What is ASCII art Midjourney Prompt

ASCII art is a unique digital art form that constructs images from the 95 printable characters defined by the ASCII standard. Originating from the early days of computing, this technique creates a distinctive, retro-tech aesthetic. In Midjourney, applying the ASCII art `style` transforms subjects into intricate, text-based masterpieces. A well-crafted `prompt` can produce everything from complex portraits to detailed landscapes, all rendered with a nostalgic, lo-fi charm. This style is perfect for creating visually striking images that merge the worlds of typography, computer history, and modern AI art.

ASCII art Prompt Ideas

  • A portrait of Albert Einstein made entirely of mathematical equations and scientific symbols, ASCII art style, high contrast, monochrome --ar 3:4
  • A sprawling cyberpunk cityscape at night, neon signs glowing, rendered in complex ASCII art, terminal green on black background, retro-futuristic --ar 16:9
  • A close-up of a lion's face, its mane formed by flowing text and symbols, ASCII art, powerful and intense expression, dramatic lighting --ar 4:3
  • The concept of a digital consciousness awakening, visualized as a swirling vortex of code and characters, abstract ASCII art, chaotic yet structured, high detail --ar 1:1

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a Midjourney Style Reference (--sref)?

A Style Reference, or SREF, is a powerful feature that lets you use the aesthetic of a reference image to influence the style of your generations. Our library provides the direct SREF code for thousands of styles.

How do I understand and use the Aspect Ratio (--ar) parameter?

The --ar parameter controls the aspect ratio of your image. For example, --ar 16:9 creates a widescreen image. Our guide provides a full list of supported ratios.

Why is my SREF code not working?

Ensure you are using a compatible Midjourney version (v6 or newer) and check for typos. Sometimes, strong keywords in your prompt can override the style; try reducing the style weight (e.g., --sw 250).

Can I use this SREF code with a Character Reference (--cref)?

Yes, --sref and --cref can be used together. This is a powerful combination to maintain a consistent character while applying a consistent style.

Which versions support style reference?

Style Reference is compatible with Midjourney versions 6, 7, and Niji 6.

What is the default image size for Midjourney V7?

Midjourney V7 creates upscaled images at 2048 x 2048 pixels for the default 1:1 aspect ratio.

What is the default style weight and what range can I use?

The default style weight is --sw 100. You can set it between 0 and 1000.
