Thinkerbell head of art Marcus Byrne launches new book ‘Prompt Secrets to Midjourney Magic’

With the recent release of Midjourney V6, author and Thinkerbell head of art Marcus Byrne has launched his latest book, inviting users to elevate their Midjourney skills.

Following updates to Midjourney’s AI software, Australian designer Marcus Byrne is extremely pleased to release 101 Midjourney Prompt Secrets Vol. 2; a comprehensive resource, enriched with stunning visuals, which provides an invaluable approach to navigating the latest version of Midjourney. The book is a revised version of Vol 1 which was released early last year and has a new method to visually explain how the prompts work.

Midjourney can be daunting for first time users and the real magic happens when using the  parameters; those funny code-like-number-thingys at the end of prompts that tend  to confuse people (–s 500, –w 1500 or –c 100).

101 Midjourney Prompt Secrets Vol. 2, is a user-friendly guide designed to demystify the intricacies of Midjourney prompts.

Says Byrne: “As we continue to witness the transformative impact of AI, storytelling has emerged as a democratised art form. AI empowers individuals to connect and share diverse perspectives, whilst fostering global empathy. ‘101 Midjourney Prompt Secrets Volume 2’ exemplifies this shift,  serving as a catalyst for storytellers to harness the potential of AI for positive change.”

The book features 101 prompts and covers a huge range of subjects, from food to character design, drawing styles to generating real looking people. Each prompt is accompanied by corresponding images, allowing users to learn by easily replicating styles by copying and pasting while modifying the variables to iterate and tweak. At the book’s conclusion, a handy tips parameter guide provides further clarity, offering a detailed explanation of the process with image references.

To dip your toe in the murky Midjourney water, a free sample book is available for download which offers a taste of the storytelling capabilities waiting to be explored. The book is also available on Apple Books.
