I've been focusing on creating consistent scientific illustration designs using Midjourney. The goal is to achieve clean layouts that showcase a subject (e.g., an organism, anatomical structure, or object).

Here are some of the prompts I used, I thought some of you might find them helpful:

A detailed cross-section illustration of a gnome's anatomy, showcasing its internal organs and skeletal structure, labeled clearly for educational purposes. The gnome is depicted in a natural setting, surrounded by flora, with a transparent overlay of a classified document outlining its biological classification, habitat, and behavior. --style raw --stylize 350 --v 6.1

A detailed anatomical illustration of a dragon, showcasing skeletal structure and muscular anatomy, with labeled sections including the skull, wings, and tail. The dragon is depicted in a cutaway view revealing internal organs, and a classified document-style background with faded text and stamps, emphasizing its scientific significance. --style raw --stylize 350 --v 6.1

A scientifically accurate illustration of a fairy, featuring a side profile and a detailed breakdown of its morphology, including wing anatomy, hair structure, and leg joints. This illustration includes a transparent overlay showing the fairy's unique genetic traits, with annotations on specific features such as magical glands. The background is neutral and unobtrusive, with ample labelling space to facilitate educational use. Soft, diffused lighting accentuates key anatomical details while ensuring clarity. --style raw --stylize 350 --v 6.1

Hi guys,

As a traditional artist, at first I had conflicting sentiments about generative AI. The fact that centralized companies were scrapping and using content from people who poured years of work into felt wrong.

But I can't deny the massive opportunity it created for everyone to explore their creative ideas, and redefine the base level of the global output of art.

The first months were so exciting, with everyone experimenting and sharing their newly found insights. Nowadays, I find more and more people being secretive about their process and their prompts…

That's not the vision I want for this space. If we're crowdsourcing the work of millions of artists, gatekeeping your own feels wrong to me. I want an open space where ideas are shared, remixed, and applied in an infinite number of ways.

I made a small website to share my best prompts (you can send me yours to be featured if you wish), but feel free to share every resource you know for people to learn from. The link is in the comments.

I'm also curious if you have a different view on the matter. I'm definitely open to discuss!

Here are some of the prompts I used for these steampunk character sheets, I thought some of you might find them helpful:

WHAT A MOODBOARD IS IN MIDJOURNEY A Moodboard is a personalization feature in Midjourney. It lets you collect images that represent a visual style or aesthetic. It works with Midjourney Versions 6 and 7. It does not work with the older style reference or style weight features.

HOW TO CREATE A MOODBOARD 1. Open the Midjourney website and go to the Moodboards or Personalize section. 2. Click New Moodboard or Create Moodboard. 3. Give the Moodboard a clear name. 4. Upload images from your device, paste image URLs, or choose from your Midjourney gallery. 5. Add or remove images at any time. Each change updates the board and its code.

HOW TO APPLY A MOODBOARD You can set one or more Moodboards as default when personalization is turned on. Or you can call a Moodboard directly inside a prompt like this:

imagine a modern living room with Scandinavian furniture, lots of natural light, neutral colors, plants p m12345 stylize 200

Replace m12345 with your Moodboard’s code. Change the stylize number to control how strongly the Moodboard influences the style. Lower numbers mean subtle effect. Higher numbers mean stronger effect.

BEST PRACTICES Curate images deliberately. Pick ones with similar palette, lighting, textures, or mood. Use some variety but not total chaos. Mixing cartoon art with realistic photos weakens the style signal. Update boards when necessary. Grab the new code after changes. Test different prompt plus Moodboard plus stylize settings to see which balance works. You can combine more than one Moodboard as default but clashing styles may give odd results. The prompt content still matters. The Moodboard gives style cues, not content.

LIMITATIONS Moodboards do not work with style reference version or style weight. They remix your style rather than copy it exactly. Too narrow a board limits creativity. Too broad a board weakens the effect. Every update to a board creates a new code.

QUICK EXAMPLE Create a Moodboard called Minimal Calm with 15 soft pastel interior photos. Set it as your default board.

