Midjourney --v 8 is about to be released, and I feel like this example really shows how much more beautiful and emotionally nuanced MJ is compared to everyone else. Left: Midjourney Right: Nano banana Prompt: "A melancholic medieval young woman with a soft, sorrowful gaze, standing in partial profile. Her gown is slightly tattered at the edges, with a loosely draped neckline suggesting past elegance. Her head is tilted upward, yawning dramatically with her eyes closed and mouth open, eyebrows drawn with quiet distress. Behind her, a tall man stands closely, one arm placed around her waist, his expression distant and conflicted a cold, intense stare filled with superiority. The atmosphere is dim and dramatic, with soft chiaroscuro lighting, stone walls fading into shadow behind them, subtle painterly textures, historical illustration style, cinematic framing" Aesthetically it's not even close, but aside from that, what Midjourney generated here shows incredible emotional nuance. "Her eyebrows drawn with quiet distress." "His expression distant and conflicted, a cold, intense stare filled with superiority." The emotion as described is captured so beautifully.

I think this Midjourney V7 style reference might interest you: --sref 1142076217 This style is cinematic sci-fi sketch concept art. Loose ink linework, rough strokes, and soft color washes create a raw, storyboard-like feel. It blends Moebius-inspired sci-fi with modern industrial design and cinematic lighting. Feels like a movie before it exists.

Here’s a Midjourney V7 style reference you might want to explore: --sref 3348769398 This style is European comic caricature with cinematic lighting.

I spent 6 hours testing Midjourney v8 against every major image model. Conclusions: 1. v8 is better when you use a profile 2. If you push --s to higher levels, you start to get the same person 3. v8 in RAW mode is subpar 4. v8 lacks fidelity What do you think? Prompt below:

Did Anyone Win? 🎬 Made with Midjourney + Seedance 2.0 on @mitte_ai Full prompt below 👇
@Dari_Designs ·
Things I found useful with V8 alpha (from my own experience): - use many different profiles with different moodboards (even if the combination makes no sense). Somehow, when I use 5–7 profiles + a couple of moodboards, results get much better - stylization 1000 - don’t be afraid of chaos, anything between --c 10 and --c 100 - run many iterations and be patient V8 is still very far from perfect, but I trust they’ll refine it. Aesthetically, nothing else comes close to Midjourney so far

Since Midjourney arrived three years ago, I feel like I've been caught in a constant internal conflict between my adult self, who wants to exploit it for professional reasons, and my childlike self, who just wants to build worlds with it. And I'm starting to understand why David refuses to make it a tool designed for professionals. The child is winning.

Midjourney V8 Blend - Monochrome --profile oovu5h7 --sref 2298369550 --v 8 --hd Warning : Your prompt should align with a high-quality monochrome photographic style and accurately describe the desired subject. V8 Alpha do not tolerate simple or vague prompts. The best results are achieved when the prompt is properly aligned with the moodboard and the srefs. Prompt in alt for example.

Midjourney 8.1 + Seedance 2.0 is an incredible combination of AI tools. More examples coming!
@promptsref ·
This might be one of the most hypnotic SREF styles I’ve seen lately. sref 621218381 on niji 6 creates a surreal, glowing world that feels like ukiyo-e met futuristic fantasy in a dream. Think: deep midnight blues burning orange-red light bioluminescent details mystical symbols soft halos everywhere The result looks mysterious, elegant, and slightly unreal — perfect if you want images that instantly feel cinematic and magical. Where this style works really well in Midjourney: fantasy game key art album covers with a mystical vibe myth-inspired character portraits VR or immersive worldbuilding scenes nightclub / concept branding visuals fashion campaign backgrounds with a surreal edge If you want to push this look further, try concepts like: bioluminescent clusters deep sea phantasm nocturnal ritual These directions make the style feel richer, stranger, and way more memorable. I dropped the full prompt formula in the comments. Use it if you want to recreate this exact aesthetic fast. #midjourney #sref
@promptsref ·
This Midjourney SREF feels like opening a forgotten photo album from the 80s. Warm golden light, soft fade, real film grain, slightly blurred edges— everything looks like a memory instead of just an image. sref 3799554500 Perfect if you want to create: nostalgic brand posters retro fashion ads album covers editorial portraits cinematic social posts 80s-inspired game scenes If your images feel too “clean” or too digital, this style adds that missing human warmth. Try adding: film grain warm golden hour vintage color palette The full prompt is in the comments if you want to recreate this exact look. #midjourney #sref

Brand aesthetic style. No. 1 For travel + adventure brands, hospitality, lifestyle, wanderlust. Steal this style. Take it, use it, run with it or create your own visuals, like this: In Midjourney, add --p muq75ko m7373186466366619672 at the end of the prompt to get this style. I also used --s 400 (and occasionally --c 8) Prompts and images for you to download and use below.

