Excited to share my latest exploration on leveraging Midjourney’s “Style References” feature.

Note: (1) This feature is available in V6 and Niji 6 only.

We are going to start with this basic prompt in Midjourney 6. For this lesson, I am starting in the alpha.midjourney.com platform (instead of Discord) but it works the same.

We will start simple enough with the — sref feature, only adding to the END of our prior text-only prompt.

The image on the right of the face splattered in paint (pretty cool) that looks like a textured painting — is from a prompt shared in the new book I released with over 365 prompts inside! All the images contained in this brief lesson on — sref are from my just released book on Midjourney 6 prompts. Over 365 prompts to explore… and with — sref, over 365 INFLUENCES to apply to other prompts!