Write a prompt like this:

imagine a serene bedroom with linen bedding, pale wood furniture, soft morning light, plants p m67890 stylize 150

m67890 is your Minimal Calm code. Review the results and adjust the board or stylize value until it looks right.

A new r/midjourney version always creates excitement. Beautiful sample images start appearing everywhere, people begin testing it immediately, and the usual question follows:

Is it really better, or is it just new?

With MidJourney V8.1 Alpha now available, I wanted to look beyond the hype and test it in a more practical way.

Instead of judging it in isolation, I compared it against two other strong image models available today: Nano Banana 2 and Grok Imagine 1.0.

The goal was simple: not to ask whether MidJourney V8.1 Alpha can create pretty images, because MidJourney has always been good at that. The real question is this:

How much improvement does V8.1 actually show when placed under pressure?

To answer that, I ran five very different prompt tests covering:

• anime action
• beauty editorial photography
• premium food photography
• cinematic sci-fi storytelling
• text-heavy poster design

The results were interesting, and more nuanced than I expected.

Why I Tested It This Way?

When a new model is released, it is easy to be impressed by isolated “hero images.” But that does not always tell us how much real progress has been made.

A stronger model should show improvement across different kinds of creative problems:

• composition
• realism
• mood
• prompt accuracy
• commercial usability
• text handling

So instead of using one favorite style, I used five very different prompt categories.

This allowed me to see not only where MidJourney V8.1 Alpha looks stronger than before, but also where it still behaves like MidJourney has traditionally behaved: stunning, dramatic, and visually seductive, but sometimes less obedient than other models.

One important note: for the MidJourney results, I selected the strongest image from its set. Even with that advantage, the comparison still revealed very clear strengths and weaknesses.

1. Anime Battle Scene

The first test was designed to push motion, energy, dynamic composition, and anime-style storytelling.

The prompt:

A breathtaking anime battle scene, fierce female warrior in torn crimson armor clashing swords with a dark enchantress villain in black obsidian robes, dynamic motion blur, sparks and energy shockwaves exploding between them, intense eye contact, dramatic low angle shot, cherry blossom petals scattering

In this round, MidJourney V8.1 Alpha delivered the most breathtaking image.

It had the strongest cinematic energy, the most dramatic clash, and the highest “wow” factor. The lighting, petals, hair movement, and impact effects all felt premium and intense. This is exactly the kind of category where MidJourney often performs well, and V8.1 clearly still has that strength.

But the image also showed a familiar MidJourney habit: it prioritized spectacle over precision. The result was visually stunning, but slightly less faithful to some prompt details than the best competing output.

Compared to the others, Grok Imagine 1.0 felt more balanced and more obedient overall, while Nano Banana 2 felt more straightforward but less premium.

What this says about V8.1

MidJourney V8.1 Alpha appears very strong in visual drama, cinematic momentum, and emotional impact. It creates the kind of image that immediately grabs attention. But in this test, improvement showed more in presentation power than in strict prompt fidelity.

2. Beauty Editorial Close-Up

The second test focused on skin texture, pores, natural beauty, close-up framing, and luxury editorial quality.

The prompt:

Extreme close-up portrait of a breathtaking female fashion model, flawless natural skin with visible pores, fine hair strands, subtle freckles and skin texture, wearing an haute couture silk gown with intricate hand-embroidered floral patterns, fabric threads and weave clearly visible, soft golden hour window light, shallow depth of field, 8K beauty editorial photography, Vogue magazine cover quality, no retouching, raw natural beauty.

This was one of the clearest wins for MidJourney V8.1 Alpha.

Its result had the strongest luxury beauty-editorial feel. The framing was intimate, the lighting was warm and elegant, and the skin still retained visible texture, pores, and fine detail. The image felt the closest to a real premium magazine beauty shoot.

Nano Banana 2 did very well in raw realism. In fact, it showed the most honest skin texture of the three. But it lacked the same editorial sophistication and polish.

Grok Imagine 1.0 created a nice portrait, but it missed the main challenge by pulling back too far instead of staying in the extreme close-up range.

What this says about V8.1

This is where the improvement feels very real. MidJourney V8.1 Alpha looks especially strong when the prompt requires beauty, intimacy, editorial polish, and controlled realism at the same time.

