Studio Ghibli’s animated movies are loved for their beautiful pictures and deep stories. They show magical worlds that feel real. Text-to-image AI, like Midjourney, lets people make art similar to Ghiblis by using special prompts.

You can use words that mention Ghibli or directors like Hayao Miyazaki. Include descriptions of magical lands, strange creatures, and rich scenes like those in Ghibli movies.

To write a good Ghibli-style prompt, focus on their movies’ magic and real feel. Talk about places full of nature, characters with lots of feelings, and Japanese culture and myths.

Adjusting the prompt’s words and details can change the image’s light, colors, and feel. This helps make the artwork look more like something Studio Ghibli would make.

How to Use Ghibli Prompts

1. Mention the desired style explicitly, such as “in the Ghibli style,” “Miyazaki-esque,” or “inspired by Studio Ghibli.”
2. Use modifiers like “soft lighting,” “painted textures,” “watercolor,” or “detailed” to guide the aesthetic qualities.
3. For creature or character designs, include descriptors like “mischievous expression,” “friendly,” “fierce yet noble,” etc.
4. Specify artistic techniques or mediums, such as “pencil sketch,” “concept art,” or “background painting.“
5. Reference cultural elements like Japanese architecture, mythology, or rural village scenes.
6. Combine multiple Ghibli-inspired elements in a single prompt for unique and fantastical scenes.
7. Experiment with different prompt structures, and keyword combinations, and make use of the image weight and upscaling parameters in Midjourney.
