Banned word — work around — secrets revealed!
How many times have you been given a similar popup like the one below after carefully entering all the details for the prompt??
The first banned phrase we will tackle is gorgeous teen and teen girl. Honestly, I don’t see why teen is banned but it is a very easy workaround.
Correction: This did not generate as easily as I anticipated!
To bypass this, simply put gorgeous girl/guy/lady/man and list the desired age.
Note: I specified bikini — many images were straight-up porn! Or horribly distorted porn! What the heck?!
I also received sunbathers that looked like they’d been deprived of food and water for weeks! Far more disturbing than sun-dried fruits…
In the beginning, I often received images of the ladies underwater — no matter if I put water park, surfer, and yes, I ended up trying mermaid.
I used a gorgeous woman and 19 years old for the image above…the bikini — I don’t know where it’s at but this is better than extra collar bones and distorted breasts. LOL
Image prompt for the lady above:
full-body shot of gorgeous woman, 19 years old, long hair, bikini, water park, peaceful, hyperdetailed, cinematic still shot, 32k, by Mario Testino, Vogue
Then I decided to change up the prompt based on one I had done in the past and was very pleased with — Xoey’s prompt.
Previous images often had the hair wet and slicked back against the head — not what I was going for. Xoey’s prompt base fixed that.
This was a longer prompt than I was going to use but the basis is the same.
The main part to achieve the gorgeous teen is gorgeous lady and 18 years old. You could use terms such as beach goddess with the chosen age as well.
Image prompt for the lady above:
Full-body shot, gorgeous lady with long hair with highlights, updo hair, peaceful, 18 years old, hourglass figure, symmetrical face, bikini and shorts, beach, hyperdetailed, cinematic still shot, full-shot angle, 32k, by Mario Testino, by Vogue
The next banned word is bloody. This image had to follow my character in Forgotten Memories so the prompt is very in-depth.
How I achieved the blood-splattered appearance, without blood in the prompt is with red splattered black dress shirt.
Where’s the black dress shirt, you ask? I asked that too. I probably should have separated red splattered and black dress shirt with a comma.
Note: Midjourney now allows the use of blood but bloody is still banned. (Images will not show up in community feed.)
Image prompt for the man above:
hyperdetailed image of Full-body shot, tall man with tousled brown hair, brown eyes, tan skin, confused, gorgeous model, muscular, 25 years old, trimmed beard, symmetrical face, red splattered black dress shirt with blue tie, living room, hyperdetailed, morning light, cinematic still shot, full-shot angle, 32k, by Mario Testino
Note: Be careful trying to generate something banned. I received an alert against my account! Regardless — Midjourney generated much more porn — and they didn’t use to!
Breasts, chest, boobs, voluptuous — they are all banned words. But what if you are trying to generate a specific character? Someone fuller? If you know of a good workaround, let us know.
One way I know of around this is to use curvy figure or hourglass figure in your prompt.
(The below prompt is the same prompt used to generate the dancer as the opening image, as well.)
Image prompt for the dancing teen above:
dancing goddess, long hair, updo, joyful, 20 years old, hourglass figure, mini skirt, night club, symmetrical face, hyperdetailed, gossamer, cinematic still shot, full-shot angle, 32k, by Mario Testino