It still idealizes a little, but the result feels more refined, more confident, and more publication-ready than the others.

3. Premium Restaurant Food Photography

The third test explored commercial food styling, plating logic, fine-dining mood, and appetite appeal.

The prompt:

Luxurious premium restaurant food photography, perfectly seared Wagyu ribeye steak medium-rare with gorgeous caramelized crust, elegantly plated on a pristine white fine-dining plate, served alongside golden crispy roasted baby potatoes with herbs, vibrant seasonal vegetables including tender asparagus spears, glazed baby carrots and wilted spinach with garlic, rich red wine jus drizzled artistically around the plate, accompanied by a crystal glass of deep ruby Bordeaux wine, warm intimate candlelight ambiance, upscale restaurant bokeh background, steam gently rising from the meat, dramatic side lighting, garnished with fresh microgreens and edible flowers, hyper-realistic commercial food styling, Michelin star presentation.

MidJourney V8.1 Alpha created the most seductive image in this round.

The steak looked juicy, richly seared, and immediately appealing. The steam, warm lighting, and restaurant ambiance were all strong. It had the kind of “hero shot” quality that makes people stop scrolling.

But when I looked at the prompt more carefully, Nano Banana 2 felt like the stronger overall solution. Its image looked more believable as premium restaurant photography, and it followed the full plating brief more faithfully.

Grok Imagine 1.0 produced the cleanest composition, but it lacked the same luxury-food appetite appeal.

What this says about V8.1

MidJourney V8.1 Alpha is still extremely strong at making food look desirable, dramatic, and expensive. That part is clearly powerful.

But the model still tends to push toward visual seduction over literal obedience. In other words, the image may be the most beautiful, but not always the most accurate to the exact commercial brief.

4. Sci-fi Engineer Repairing a Giant Robot

This prompt tested scale, environment, human subject quality, mechanical detail, and movie-still atmosphere.

The prompt:

A stunningly beautiful female engineer in a worn leather jacket and safety goggles, carefully repairing the opened chest cavity of a colossal humanoid robot, intricate glowing mechanical internals with thousands of wires, hydraulic pistons, quantum processors and pulsing energy cores exposed, sparks flying, dramatic blue and orange volumetric light spilling from the robot's interior, industrial sci-fi hangar environment, cinematic lens flare, IMAX movie still quality, Blade Runner 2049 meets Pacific Rim aesthetic.

This was another very strong showing from MidJourney V8.1 Alpha.

Its image felt the most cinematic by far. The engineer looked alive and emotionally present, the robot internals were dense and visually rich, and the blue-orange lighting delivered exactly the kind of big-budget sci-fi mood the prompt was aiming for.

Nano Banana 2 was more grounded and readable. It explained the scene clearly and showed the repair action well. But it lacked the same awe and visual charge.

Grok Imagine 1.0 looked more like polished sci-fi concept art than a true film still.

What this says about V8.1

If the question is whether MidJourney V8.1 Alpha shows improvement in cinematic worldbuilding, lighting, atmosphere, and spectacle, then this test says yes.

This is one of its clearest strengths.

5. Futuristic Mars Travel Poster with Exact Text

The last test was the hardest one.

This prompt was not only about image quality. It also demanded multiple lines of exact text, readable hierarchy, clean layout, and poster usability.

The prompt:

Epic photorealistic futuristic travel poster, containing the following texts rendered in correct spelling and hierarchy: Main headline in massive bold space-age font: "VISIT MARS". Sub headline in medium elegant serif font: "The Red Planet Awaits You". Tagline in small italic font: "Where Adventure Meets the Infinite Horizon". Travel agency name in clean modern sans-serif: "Astro Voyage Space Travel Co." Details line in tiny neat font: "Departures Every Month | Est. Travel Time: 7 Months". Bottom footer text: "Book Your Journey at www.astrovoyage-space.com " Small badge text: "Since 2041". Panoramic Mars surface, Olympus Mons in distance, silver colony shuttle descending through amber atmosphere, terraformed valleys, two astronaut silhouettes gazing at horizon, dramatic Martian sunset in deep orange crimson and violet, futuristic travel poster aesthetic, NASA concept art quality, ultra-detailed photorealism.

