List of Midjourney Prompts – Followchain

Midjourney is an AI that generates art/images based on your prompts.

For example, if you use “/imagine prompt: colorful butterfly”, the AI will generate an image of what it thinks a colorful butterfly is.

However, using one adjective like “colorful” is usually not sufficient.

If you use one adjective, the AI will usually generate something simple.

Hence, it’s recommended that you use multiple adjectives and descriptions for the AI to generate an accurate image.

Instead of “colorful butterfly”, you can use “a rainbow-colored butterfly flying across a field of flowers during a sunset”.

The more descriptive you are, the better the results.

This guide contains a list of Midjourney prompts, tips, and examples you can take inspiration from.
