaways
- 🎨 Identify a desired art style by reflecting on personal preferences, such as a favorite from childhood like Digimon's aesthetic.
- 📸 Gather reference images from the chosen style and upload them to Discord for easy access during the art creation process.
- 🔧 Utilize Midjourney's 'slash tune' feature to tune the prompt with the uploaded reference images, combining them with keywords like 'anime aesthetic'.
- 📊 Conduct a tuning test with 16 style directions and select the one that best matches the desired look.
- 🔄 Copy the entire prompt, including image links and style code, into Discord to maintain consistency across different stylized values.
- 🔄 Experiment with different stylized values (S400 and S40 as examples) to fine-tune the look of the generated art.
- 📌 Address the issue of the prompt showing an average of all image prompts by adjusting settings to turn on 'remix mode' and 'high variation mode'.
- 🛠️ Delete image prompts and style code from the remix box to avoid them affecting the new subject's generation.
- 🎯 Input a new subject, like Wonder Woman, with a specific stylized value to generate art that follows the desired aesthetic more closely.
- 🔄 Continue remixing from the chosen image or with new subjects, maintaining a consistent style throughout the generations.
- 💡 Emphasize the importance of using a lower stylize value (e.g., S40) for achieving a consistent and desired art style.
Q & A
What is the main goal of the process described in the transcript?
-The main goal is to create art in a consistent style using Midjourney V 5.2, specifically by emulating the aesthetic of Digimon the movie.
How does the speaker begin the process of achieving a consistent style?
-The speaker begins by identifying a desired style, which is the Digimon movie's art style, and gathering reference images from the movie.
What is the role of the 'slash tune' feature in Midjourney?
-The 'slash tune' feature allows users to tune a prompt with image links and keywords to achieve a specific look or style in the generated art.
Why is it important to include both image links and keywords when using the 'slash tune' feature?
-Including both image links and keywords helps Midjourney understand the visual style and context, creating a more accurate representation of the desired look.
What is the recommended number of style directions to use when creating a tuning test?
-The speaker recommends using 16 style directions, as they believe it's sufficient for most cases without overcomplicating the process.
How does the 'remix mode' and 'high variation mode' affect the generation process?
-These modes allow for more flexibility and diversity in the generated images, ensuring that the style is consistent while still allowing for some variation in the subjects and scenes.
Why is it necessary to delete the image prompts and style code when remixing an image?
-Deleting the image prompts and style code prevents them from influencing the remix, allowing Midjourney to focus on the new subject while maintaining the desired style.
What is the significance of the stylize value (S40) mentioned in the transcript?
-The stylize value (S40) is significant because it represents the level of stylization applied to the image. The speaker found that this value was crucial in achieving the desired aesthetic.
How can the process be repeated to generate different characters or scenes?
-The process can be repeated by remixing the original image or continuing from a new subject, which allows for the generation of a variety of characters or scenes while maintaining the consistent style.
What is the importance of the tuning and workflow process in achieving consistent art?
-The tuning and workflow process are essential for achieving consistent art as they allow for precise control over the style and appearance of the generated images, ensuring that they align with the user's vision.

🎨 Achieving Consistent Style in Art Creation
The paragraph discusses the process of creating art with a consistent style, using the example of emulating the aesthetic from the movie 'Digimon'. The creator shares their personal preference for this style and explains how they utilized a combination of new and old features in the 'mid Journey' platform. They start by collecting reference images from the movie and uploading them to Discord. The creator then uses the 'slash tune' feature to tune the prompt with the images, emphasizing the importance of including keywords like 'anime aesthetic'. After conducting a tuning test and selecting a preferred style, the creator suggests running the prompt with varied stylized values to refine the output. The process also involves adjusting settings to enable 'remix mode' and 'high variation mode' for a closer adherence to the prompt. The creator demonstrates how to refine the process by removing specific image prompts and style codes, and suggests using a lower stylize value for more accurate results. The paragraph concludes with the creator's satisfaction in achieving a consistent style across different characters and scenes.
🌿 Excluding Unwanted Elements for Desired Aesthetic
In this paragraph, the creator delves into the importance of refining the art generation process to exclude elements that do not align with the desired aesthetic. They discuss the potential pitfalls of including certain words in the prompt, such as 'lens', which might introduce an undesired vibe, especially in anime-style art. The creator shares their joy in achieving images that closely resemble the Digimon movie's aesthetic, despite the challenges of narrowing down the perfect look. They emphasize the significance of the stylized value (S40) in the process and share examples of successful outputs, like a sports car and various characters from different universes. The creator also provides a recap of the steps involved in tuning a style, selecting a preferred style, and using remix and variation features effectively. They encourage viewers to experiment with the process and share their creations, offering a hopeful message for achieving a consistent and desired style in art generation.