⛵️Midjourney Office Hours Notes trip 🇫🇷 En français en commentaire After spending two and a half years translating the notes from Midjourney’s ‘Office Hours’ for the French community, and having been posting on Midjourney’s Discord server for about a year, I’ve decided to bring all these posts to life. A journey through the styles and history of Midjourney. The images weren’t originally intended to follow on from one another; rather, they were designed to showcase the widest possible range of styles. As a result, sequencing them wasn’t necessarily straightforward, but I hope you’ll find the final result captivating. A big thank you to James Griffing, who has done a remarkable job and who has supported and guided me through this adventure. And thank you to @aliejules, who posted the recaps on X when I first started. And of course, a huge thank you to @DavidSHolz for being there every week to work and share updates on this fantastic tool, and thank you to all the Midjourney teams working behind the scenes. https://t.co/TnkgpTfC58

Yesterday @javilopen asked what happened to Midjourney. Usually if a tool disappoints I move on and keep it to myself, but I was scrolling through Midjourney's official Twitter account and something stopped me. They were implying that long prompts are usually "𝐠𝐩𝐭𝐬𝐥𝐨𝐩". I had to sit with that for a second because they are sitting at version 8 of their model, prompt length and adherence is still limited, faces are still distorted, no Omni feature in V8, text accuracy is still a problem and they removed relax mode so you are spending your credits on bad outputs. And still the users are the problem who are using too long prompts? It is 2026. We have Nano Banana Pro and NB2 with enormous context length, we have Black Forest Labs Flux2 Klein with text rendering running on consumer hardware, we have image editing models capable of taking 14 input images and now the problem is the user who wants to use longer than 1300 characters to control the output? I'm not writing against Midjourney itself, but more about this tweet. It's a great tool for quick visualizing, but since V6 they are falling behind while even open source, free models are catching up. Some examples for V8 and same promtps in Nano Banana Pro/2 4K in the gallery.

I've been testing Midjourney v8 in its alpha release this week. I know there've been mixed reactions so far, and I understand why; not everything is landing yet. But this caught my eye. Look at the tear. Many AI models have struggled with tears but, here, it catches the light the way a real tear would. And the redness around the eye, the overall expression and framing of the face: I think it works well. Have you had any images with v8 that have really worked for you?
@TheoMediaAI ·
Playing around with Midjourney v8-- namely trying out our "Female Cyberpunk Assassin w/ Short Red Hair" in a few different styles. Lots of hot takes on MJv8a wonk-- and, sure I'm getting it too-- but I think the important part to remember: It's an Alpha. This is pretty typical MJ. Alpha is always the playground to get adjusted to the new model. I'm gonna keep messing with it to see what I can pull out.

I’m genuinely surprised most people still use one AI image model for everything. Here’s how to choose the right AI image model for every creative task. --- 1. ChatGPT Images 2.0 is the best all-purpose option for generation, editing, reasoning, and accurate text. --- 2. Google Nano Banana 2 excels at fast editing, reference consistency, product visuals, and factual imagery. --- 3. Midjourney V8.1 is ideal for cinematic, artistic, visually striking, and style-rich images. --- 4. Seedream 5.0 Pro works best for multilingual campaigns, cultural localisation, and professional advertising visuals. --- 5. Ideogram 4.0 is a strong choice for typography, posters, layouts, infographics, and readable text. --- 6. Recraft V4 Pro is built for polished graphic design, brand assets, mockups, icons, and commercial creatives. --- 7. FLUX.2 Pro is best suited for developers building custom image applications, APIs, and automated workflows. --- 8. Adobe Firefly Image Model 5 fits professional Photoshop, advertising, photography, and enterprise workflows. --- 9. Runway Gen-4 Image delivers consistent characters and scenes for storyboards, videos, and visual storytelling. --- 10. Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large offers privacy, local generation, custom models, and maximum creative control. --- To learn more, check the infographic. ---

You can make relaxing animations quickly using Midjourney and Seedance 2. I used @runwayml for this example. These are great when you need a creative diversion. Workflow with prompts in the replies:
@RoundtableSpace ·
Every filmmaker needs to try this hybrid AI workflow for precision camera control. Block out your camera move in Blender to create a motion reference. Generate your start frame in Midjourney to match the pose and composition. Feed both into Seedance. It tracks the move almost exactly. This is one of the most powerful hybrid pipelines out there right now.

Insane how little people talk about Midjourney these days. Two years ago, dozens of VCs were asking me for intros to David Holz. It was one of the hottest AI companies on the planet. He decided not to raise any money. That has ended up being a grave mistake. Now Google and OpenAI are running laps around them. Better tech, much better interface. It didn't have to be that way. Midjourney had a lead. But it needed real resources to keep the momentum going against well-funded competition. Midjourney is a perfect example of when VC funding makes truly logical sense.
