Midjourney prompts work better when you describe materials, not adjectives
tisch_eins · x · 2026-07-20
The post argues that prompts often fail on a single vague word, especially adjectives like “beautiful.”
It recommends replacing vague descriptors with concrete materials and visual structure. Example:
- Weak: “a beautiful mosaic portrait”
- Strong: “[subject] as a Byzantine gold mosaic, tiny glass tesserae, shimmering gold ground, bold dark outlines, aged grout lines, richly detailed --ar 5:4 --v 8.1”
The takeaway is simple: describe what the model should render in terms of materials, texture, and construction details instead of generic praise words.
