We love retro, who doesn’t?! Combine it with the art of collage, science fiction and you get what ‘Tiggers like best’. Nicolas Neubert (@iamneubert), product designer and prompt engineer in Midjourney invited others to have some fun by prompting the retro art in one of his Twitter threads here.

The actual prompt:

[Minimalist retro sci – fi art collage, surrealism] [YOUR TOPIC] —ar 16:9 —s 1000 —q 2

– we just simply can’t get enough of it!

Activities work too!

And here is the catch, as Nicolas pointed out:

‘the brackets in prompt according to the documentation can help cluster different sections of the prompt, and for those that want to know some initial values:
—ar is aspect ratio
—s is a way to control how “creative” midjourney can get with its style
—q is to set quality
—v is to set which version of midjourney you want to use’

and Kath/Пані Катерина (@Marikamew) updated things a bit:

‘you can get rid of —q 2 it doesn’t affect your quality since v 4 appeared. —q value was used in previous models to make MJ produce better quality for generations but since 2 past models already have HQ it is no needed’

Go retro!
