10 Midjourney Prompts that Will BLOW YOUR MIND

Today, we’re going on an exciting journey through AI artistry as we explore 10 of the best Midjourney prompts. The images you’ll create are absolutely mind blowing!
These prompts aren’t just awe-inspiring. They’re handpicked to spark your creativity, ignite your imagination, and show you the astonishing potential that lies within Midjourney. You’ll learn a lot about prompting and ways to personalize the prompts.
The prompts span a broad spectrum, from the simple to the complex, from the mundane to the abstract. I’ll even sneak in a couple of my private prompts that I usually offer for sale. Just for my favorite readers!
I’m running the prompts in Midjourney, but try them in other AI image generators like Leonardo AI or Dall-e 3. You’ll get a different look. But different can be exciting!
This isn’t about what AI art can do; it’s about what YOU can do with AI art.
Vintage Photography
Let’s start with some AI photography. But not just any photos, vintage photos.
PROMPT: Cyanotype printing portrait art, Graphic design, poster, fine art — s 200 — ar 9:16 — chaos 15 — version 5.2

Note: In Midjourney, type two hyphens before each parameter
Cyanotype is one of my favorite types of vintage photography. Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that produces a cyan-blue print, like you’d see on blueprints.
This prompt generates a blend of old and new, crafting a vintage cyanotype print with modern appeal, perfect for a chic poster.
Personalize the prompt by adding a color or trying other vintage photography techniques like infrared, or polaroid.

Vintage Trading Card
From a vintage poster to vintage trading cards, this prompt moves away from beauty and into the humorous, and slightly grotesque.
PROMPT: Vintage Topps Mutant League Football trading card from the 1980’s, distressed, scratched::2 in the style of Garbage Pail Kids, Risograph::1.5 — ar 2:3 — style raw — v 5.2 — s 250

The distressed style lend the card an additional layer of vintage charm and a unique look that’s a bit off-kilter, much like the characters themselves. Customize it by changing the subject to create your own unique vintage trading cards. Try making trading cards of iconic movie stars, retro space age astronauts, classic cars. Or switch the style to something like Victorian Gothic.
If you’re prompting in Dall-e 3 or another AI image generator, remove the numbers and the double colons in this prompt.
PROMPT: Vintage Topps Mutant League Football trading card from the 1980’s, distressed, scratched in the style of Garbage Pail Kids, Risograph

The double colons let you add weight to the words for more emphasis.

Interior Design
And if you’re into interior design, Here’s one of my favorite prompts. It’s so flexible! Decorate just about every room of your home in any color and style you want. This prompt will give you a stunning image right out of an interior design magazine.
PROMPT: interior, bathroom in a victorian architectural style, clean modern design featuring blue and white color scheme, beautiful light — v 5

It’s simple to switch out the room, color palette, and the architectural style.
Children’s Book
If color is your thing, create some rainbows perfect for a children’s book. Select artists along with neo-pop and risograph combine to create this colorful graphic illustration. And the prompt reminds us that an emoji sometimes is the best way to communicate with the AI.
PROMPT: Neo-pop art risograph print, the man is walking through a colorful 🌈 landscape, in the style of hikari shimoda, alex colville, young british artists (ybas), sandy skoglund, realist detail, pensive stillness, children’s book illustrations — no mockup — style raw — ar 51:91 — v 5.2

This prompt uses the the — no parameter. This tells the AI what you don’t want to see.

Artist Combo
Here are is one of my most cherished artist combinations.
Creating AI images has opened up a universe of inspiring artists. The AI image generators are brilliant at merging artistic styles to create something new and fresh, and you’ll spot various artists’ names in these prompts. Try it out by changing the city or ask for a scene like a forest.
PROMPT: venice in the style of bill carman, classical balance, traditional street scenes, debbie criswell, dramatic movement, suspended/hanging, classical proportions — ar 5:7

One of the best things about AI image generators is the ability to blend artistic styles.You can substitute any artists’ names in the prompt.
Some AI image generators block the use of artists’ names. But there’s no problem with prompting for the artist’s style! If you don’t know how to put an artist’s style into words, ask ChatGPT to describe the look.

Now, you have the language to describe an art style that you like.
For more on whether or not you should use artists’ names in AI image prompts, see my video “No-Name Prompts: Prompt AI Images without Artists’ Names”
Darkness
If you want to push the dark fear and terror, using emotions in a prompt is sometimes the easiest way of describing the vibe. You can add a dark subject, but the juxtaposition using a normally cute subject with the dark emotions. A few words will get you an image straight out of a nightmare.
PROMPT: Kitty, lovecraftian, anxiety, panic — ar 9:16

I have an entire Halloween video on prompts that explore the dark side of art, without hitting the NSFW filters! “Creepy AI Prompts: Halloween’s Darkest AI Aesthetics”
Random Craziness
And if you want some craziness, it’s hard to beat this prompt. Just keep re-rolling, and re-rolling the prompt. You’ll get crazy, disturbing, yet somehow beautiful images every time.
PROMPT: art from beyond, highly detailed, rich colors, surrealism photography — ar 2:3 — c 20 — s 250

Cuteness
But enough of the surrealism, Let’s up the cuteness with a faded tonal tint. Your prompts don’t have to be long, Each word in this short prompt packs a powerful punch, including the mezzotint printmaking technique.
PROMPT: tiny cute hedgehog, beach, mezzotint — ar 1:2

Any tiny cute animal or thing will work, and they don’t need to be at the beach.
Pixel Fun
If you like your images to have a tech vibe, try mixing infographic and 8-bit style for a pixelated look.
PROMPT: 8bit surreal abstract owl infographic on a blue background — v 5

You can set the background color and try different animals and objects. And if you want a bit more weirdness, try adding — weird parameter to your prompt. Choose a number up to 3000 and watch Midjourney spin some really weird images!
Fractal Pattern
If patterns are your thing, who doesn’t love a fractal especially one with subsurface translucent lighting for added depth. You can substitute another type of pattern, like a mosaic or one of my favorites — bacteria art.
PROMPT: flat silky smooth surfaces, fractal voronoi golden pattern embedded in ceramic, rainbow tint, subsurface scattering, translucent lighting — c 10 — s 1000 — tile — ar 2:1

In Midjourney, use the tile command ( — tile) with this prompt and your panels will line up on the edges to create an infinite pattern. Also prompt “seamless pattern”.
BONUS! Something Poetic
And remember you don’t have to give the AI a subject, give it a vibe instead and let it do its thing. Some of the best prompts are the least visually descriptive. Wind up the AI like a clockwork toy and let it go explore something magical.
PROMPT: i grew a flower that can’t be bloomed in a dream that can’t come true
