How to make Anime with Midjourney AI Art - NEW FEATURE 'Niji'
Howto & Style
Introduction
Creating unique and captivating images with artificial intelligence has never been more exciting, especially with the introduction of the new Niji mode in Midjourney. This powerful algorithm aims to generate stunning anime-style illustrations, offering users new opportunities for creativity. In this article, we’ll explore how to leverage this new feature to create your own anime art.
Step 1: Understanding Niji Mode
After experimenting with Midjourney, I discovered that switching to Niji mode could yield different artistic styles. Originally, my intention was to create a superhero martial arts warrior. After realizing that I desired an anime style, I decided to switch modes. Users can easily access this feature either by using the command --niji directly in their prompts or by navigating through the settings menu by typing /settings.
Step 2: Creating Your First Anime Character
To see the changes in style, I entered the same prompt in Niji mode, and the results were impressive. For instance, when prompted with “imagine a happy dog smiling” followed by --niji, the resulting image mirrored that desired anime aesthetic. Interestingly, the image not only captured the spirit of anime but also had a hint of photorealism in the dog’s features, maintaining a balance that highlights the strengths of this new algorithm.
Step 3: Finding Your Style
Initially, I had to specify "anime style" to get the desired results, as most prompts could yield varied artistic interpretations. However, with Niji mode activated, Midjourney would automatically infuse the images with an anime flair, achieving a delightful outcome. The variation in results allows for experimentation with different themes and characters. Whether you're trying out established characters from your favorite series or creating something entirely new, there’s a wealth of potential with this innovative feature.
Conclusion
Having dabbled in a little anime, I found the Niji mode offers a fresh take on the art form. I encourage everyone to play around with their prompts and discover the magic of anime art using this advanced tool.