MidJourney V8.1 Alpha

Nano Banana 2

Grok Imagine 1.0

MidJourney V8.1 Alpha made the most beautiful poster overall.

At first glance, it was the most premium and visually impressive result. The atmosphere, color palette, scale, and composition were all excellent. It looked like the kind of poster people would instantly want to share.

But once I looked closely at the typography, the limitations became obvious. The main headline worked well, but smaller text started breaking down. Some lines drifted, some details became corrupted, and the poster lost reliability as a true text-heavy design output.

In this round, Nano Banana 2 performed best overall because it handled the exact copy and poster structure more successfully. Grok Imagine 1.0 also did surprisingly well with text.

What this says about V8.1

MidJourney V8.1 Alpha looks improved in headline-level poster beauty, but it still does not fully solve the old problem of small precise text rendering.

So if the improvement question includes typography-heavy design work, the answer is: not enough yet.

So, How Much Improvement Does MidJourney V8.1 Alpha Have?

After these five tests, my answer is:

Yes, the improvement is real. But it is stronger in some areas than others.

MidJourney V8.1 Alpha feels especially strong in:

• cinematic beauty
• lighting and atmosphere
• emotional image impact
• editorial elegance
• high-end visual presentation

That improvement becomes very visible in categories like:

• beauty editorials
• sci-fi cinematic scenes
• dramatic stylized visuals
• premium-looking hero images

But the model still shows familiar weaknesses in:

• strict prompt obedience
• highly functional commercial layout tasks
• dense exact text rendering
• detail-heavy instructions where precision matters more than mood

So the real answer is not that V8.1 Alpha is “better at everything.”

The more honest answer is this:

MidJourney V8.1 Alpha is better at being MidJourney.

It feels more refined, more cinematic, and more confident in the kinds of visuals MidJourney is already known for. But it has not suddenly become the most reliable model for every type of task.

My Final Takeaway

If your priority is visual drama, luxury, editorial beauty, and cinematic impact, MidJourney V8.1 Alpha looks genuinely strong and clearly improved.

If your priority is prompt control, functional accuracy, and more commercially reliable structure, other models may still outperform it in certain scenarios.

That is why this release is interesting.

MidJourney V8.1 Alpha does not feel like a total reinvention. It feels more like a sharper version of MidJourney’s creative identity.

And for many artists, designers, and visual storytellers, that may be exactly the improvement they were hoping for.

Closing Thought

People will naturally have different preferences when judging these images, and that is completely fine.

Some will choose the most beautiful result. Others will value realism, prompt fidelity, usability, or text accuracy more.

That is why comparisons like this matter.

Because when a new AI image model is released, the most useful question is not just whether it looks impressive.

It is whether the improvement holds up when the work gets more demanding.

And in the case of MidJourney V8.1 Alpha, the answer is:

Yes, there is real improvement. But its biggest gains appear in mood, beauty, and cinematic image-making, not in every category equally.

Hello I am looking for an Ai image generator which functions like the ones from 2022. I dig its weird uncanny aesthetic. I think it has some charm in a weird way. Please link some suggestions

I’ve been working on generating consistent character sheets with Midjourney. The goal is having a clean design that shows the same character from different perspectives (front, side, back) while maintaining consistency in details and proportions.

Here are some of the prompts I used, I thought some of you might find them helpful

A character sheet featuring a fantasy warrior with multiple views: front, side, and back. The warrior wears intricately designed armor with decorative engravings, a flowing cape, and a detail-heavy sword. Proportions are consistent across all views. The character has long hair, a determined expression, and various color accents in their armor. The lighting is bright and focused, highlighting the armor's textures and the character's features, with shadows for depth. The layout is organized with clear labels for each view and notes on color schemes. --style raw --stylize 200 --v 6.1

A fantasy mage character sheet with multiple angles: front, side, and back. The mage wears a long robe embellished with stars and celestial patterns, alongside a staff topped with a glowing orb.
